On August 18, 1957, Formula One travelled to the longest and most dangerous circuit ever to host a World Championship race: Pescara. Stirling Moss tamed the 25-kilometre monster to claim a famous victory — but the track never returned, earning its place as The Circuit That Time Forgot.
In this episode of Chequered Past, we explore that one-off Italian epic, before turning to other dramatic August 18 moments:
- Carlos Reutemann’s commanding Austrian Grand Prix win in 1974,
- Andrea de Cesaris’s spectacular crash in 1985 that cost him his seat, and
- Ferrari’s clinching of the Constructors’ Championship in 2002.
It’s a date that captures Formula One at its extremes: danger, dominance, disaster, and forgotten glory.
