Speaking of deCadenet and kind of a comical accident. A few years back at the Mille Miglia podium, when he bopped the brakes in his 250GT, the stage floor wasn't fastened down so the enertia took it out. Well, all the announcers fell over where they were standing next to the car!

Going back further, I recall watching some televised vintage event and it might have been deCadenet having a shunt in some rare Alfa... wasn't his car either. Schitz happens.
