Hudson Straight-Eight Indianapolis by mastermek

Hudson Straight-Eight Indianapolis

Build for the Indy-500, 1933. 3 years before, the event was saved by a new rule that all cars had to be fitted with standard engines, making participation affordable again.

It turned out to be a tragic race in which not only many cars crashed, but also 3 drivers and 2 mechanics lost their lives. Racing used to be a very, very dangerous sport. It's unbelievable how the thrill makes these drivers put their lives on the line again and again.

Only 1 of the 4 Hudsons made it to the finish. It is not known whether this was that car.
