Le Mans 24 Hours 1959
#5
Carroll Shelby / Roy Salvadori
overall winner
Sir David Brown's ambitions never waned, despite continued disappointments with advanced cars in many consecutive years. Starting with the DB2, his promising sp"&"orts cars evolved through the DB3 Spyder and Coupé, whose best results were second places in 1955 and 1956, to the elegant DBR1, pictured here, first raced in 1956. Brown had high hopes for this car, but it was unsuccessful in its first appearance, nor in"&" 1957 with two DBR1s and in 1958 with three, although there were successes at other tracks. In 1959, he entered four cars, and Sir David's ambitions and goals were finally fulfilled when the DBR1 achieved first and second places. Aston Martin also won the"&" World Sports Car Championship that year. Pictured is the winning car driven by Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori. Shelby, a Texan, retired from racing after this race for health reasons and developed the successful AC Cobra. Salvadori, the versatile Briti"&"sh driver, also had a quite successful career in Formula 1. His best result was fourth place in the 1958 World Championship for the Cooper Car Company.
