1950 Unglonian Grand Prix

I'm Billy Rhodes broadcasting live from Strathcona Park for the 13th Unglonian Grand Prix, the first to be held after the war. 18 cars are lined up for this international showdown. (Is it really international when there are only 3 foreign drivers?)

The flag drops and we're away! 18 cars surge across the starting line!

Juan Hernandez breaks a conrod on lap 3.

David Robbins loses a camshaft on lap 9.

Ivor Granville and Alberto Oriotiz collide on lap 14.

Raymond Sommer suffers an engine failure on lap 36.

Todd Kennedy gets a magneto failure on lap 48.

Owen Owens breaks his brakes (geddit?) on lap 58.

Colin Gainsville has a gearbox failure on lap 64.

Darwin Langley suffers a puncture on lap 76.

Cecilio Orellana runs out of fuel on lap 90, just 11 laps from the end.

Lucio Quintana wins the Unglonian Grand Prix!
