The triumphs and tragedies of 1960s Grand Prix racing Originally published in 1963 - The Cruel Sport covers Grand Prix racing from 1959 through 1967. It was an era of daring, dashing drivers piloting incredlbly powerful race cars around fast and legendary circuits with only primitive safety equipment to spare them disaster. 50 per cent of drivers (and many spectators) were killed due to lack of safety measures.
