Ferrari 250TR (1958) Sieger von Sebring

This is the car, number 14, which powered Phil Hill and Peter Collins to victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1958. Six of these Testa Rossas competed in the 1958 edition of the mighty race, including three Works entries and three privateers. Appreciating that Sebring is notorious (even to this day) as a circuit of high attrition, Hill and Collins decided pre-race that they would not drive at ten tenths in the early stages, saving both the car’s brakes and gearbox. They sat in fourth position in the first hour, then fell to fifth and stayed there for the next three hours. In the fifth hour, both Astons experienced a gearbox problem and before the halfway mark, number 14 took the lead. Covering 200 laps, 1040 miles and an average speed of 86.5mph, this was the car that established the all-new Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa as the main sports car championship contender for that year, with its second straight victory in the series.
