Aston Martin DBR1 n°1 Winner

Three weeks before the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Stirling Moss proposes to John Wyer to enter the DBR1 at the 1000 km of the Nürburing by paying personally the costs of this unexpected trip.

The bet is even bolder because we must use the first chassis manufactured in 1956 to avoid the preparation of the car from Le Mans. The race was fierce between Porsche, provisional leader supported by the German public and Ferrari returned to make after the defeat of the Targa Florio.

But it is successful despite the setbacks of Fairman who forces Moss to use all his talents. In 7:33  hours, after 44 laps the British driver won his 3rd consecutive victory at the Nürburgring and the first for Aston. It bodes well for the mancelle event that will see the consecration of Aston more than 30 years after his first participation.
