A ROADMAP FOR A TENTATIVE EXPLANATION

OF BERND ROSEMEYER'S JANUARY 28, 1938 ACCIDENT . . .

"One and a half minute later after passing the 1 km finish line at a speed of approximately 432 km/h the car moved left towards the grass, returned in a slide, rolled over and disintegrated in a series of somersaults. The events can be followed in the picture below. Bernd Rosemeyer was found in the woods over 100 m from the wreck. His heart was still beating when Dr. Gl�ser reached him but it stopped shortly afterwards. Caracciola's run in the morning of 28 January 1938 remains to this day the fastest ever made by a car on a normal road."
