In this thrilling photograph from the 1959 World Championship for Makes at Goodwood Circuit, we find racing legends Stirling Moss and Roy Salvadori behind the wheels of the powerful and iconic Aston Martin DBR1/300. The Tourist Trophy race, held on September 5, 1959, was a pivotal moment in the motorsport history, with the Aston Martin team dominating the competition. Moss, a six-time Grand Prix winner and three-time Le Mans victor, is shown expertly maneuvering the DBR1/300 through a high-speed turn, displaying an impressive amount of oversteer. Salvadori, a formidable racer in his own right, can be seen following closely behind, ready to capitalize on any opportunity.
