Aston Martin DBR4 10th Italian GP 1959 Carroll Shelby in 1:43 scale by Spark. At the 1959 Italian Grand Prix held at the high-speed Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, American racer Carroll Shelby drove the Aston? Martin DBR4 #26 to a 10th-place finish, two laps down on the winning Cooper-Climax of Stirling Moss. The DBR4 was Aston Martin’s front-engined Formula? 1 challenger in a season dominated by rear-engine designs, and despite its lack of competitiveness compared to the lighter and more modern Cooper and Ferrari cars, Shelby’s result was a rare relative success for the under-developed project. Shelby – better known for his later sports car triumphs and tuning legend status – displayed grit and mechanical sympathy over 72 laps on Monza’s long straights and fast corners. The 1959 Italian GP itself is unique among races of that era for emphasizing outright top speed around a “power circuit” where aerodynamic efficiency and engine performance were tested to the limit, making for a stark contrast with tighter, more technical tracks on the calendar.
