maybe a bit off topic, but wasn't this one incident "nail" for motor racing in Switzerland??

Indeed it was. I think I'm right in saying that there has been no circuit racing on Swiss soil since 1955 - even to the extent of The Swiss Grand Prix being held outside Switzerland. Many other countries, I believe, brought in restrictions following LM55 and it led to massive revisions to the pit straight at Le Mans.
