Graham Hill / Richie Ginther -- Rover BRM Turbine  (1)

Hill and Ginther would have finished 8th if the Turbine Car was an official entrant.  LeMans was well known for peculiar regulations, and one of them excluded this car from the formal competition, hence its "00" number.   Comments?  Please email me!
 

(1-22-11)  From Ed Matsuishi:

"The car won a special prize that was given for the first turbine powered car to complete the race with at least a 200 km/hr average."
