cars collided and overturned. Farina was largely uninjured, but Hartmann
broke his back and died the next day.
2. Siena (GP) came around a blind high speed corner, and had to brake hard to
brake hard to avoid Cortese (Voiturette), losing control. Siena went over
a sand bank and into a house, dieing instantly.
