1958 1000 km Nürburgring

Sports car endurance race in Germany The 4. Internationales ADAC 1000 Kilometer Rennen Nürburgring took place on 1 June, on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, (West Germany). It was also the fourth round of the F.I.A. World Sports Car Championship, which was running to new regulations introduced at the beginning of the season. thumb|right|Nürburgring Nordschleife Report Entry A massive total of 72 racing cars were registered for this event, of which 69 arrived for practice. Only these, only 54 started the long-distance race on the 14.174 mile German circuit. The first three events of the season, ended with victory for Scuderia Ferrari. As Hill and Collins also won the last race of the previous season, the Venezuelan Grand Prix Ferrari had now won four races in a row. With these new rules, and Maserati on the brink of financial crisis, Scuderia Ferrari would head the Italian challenge. Ferrari had four works 250 TR 58s in the Eifel mountains, Mike Hawthorn/Peter Collins, Luigi Musso/Phil Hill, Wolfgang von Trips/Olivier Gendebien and Gino Munaron/Wolfgang Seidel. Opposition would no longer come from Maserati... but from Porsche and Aston Martin. http://www.racingsportscars.com/entry/Nurburgring-1958-06-01.html Nürburgring 1000 Kilometres 1958 - Entry List - Racing Sports Cars David Brown won the event in 1957 sent along three Aston Martin DBR1 over from England for Stirling Moss/Jack Brabham, Tony Brooks/Stuart Lewis-Evans and Roy Salvadori/Carroll Shelby, while Porsche arrived with two different cars; 550 RS and 718 RSK for their squad of drivers led by Jean Behra and Harry Schell.

The day of the race would be warm and dry, with a crowd of approximately 150,000 in attendance to witness the race. http://www.racingsportscars.com/race/Nurburgring-1958-06-01.html Nürburgring 1000 Kilometres 1958 - Racing Sports Cars As for the race victory, this did not go to Scuderia Ferrari, as they were beaten by more than three minutes by the Aston Martin DBR1/300 of Moss and Brabham, gaining the marque their first points of the season and Ferrari's first defeat of the season. The winning partnership, won in a time of 7hr 23:32.0 mins., averaging a speed of 84.360 mph. The margin of triumph over the Ferrari of Hawthorn/Collins was 3 min 44s, who were followed home by their teammates von Trips/Gendebien who were a further 5 min 58s adrift. The works Ferraris took the next two places, meaning they finished 2-3-4-5. Ferrari's second place clinched that year's World Sports Car Championship as with 30 points no other manufacturer could catch them. Stirling Moss's pace was so quick that his fastest lap of the race, was faster than Hawthorn's pole lap. The race continued for another hour to allow the other classes/division to try and complete the full 1000 km. Sadly, Erwin Bauer after being shown the checkered flag, as he did not see it, he continued racing and crashed fatally on what was supposed to be his slowing down lap. http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/Nurburgring-1958-06-01.html?sort=Results Nürburgring 1000 Kilometres 1958 - Photo Gallery - Racing Sports Cars http://cc100.astonmartin.com/dbr1 Reference at cc100.astonmartin.com 2015-12-13 2016-02-25 https://web.archive.org/web/20160225224044/http://cc100.astonmartin.com/dbr1 dead http://www.teamdan.com/archive/wsc/1958/58nurb.html Reference at www.teamdan.com 2015-12-13 2016-03-04 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304055151/http://www.teamdan.com/archive/wsc/1958/58nurb.html deadhttp://www.supercars.net/cars/72.html 1957 Aston Martin DBR1 | Aston Martin 19 April 2016 Official Classification Class Winners are in Bold text.
