Description

Available on black t-shirt here.

During the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Peter Dumbreck miraculously escape uninjured from a violent crash, when his No. 5 Mercedes-Benz CLR somersaulted into the woods at about 300 km/h (190 mph). The crash was believed to be caused by an aerodynamic design flaw resulting in the front of the car rising up and then flipping without any external contact; Mark Webber had already suffered near identical crashes in the No. 4 car during the Thursday night practice and the Saturday morning Warm-up.

This t-shirt from the Powersport Legends range captures the drama of that mad moment in motor racing history and that famous line from the commentator - "Oh my God....the Mercedes has taken off!"
