Hi Gordon - I activated "Shockwave Flash" in Waterfox (also available for Windows & portable) and now http://www.modbase.info/ is visible too.
In fact in the original Firefox it seems that Flashplayer cannot be activated anymore (???)

Take a look at this amazing cartoon about Le Mans-1955 big crash. It's a really amazing cartoon (made in France, I think, by Belgian filmmaker Quentin Baillieux !). It's very emotional and touching, and focus on Mercedes team. It's about 15 minutes.

Thank you Ney. Such a weird time of racing where nothing else seemed to matter to some, lives were cheap and emotions were for the unbrave.
R.I.P. to the 80 who died in 1955

Contributing both a resource and a request. Here's the former: a fun ongoing YouTube series about some of the weirder and more obscure cars ever made, from prototypes to race cars to production vehicles. There are almost 100 entries and some of them are hilariously bizarre, like "the Tyrrell P34 is tame in comparison" levels of strange.
And now the request: does anyone have a good lead on history and results of Japanese touring and sports cars from the '60s and '70s? I've been going through some mods (Datsun 240Z, Nissan Skyline 'Hakosuka', Isuzu Bellett, Mazda RX-3, et al) that include replicas of real-world skins from Japanese racing series, and I want to put together a historical league, but I can't easily find info on what series, year, and class these cars ran in. (Not even racingsportscars has detailed info, which is frustrating.)

Very difficult respectively impossible to find anything concerning Japanese Touring Cars from that period

Oh well. At least I'm still able to get basic info from my favorite unlikely source(s): websites that sell scale diecast model cars.

There's actually a really great French Toyota 2000GT website that has some info and quite a few pics from some of the Japanese sports car / touring car races for the years 1966 and 1967:
