The Carrera Panamericana Is One Of The Most Dangerous Races Ever

Some call it the most dangerous event in Mexican history… and with a mortality rate of five people killed every year, it certainly proved deadly to participants and spectators alike… Today on PAST GAS, we’re taking a trip to the Sierra Madres and looking back on the original Carrera Panamericana, also known to friends, acquaintances and loved ones as carrera de la muerte… the race of death.
