The Significance of the 1959 Aston Martin DBR1

The Aston Martin DBR1 is widely regarded as one of the greatest sports racing cars ever produced and is unquestionably the most successful competition Aston Martin in history.

Designed specifically to compete at the highest level of international endurance racing, the DBR1 featured lightweight construction, exceptional handling, and a powerful six-cylinder engine capable of competing against Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche, and Maserati.

The artwork depicted here captures the graceful lines of the famous #5 Aston Martin DBR1, one of the most beautiful and successful racing cars ever to compete at Le Mans. Danny Day's meticulous rendering highlights the car's flowing bodywork, low aerodynamic profile, open cockpit, and purposeful stance that made the DBR1 both elegant and formidable.

The DBR1 reached its greatest achievement in 1959 when Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori drove Aston Martin to overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. That triumph secured Aston Martin's first—and to this day only—overall victory at Le Mans and completed one of the most successful seasons in the company's racing history.

In addition to its Le Mans victory, Aston Martin captured the 1959 World Sportscar Championship, defeating some of the finest racing teams in the world.

Today, the Aston Martin DBR1 is considered one of the most important race cars ever built and ranks among the most valuable collector automobiles in existence.

Carroll Shelby – Le Mans Winner and Automotive Legend

Before becoming famous as the creator of the Cobra, Shelby Mustang, and GT40 racing programs, Carroll Shelby was one of the world's finest racing drivers.

His crowning achievement behind the wheel came at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he and Roy Salvadori piloted the Aston Martin DBR1 to overall victory against the world's best endurance racing teams.

Shelby's accomplishments include:

• Winner of the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans

• Creator of the Shelby Cobra

• Creator of the Shelby Mustang

• Leader of Ford's GT40 racing program

• Automotive Hall of Fame inductee

• One of the most influential figures in motorsports history
