Juan Manuel Fangio, an Argentinean race car driver, dominated Formula One racing in the first decade of the sport, in the 1940’s and 50’s. In the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, as he exited the tunnel on the second lap, Fangio braked (inexplicably) as opposed to the normal behavior of maintaining speed. As a result, he avoided a horrendous accident, which was beyond his vision around the bend…and subsequently went on to win the race.
It wasn’t ESP that triggered his immediate reaction. Fangio had picked up a remarkable detail in his peripheral vision. Normally, the spectators in the stands have their faces turned towards the drivers as they exit the tunnel (pale color). At this particular moment, the spectators were looking up the track towards the scene of the accident and had the back of their heads facing Fangio (dark color). This subtle change in color registered instantaneously in Fangio’s non-conscious mind, and caused him to brake, thus avoiding the wreckage, and led to his winning the race.
