1949/1956
The Greens are back!
At recovery time, many makes have disappeared, leaving the track to newcomers. In fact, a brand new manufacturer, Ferrari, wins this first post-war race.
Nevertheless, the '50s are beyond a shadow of doubt the Jaguar years with the help of the C and D Types. Talbot (1950), Mercedes (1952) and Ferrari (1954) come out ahead.
A terrible accident casts a tragic shadow over the 1955 event.
New installations, a wider and shortened track welcome the 1956 edition which, for the first time since 1924, is not held in June.
