För de som är bilintreserade så var fighterna mellan Caroll och Enzo mer eller mindre legendariska. |

In 1954, John Wyer, then team manager of Aston Martin, enlisted Shelby to run in both Sebring and Le Mans (co-driving with Paul Frere) in an Aston Martin DBR3.

His significant injuries wouldn't stop him from racing just months later at Sebring in a 3.0-liter Monza Ferrari (co-driving with Phil Hill) with his arm in a special cast and his hand taped to the steering wheel. There was no denying Shel was one tough son of a gun.

Tveklöst en legend som inspirerat många och även hjälpt många genom sitt engagemang för välgörenhet. Tänk om det fanns fler som honom. |
