The 1000km race in 1971 was not a good one for Ferrari
(I like the face of the the mechanic. Looks like he found out how much work is needed to fix it.)
Description: Jacky Ickx built up a strong lead, but his mate Regazzoni lost it somehow. When he was overtaken by eventuel race winner Pedro Rodriguez he tried to regain the 1st position. At the farest corner of the circuit, the Dr. Tiroch-corner, he lost control of the 3L-sports car and crashed heavily into the armcco barriers. Regga was unhurt, but the car really wrecked.
Possibly it happened due to a suspension failure. The accident happened on lap 148 of 170.

From the same event. I don`t know which driver. But with a look at the wrecks I am going to say it's Göring
