In 1959, Sir Stirling Moss convinced Aston Martin Company owner Sir David Brown to lend him an Aston Martin DBR1 sports car to participate in the N�rburgring 1000 km. Brown�s only real goal for 1959 was to win at Le Mans, so allowed only one car to go.
Moss was completely convinced that he could repeat his previous year�s win there, against some strong Ferrari opposition.
Driving at 10/10ths for the whole race, Moss did indeed reel in his second consecutive Aston Martin win at N�rburgring, with the assistance of his co-driver Jack Fairman.
In the illustration, Sir Stirling Moss gets ahead of second place winner Phil Hill; Moss� win gave Aston Martin the additional points required to clinch the World GT Championship.
