Reply to comment by Senna_65 in TIL of the 1955 Le Mans disaster. French driver Pierre Levegh crashed into a crowd of spectators. The crash, explosion and subsequent fire killed 84 and injured more than 120. It is still the deadliest car race crash ever. by triviafrenzy

Interestingly, Switzerland banned round-course races, but not hill challenges. Basically, races where the Start and Finish are not in the same place are still allowed. The ban was lifted in 2022.

Small addition/correction, the law was updated in 2015 to allow for electric circuit racing (and the 2018 Zurich e-prix).
