I'm just surprised it was still the best option in 1955. Fibreglass had been around for some time and was already being used in similar applications. We had all of WW2 and ten years of the jet age developing high performance airframes. I was just expecting some sort of alloy or something instead of making it out of fire asbestos.
I don't know, I haven't gotten to the end of the podcast yet. Maybe it's just a cool race and someone wins and they all enjoy a drink together at the end.
edit: ah shit it was a disaster and only one guy enjoyed a drink at the end.
I want a feel-good film that only follows him. Maybe the disaster happens briefly and halfway off-camera, maybe he just drives past without looking because he really wants to win, but it's not even a feature. It's just a heartwarming story of a man winning the big race and kissin' his gal.

It clearly wasn’t the best option.
