I was lucky enough to be driven round the Goodwood circuit, as a 10 year old in 1959, by Roy Salvadori. We did three laps - an out lap an 'on it' lap and an in lap (no real difference in speed as I remember!) drifting around every corner. Extraordinary and a never to be forgotten memory as I write this over 60 years later!
Fantastic! I was fortunate enough to just talk to him between his stints in a 24-hour race in 1985. He autographed that classic photo of him drifting an Aston Martin around a right hander in a magazine race report. When I presented it, he said, "That's a popular one!"
That was my favorite part too, seeing Carol Shelby. Just think, doctors told him in 1960 he'd be dead by 1962 and couldn't drive. Well he got a heart transplant and drove wickedly until the day he died, including doing over 200mph in a production GT500, just weeks before dying.To people my age, Carol Shelby wasn't just a hero and legend but a true ICON.
anybody that drove those cars back then had more balls then any of us combined, bias ply tires, mostly drum brakes, riding on gas tanks and they went like hell with very little safety gear
Roy Salvadori was the principal driver in the '59 Le Mans race. Shelby always said "The year I won Le Mans" while Salvadori always said "The year Carrol Shelby and I won Le Mans". It says a lot about both men. They died within a few weeks of each other.
Absolutely stunning. Magnificent to look at and I'm sure equally magnificent to drive. With an fascinating history there's good reason to believe this car will set records when it hits the auction block next week. Petrolicious at it's best!
After the week I've just had, that was just the tonic I needed. Thank you Petrolicious. My Friday evening is better now. Have a great end to the week ROW
The racing cars from this period are strikingly beautiful. I remember seeing a Maserati "Birdcage" at Geneva motorshow, also very nice looking. That Aston Martin is indeed an embodiment of perfection, must be really good times driving it.
what a wonderfull video, great and fantastic job , im impress , the sensations are as im there driving, thanks is a great job to editors camera and all the team .
To be fair I think most people would agree That Sir Stirling's greatest victory was the 1955 Mille Miglia in the equally beautiful Mercedes 300 SLR.. Taking nothing away from his win at Nurburgring, he was after all the best sports car racer of the time, probably of all time!
If you ever want to get close to one of these and you’re on the east coast of the US, Dr.Simeone has one in his museum in Philadelphia. It is an absolutely stunning car and probably my favorite (tied with the Cobra Daytona and GT40’s) at Dr.Someone’s museum.
As usual, a great document from Petrolicious ! BUT, sorry to say, the music is much, much too loud. We cannot hear the comments! Too late to turn it down a bit ??
Thank you. Well done, as usual... beautiful car, beautiful presentation, beautiful setting, lovely use of period film footage with contemporary video. But the product leaves me a little emotionally flat... the narrator gives an excellent and energetic survey of Aston Martin racing history.. I'm glad the introduction comes right up front, Steve has great 'news reporter' delivery and personality - but I think I prefer your productions with the owner's personal touch, and a car like this might deserve to be filmed in its 'native' environment. I am nonetheless grateful for the work you share.. a brilliant car with in-depth background.
The DBR1 is a beautifully balanced, elegant and understated sportscar. It looks as though it could win Le Mans while driver and passenger dine on game pie and scrumpy from a picnic basket 😂
I'm glad I found this; actually, it somehow found me; but, anyways, I was watching some Ferrari answer to the GT-40. I can't wait to go through and learn what I can from all kinds of cars that were before my time, and that I haven't learned about. I mean I'm amazed at all the classic cars on the road my dad can tell you what it is. My dad's father raced this for the Southern California sports car series before it went bye bye. I think it was mostly a 1950s racing series. He also raced Lotus7's, and Ferrari TestaRosas.
My Mum's best friend used to live on the same estate as the Moss family in East Grinstead. Apparently Uncle Sterling would come down on the weekends and visit his nephews and nieces, said my Mum's friend.

Films like this make my heart ache. The aesthetics, the sound, the history - everything about this car is special. So, so amazing.
Not to take anything from Sterling they forgot to mention a little old chicken farmer from Texas won some races in this car
mzondi1970 "...who took nitro glycerine pills to keep his heart going."
mzondi1970 They have to make sure their bigoted little anglo racers are put ahead of everyone else.

Thanks once again for making me crave something I can't have!
so true
This whole Petrolicious thing is very painful to watch.. I would own every car they're ever made a video on!
My thoughts exactly. My wife's new Honda Jazz doesn't appeal as much anymore.😜
Sure you can, it's for sale!
You can buy one, but they're very expensive
Sir Stirling Moss.... when the word is bandied about so carelessly, Stirling is the real thing - a bona fide racing 'legend'.
Now this car is a dream... well done...!
This was the car I salivated over when I was 11 or 12 years old - and is still probably my all-time favourite sports racing car.
Fantastic!
Was fortunate enough to behold DBR1/3 in the metal and it literally took my breath away. Stunning doesn't begin to describe these cars.
It is an amazing car....but you can't take anything away from Sir Sterling Moss......he is absolutely fearless behind the wheel of any car....
Production of these videos are immaculate!!! Another story well told and preserved. Thank you!!!
even before the video started, I liked just simply Aston Martin.
shreyash tannu i
Your INCOMPETENCE knows no bounds.......
This beautiful car and that story about Stirling Moss's drive to finish first gave me goosebumps
Magnificent car.
Gorgeous video.
Best in class filming & editing.
You've done it once again Petrolicious. Stunning!
greetings from Germany
Side profile on this car makes your heart ache at the thought that something so beautiful will never be made again
man I swear...every video on this channel is pure artwork. Thanks for another AWESOME car vid.
Fantastic car and story including the irreplaceable legend that is Sir Sterling moss bravo!!
Absolutely stunning. Magnificent to look at and I'm sure equally magnificent to drive. With an fascinating history there's good reason to believe this car will set records when it hits the auction block next week. Petrolicious at it's best!
one of the most beautiful cars ever made
For one more time you have created a masterpiece. Hats off for your video and the excellent presentation of the story.
All the old race cars are definitely my favorites of what you film.
After the week I've just had, that was just the tonic I needed. Thank you Petrolicious. My Friday evening is better now. Have a great end to the week ROW
that is an driving artwork one of the top 6 most beautiful cars for sure
Finally a video only about cars! No side stories about the owners job etc, great stuff!
wow, the sound of that thing is extraordinary
From 3rd gear to 2nd with a squeak. I like it.
That body shape is one of the all time greats!
Another EPIC video!!!! And it was made even better by the clip of Carol Shelby winning at Le Mans.
Yeah but... nice to show a couple of seconds of him, but to not speak his name?

Beautifully shot as always. You should have that gentleman back, very entertaining character, and a knowledgeable chap

Its sooooo beautiful! Thank you Petrolicious, you've done it again!
I love watching these videos. I didn't know this car existed.
I love the shape of the racing cars from this era...reminds me of the old Speed Racer cartoons I loved as a kid
Normaly I like italian race cars the most, but this DBR1 is just a stunning beautiful and perfectly ingeriered machine!
Many thanks for sharing with us all this Absolutely gorgeous & incredible Aston Martin DBR1
All Petrolicious Films are great, but this one is the best, with one of the best cars ever built! Thank you!
HOW is it one of the best ever built??? Details, please!!!!
What a beautiful car and a great story behind it. It's so gorgeous!
LeMans is still the best race in the world! The best cars in history were built for LeMans.
What a beautiful car; I think I'm in love. What a sound, too.
Moss and Aston Martin. A team will never be beat
Barely a mechanical fact but he did tell us it made him confident... that was precise journalism at its best.
Splendid!!! Will definitely watch this one a few times....
I think I am falling in love with this channel. May god bless you for your work!
The most beautiful car EVER!!!!
what a wonderfull video, great and fantastic job , im impress , the sensations are as im there driving, thanks is a great job to editors camera and all the team .
Gorgeous car, the angles it was filmed at are just brilliant, bravo!
Now they have the AMR Vulcan....progress truly is an amazing thing to behold
Great story! That car is incredibly beautiful. It really looks the part!
I just thought I WANT MORE OF THIS at the end of the video... Great as always!
Superb little video Petrolicious, one of your best!
I'm in love.
this is a very beautiful car. the lines on the body are very nice.
To be fair I think most people would agree That Sir Stirling's greatest victory was the 1955 Mille Miglia in the equally beautiful Mercedes 300 SLR.. Taking nothing away from his win at Nurburgring, he was after all the best sports car racer of the time, probably of all time!
Yet another chapter in the legend that is Sir Stirling Moss.
This video takes the channel to another level! The mixing in of the old timey radio broadcast was great!
If you ever want to get close to one of these and you’re on the east coast of the US, Dr.Simeone has one in his museum in Philadelphia. It is an absolutely stunning car and probably my favorite (tied with the Cobra Daytona and GT40’s) at Dr.Someone’s museum.
This is one of those rare Aston Martins u NEVER SEE ON THE ROADS . perfect
This is a proper racing car
No high tech tat
Just a wheel, a body, a set of wheels and a beautiful 3.0L straight six by British Engineers
this is a gorgeous ride. absolutely lovely.
As usual, a great document from Petrolicious ! BUT, sorry to say, the music is much, much too loud. We cannot hear the comments! Too late to turn it down a bit ??
What a beautiful car. From racings golden era.
Beautiful car and a Beautiful video, Thankyou.
great car,,,I miss those days....
What a car....can't hit the like button hard enough or more times
That is such a beautiful car

Wow beautiful car. Imagine doing 175 in that lil thing. Sheesh!
I believe one of the drivers of the LeMans winning car in 59 was one Carroll Shelby
yet another top notch video. Great job guys
What an incredible car.. WOW!
Beautiful automobile 💖
Gorgeous.
The DBR1 is a beautifully balanced, elegant and understated sportscar. It looks as though it could win Le Mans while driver and passenger dine on game pie and scrumpy from a picnic basket 😂
Stunning, just stunning.....
Great video...again. I may not always favor the cars that you choose, but I always appreciate the quality of your work.
only channel on YT i can like before i watch the video! like allways top!
This video gave me chills!
Another superb video of a great car.. Well done Petrolicious!
Beautiful car with a great history.. hence the 22.5m!! Hard to believe it is a 1959 car!!
I'm glad I found this; actually, it somehow found me; but, anyways, I was watching some Ferrari answer to the GT-40.
I can't wait to go through and learn what I can from all kinds of cars that were before my time, and that I haven't learned about. I mean I'm amazed at all the classic cars on the road my dad can tell you what it is.

Such a beautiful car, so fast.
So fresh and so clean clean
Absolutely beautiful.
Amazing. Hope some day I could achieve the cinematography quality
Exquisite example!
Awesome look and sound.
Excellent Video... Phenomenal piece of Automotive Artwork... please turn the audio down by about half, it's drowning out the narration.
somebody should make cars like that using todays regular car parts so they could sell them cheaply....its beautiful
Way to hype it up before auction.
This guy gets it
Yeah, I don't need more people trying to outbid me dang it.
Like this car needs it?
can't believe it got sold for over 22M.
Yeah, way to go. No sarcasm on my end, don't know what you meant! It's smart...lol
Excellent!
Such a beautiful thing...
20 Million was a bit Out of budget!
perfect as always, thanks, team!!
That's our Brett driving DBR1/1 there 😊
There is no art in the world that comes close the beauty of these machines.
"appointment with a checkered flag"
Just beautiful!
what a beautiful car...
Beauty!
3:08 It's Carrol Shelby!
Such a beauty !!!!
