The ASTON MARTIN DBR1 remains a Potent Competitor in Classic Car Races!!


Blog by Gmy.



Origin by UK
First manufactured in Year 1956 until 1959
Engine installed 2,493 cc or 2,992 cc DOHC Straight Six

Top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h) when slipstreaming

When Aston Martin clinched the 1959 World Sportscar Championship at Goodwood the car driven by stirling Moss went up in flames, putting the official pit out of commission - privateer Graham Whitehead then scratched his DBR1 to allow the factory entries to refuel, Moss switched to another car.... & drove to victory.
