On this day.
65 years ago today (22 Jan 1959) Mike Hawthorn, only months into his retirement after becoming Britain’s first World Drivers Champion, was tragically killed at the age of 29 in a car crash on the A3 Guildford bypass in Surrey, England

I also remember it being a MK 1 Jag; and yes the Hog's Back section of the A3.
I heard a radio interview a few years back (possibly this time of the year) where the other driver involved admitted that they had been testing each other; not sure if he actually said racing. I believe the other driver was a team mechanic, from the Grand Prix World. Mike
