Rally Review, October 1979
Rally of the Thousand Lakes FISA's World Championship bombshell The biggest bombshell of Finland's Rally of the Thousand Lakes at the end of August came not during the rally itself…
The 75th anniversary of Aston Martin’s first Le Mans 24 Hours is to be commemorated by a race at Silverstone’s St John Horsfall meeting.
The all-Aston grid on June 28 will be headed by the 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1. This will be backed up by eight examples of the DB3S model, which scored second places in ’55-56 and ’58. A number of the factory DB2 cars from ’51 are also on the entry list.
The marque first entered the classic French event in 1928 with LM1 and LM2, both of which retired.
