Maserati 250F, chassis 2529
Chuck’s next event was also USAC sanctioned, a 3-heat Formula Libre race at Lime Rock in July 1959. Lucky Casner’s CAMORADI team had entered a 1957 Maserati 250F, acquired by Casner from Joakim Bonnier that summer. It was the very car in which Juan Manuel Fangio had won the 1957 German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, while Bonnier had captured the 1958 Watkins Glen Formula Libre race with it.
