Drunk Racing at Le Mans 24 Hour?

Duncan Hamilton, born 1920, was a larger-than-life character. Hamilton’s antics are a timely reminder of an age when racing drivers didn’t stomp back to their Monaco penthouse for a massive sulk. After Thursday practice his Jag was disqualified, bizarrely, for being on track at the same time as another car bearing the same car number. Disheartened, Hamilton and co-driver Tony Rolt immediately did what any driver of that era would do, they found the nearest pub and gave their sorrows a good lubrications with plenty of Gin.

Most were crated using Corel Painter or Adobe Photoshop.

NOTE: This is bout his earlier crash, not the August 2011 Crash, see below for update.
Unfortunately for auto enthusiast everywhere it was not the ugly piss yellow Mini he drives in the guise of Mr Bean but is own, or should I say Comedian Rowan Atkinson’s expensive 230mph McLaren F1 supercar.
The front of the McLaren F1 supercar was wrecked in the collision with the rear of a lowly Rover Metro. The driver of the Metro, suffered minor whiplash injuries, while Mr Atkinson was unhurt in the accident, well as “unhurt” as you can be if you just bent a million dollar car that as far as I know only 106 were built.
