1970 Formula 1 Dutch GP Zandvoort Holland - Piers Courage

During the Dutch GP at Zandvoort the de Tomaso of Piers Courage slid wide, ran up a bank and crashed. The red car rolled over and burst into flames, and the unfortunate Piers stood no chance. Investigations revealed that Courage probably died before the flames started; his helmet was found at the point of impact with a large smear of rubber on the front, most likely from a wheel detached on impact. You can see the helmet near the marshal dressed in black (stop at 0:35)
