May in Racing History

1 Stirling Moss drives a race car for the first time in over a year—since the crash that nearly killed him—in a test session at Goodwood, England. His driving is not up to his own standard, and he retires from competition (1963).

2 Driver Henri Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresta are killed when their Lancia Delta S4 Group B rally car crashes into a tree and bursts into flames during the Tour de Corse Rally (1986).
