English: Driver David Bruce-Brown and mechanic Tony Scudelari pose in their race car. Although they had been warned that their tires appeared worn, on October 1, 1912, they continued to practice for Bruce-Brown's third American Grand Prize Race (held on October 5). When a tire on their Fiat burst, the car went cartwheeling into a ditch. Bruce-Brown (only 22 years old), died almost instantly and Scudelari succumbed to his injuries about a week later.
