11 JUNE 1955 LE-MANS DISASTER =11 JUNE 2022>THIS IS THE ONLY TIME SINCE 1955 IN 67 YEARS THAT THE RACE HAS BEEN RUN ON THIS DATE. See below 2 letters I have emailed to every race team entering this years 24 Hours of Le-Mans, I have also emailed my suggestions to the ACO and forwarded a copy of these 2 letters to them.> Please, consider, with great respect, my request ! At 6,26pm on lap 35 on the 11 June 1955 at Le-mans a catastrophic/disaster occurred that took the lives of 83 spectators plus French racing driver Pierre Levegh, also injured or maimed were approximately 200 other people. This was and still is the biggest catastrophic disaster in motor racing history. The above mentioned disaster is not common knowledge, I believe it would be an honourable decent human gesture to show and acknowledge respect to all of those people who lost their lives or were injured in any way shape or form, by observing 1 minute of silence before the forthcoming race, and also for each participating team at the end of the race to dedicate this 11 June 2022 race to all of the people who were effected by that shocking catastrophe on 11th June 1955. I have emailed a copy of this email to all the other participating Le-Mans race teams. Kindest Regards Best Wishes Andrew Holt UK Dear race team manager. Regarding my previous email, Further to my previous email of 31st May 2022, I have been contacted by several people who are involved with or taking part in the forthcoming race at Le-Mans, they are now considering my earlier request. I would like to clarify to yourself what I was trying to say in my previous email of the 31st May! See below> I would be Eternally grateful if every race team participating at this years 24 hours of LE-MANS 11 June 2022 could collaborate together with the ACO to officially arrange and observe 1 minute of Silence before the race and also for all the race teams to dedicate this race to all the people who died or were injured or effected in any way shape or form by the catastrophic disaster on 11 June1955. I am sincerely grateful for your help Kindest Regards Best Wishes Andrew Holt UK
