"Dunlop Bridge: A Legendary Icon of Motorsport History" The Dunlop Bridge, a symbol of speed and adrenaline, has witnessed countless thrilling moments in the world of motorsports. From historic races to iconic demolitions, this structure holds a special place in the hearts of racing enthusiasts. In 1950, during the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race, drivers Michael Hinderer, Peter Hinderer, and Rene Arnoux showcased their skills as they maneuvered their BMW M1 Procar under the shadow of Dunlop Bridge. The roar of engines echoed through Donington Park as Jean-Marc Chris, Richard Braun, Philippe Granier raced by in their Aston Martin MK2 with license plate CV-506-WB. Fast forward to Le Mans Classic 2014 when Nigel Batchelor and Nigel Ormond-Smith took on the challenge behind the wheels of Bentley 4œ Tourer with registration EXT 10. The Dunlop Bridge stood tall as a witness to their determination and passion for speed. Over time, this iconic bridge became synonymous with endurance races like no other. In 2016's edition of the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans race held at Circuit de la Sarthe, it served as a backdrop for intense battles between racers from around the globe. Martin Overington showcased his mastery over his Bentley 4 blower marked GP 8242 while Shaun Lynn pushed his Mercedes C11 to its limits on that fateful day. But it wasn't just about modern machines; history came alive too. Christian Traber skillfully handled Talbot Lago ex monoplace decalee (KSK803) while Michael Birch and Gary Burnett mesmerized spectators with their vintage Talbot 105 (GO52). Each passing car added another layer to Dunlop Bridge's rich tapestry. Today we remember not only its glorious past but also mourn its demolition at Donington Park.
