  • The accident at Sainte-Dévote: Robert Manzon, (56) Simca Gordini I5S. The Aston engine of Parnell blows up in the Ste-Devote and aligns his car against the straw bales, Stagnoli brakes too hard and does a double spin. Moss, Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 and Manzon find an obstructed road, spin and end up against the poor Aston, then Hume spins and reverses into the pile. Fortunately nobody gets hurt. Moss restarted after the accident, but got a black flag for receiving outside help. Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix). - Photo by Edward Quinn
