Solved - MJW #209 - Nova Lisboa 6 Horas, Angola 1974

In case anyone is wondering, my previous #209 was a repost (surprise, surprise!)

Here is the replacement - a 2-point puzzle

One point for the title of this event and the year.
One point for what happened next!

A nude anti-globalist ran across the track?  :)

Don't forget that this is a puzzle worth 2 points.

According to comments in a video, this was due to a terrorist attack, where the bolts of the bridge had been removed. Some comments say that people got killed, some say only wounded people... after this year, Angola gained independance and started selfdestructing (well that's what it did in m view)
