The MG Bridge at the 1958 Sebring 12 Hour Grand Prix

The factory Osca MT4 1500 of Hal Steston, Otto Linton and Harry Beck goes under the old MG Bridge at Sebring in 1958. The Osca is followed by Jean Behra in a factory Porsche 718 RSK. Behra's co-driver was Edgar Barth. The Porsche failed to finish but the Osca finished 13th overall and first in class. By 1970 the MG sign was much larger covering the full length of the walk-over bridge. In 1973 the bridge was falling apart and collapsed during a storm prior to the 1973 Sebring race. It would have been interesting if the bridge had collapsed during the race, don't you think?
