Having mastered the 1000 Miglia, Ferrari stands out at Le Mans with seven victories from 1958 on, a year which sees the arrival of the glorious Testa Rossa.

The domination is mistreated in 1959 when Aston Martin persists after its victory at the Nürburgring, making David Brown's dream come true: first across the finish line at Le Mans.

World Champion at the end of the year, the British company is unfortunately not able to repeat this in spite of two DBR1s featuring among the top ten the following year.

With a fifth victory in 1961, Ferrari joins the Bentley and Jaguar prize list. Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill win once again, the Belgian driver getting his third victory in Le Mans.
