CARS: '58 Aston Martin DBR1 @ A700
April 26th 1959. Shelby joins 20 other drivers in various cars to test drive the new LeMans Circuit la Sarthe layout. While a non-championship race Aston Martin was giving out 3 brand new 1960 AM DB4s that would be released for the new year. Driving David Brown’s #6 DBR1 once again, this time Shelby was able to finish 5th. To celebrate this event, we do a cold qualifying lap in a bone stock 1960 AM DB4. Then we do a time trial in a sport tuned DB4 homologated to C450 class. Then we take our AM DBR1’s to all three LeMans layouts: Old Mulsanne, Bugatti Circuit and finally the new Sarthe Circuit (Old Mulsanne with a couple large chicane systems thrown in.

CAR: 1960 Porsche 718RS60 @ A650H
June 7th 1959. Carroll teams up with Wolfgang Seidel in Seidel’s #27 1959 Porsche 718RSK, a very powerful superlight race-built roadster for the “ADAC 1000KM RENNEN” at the Nürburgring Nordschliefe circuit. They started at 9 am and the race would go until 5:30pm at the latest. Unfortunately, Shelby and Seidel were not able to complete the event due to a combination of weather and mechanical issues. To celebrate this event, we take the 1960 Porsche 718RS60 (the closest car Forza offers) and do 5 laps in intermittent rain and 4 laps after dark. Can we manage to finish this difficult event?

CAR: 1960 Maserati Tipo Birdcage @ A650H
December 6th 1959. Shelby gets behind the wheel of team Camoradi USA’s #20 1960 Maserati Tipo in open class as the car was not a production model. 66 cars entered this 220 mile event. There was so much confusion due to so many crashes that the race officials could not keep track of how many cars actually finished the event. Shelby and Camoradi USA finished in 41st place, but at least they finished. Once again we use the Yas Marina track in Forza due to its similar layout to Oakes International road coarse and tackle the tough track in our very own Tipos homologated to A650 class.

CAR: '60 Porsche 718RS60
February 28th 1960, the start of a new year for Mr. Shelby. He sails out to Cuba with the Camoradi USA Racing Team and their 1960 Porsche 718. This brutal Havana road circuit proved too challenging for our competitors. Originally scheduled for 65 laps of a 5km run through the city, the race was shorted to 50 laps. Even then, only 19 or 37 cars finished. Sadly Mr. Shelby wasn’t one of them. To see if we can do better, we use Forza’s Rio De Janeiro National circuit in our 718’s and attempt 50 laps ourselves! Anyone who safely bails out early may do so and get last place at the cost of a championship point.

CAR: '61 Maserati Tipo @ A650H
March 26th 1960. Switching back to the #22 Maserati Tipo to compete in the 1960 “24 Hours of Sebring” for team Camoradi USA, Shelby tries his luck once again. What should have been a promising race as manufacterers Ferrari and Porsche both pulled out of the event due to not being allowed to use their own fuel. 89 cars distrubted amongst 12 different classes took to the track. Only 41 finished the race. Once again, Shelby wasn’t one of them.

CARS: '60 Maserati Tipo @ A650H
April 3rd 1960. Once again Shelby drives for Camoradi USA team in the Maserati Tipo this time badged as number 98. Not only did he win the the event, he kept the lead from laps 39 to 62, a whopping 23 laps in first place! Riverside is a complicated track with many turns and a long straight offering many chances to pass. It’s layout is extremely close to Sonoma except that Sonoma is about half the length, but is even more complicated due to many undulating turns and many elevation changes.

CARS: Tipo vs 718RS @ A650H
May 1st 1960. Mr. Shelby enters two cars in the Vaca Valley Sports Car Race. He loans his Maserati Tipo to Bob Drake who drives it under #49 and for himself drives the #98 Porsche 718. He may have wanted to switch cars as Drake won the day while Shelby finished 6th. To commemorate this event we take our favourite of the two cars and and take on 60 laps of a last car standing event on Forza’s CotA East circuit which has no pit stops. Heck it doesn’t even HAVE a pit!!

CAR: Multiclass Mix Up D-B-A-S
June 26th 1960. Shelby decimates the Denver Continental Divide International Race with a custom race car dubbed the Peter Brewery’s Chevrolet powered Scarab Mk2, rumoured to be a heavily modified Shelby Monaco. He had the fastest time-trial, led the most pole-position laps for the 100 mile race and of course, finished first place in his class. To commemorate this multi-class race, we take either Forza’s actual Shelby Monaco or one of the previous cars raced in this championship and take the Forza’s Maple Valley (also a mountain locale) in a long 90 minute race on this mid difficulty track.

July 26th 1960. Team Camoradi USA enters the 24 Heures du Man with two Maserati Tipos, Carroll Shelby in the #24A and Bob Drake in the #26 cars respectively. It rained all day Saturday and finally dried out on Sunday, but it was much too late… Out of 75 drivers starting the race only 25 would finish. Shelby and Drake not among them. Can we do any better in our 90 minute homage to this historic race?

October 23rd 1960. Mr. Shelby teams up with Frank Harrison with the Maserati Tipo completely retuned for two 100 mile races at treacherous Laguna Seca in Monteray California!! Despite the tracks difficulty it was a rather uneventful race. Shelby managed a 2nd place finish in his class, “Sports under 2000”. To show our appreciation we take on the same track for 90 minutes in our Tipos!

CAR: Shelby Cobra 427 @ B600R
February 3rd 1963. Having had to take a few years off for health reasons, Carroll had increased his stable of Shelby American drivers by adding a few members. In this Riverside race we see Ken Miles joining the team on a more permanent basis and giving what for in the Cobra 289cidroadster and coming finishing in a respectful 2nd place after adding some tuning choices to the car himself. Dave MacDonald meanwhile drove the same car as tuned by Carroll and managed to finish 1st.
Febrary 17th 1693. Two weeks later, the team takes on Daytona, this time with Skip Hudson joining MacDonald on the track with both cars tuned by Ken Miles. MacDonald finished 4th and Hudson in 23rd.
In order to replicate these events, we had to put a lobby enforced power-restriction on the Cobra tuned to B600 to make Forza’s 427cid Cobra behave like the 289cid. However since you can’t enforce a power restriction in Rivals mode, we used the Carrols Porsche 356A to do our qualifiers and time trials on both Sonoma (Riverside) and Daytona.
