In what year were the old Mulsanne corner signalling posts first used?

1964 ?

Mr. Rick · « **Reply #2 on:** October 17, 2003, 01:27:08 pm »

The year I was born, but not the right answer I'm afraid.

Earlier......

Could I say 1949 as the reopening edition ??

Closer Gilles, there was something that happened that gave rise to the thought of the signalling post in terms of safety.

Was there a Ferrari involved ? If yes then it was some time in the 1950s.

No to the Ferrari comment but yes to the 1950s!

So it could be nothing but 1956 !!!

Wahhaaaayyy!! Well done Gilles!!

It was indeed part of the modifications made in the name of safety after the 1955 accident.
