I hope the country is Great Britain, since there are a lot of crashes which happened there, but are unfindable.
It can't be Great Britain as it was one of the first projects I ever completed:

There might be a Gloucester in America...but that would be mental to take on as a single project.
Ding ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Gloucester, UK, is famous for being the birthtown of
John Stafford Smith whom we all know as the creator of the anthem of the greatest and best country in the world: the American national anthem. That leads us to the United States.
And John Stafford Smith is dead which
obviously leads us to fatalities in motor racing. (Ok, that connection is made up. But it works.)
I'm working with newspapers.com to photographs of fatalities of US drivers that are not yet on here.

As of yet, I've worked my way up to
Tom Bauer. With minor success, so far.
To be fair Gloucester UK is more famous for many other things...
- Cheese Rolling (per Paul's video)
- The Tailor of Gloucester, by Beatrix Potter
- Simon Pegg, born, raised and schooled in Gloucester before becoming and TV and movie star
- Scott Redding, current MotoGP rider is from Gloucester
- Gloucester RFC, one of the top rugby teams in Europe
- Scenes for the early Harry Potter movies were filmed at Gloucester Cathedral
- The Roman ruins
- Fred West, the Roman ruins weren't the only things found buried under ground
- Me (I lived in Gloucester for 15+ years)
It is interesting that John Stafford Smith is from Gloucester, I must admit that it is the first I've heard of that. You'll probably find that the majority of Gloucester folk won't know either.
