Best of Show went to the 1961 250 TR/61 entry of Scuderia N.E. as did the People’s Choice Award. Yes, car # 10 is well known to the Tifosi. It is the very same Ferrari factory prototype car which Phil Hill drove to a 1st place in the 1961 24 Hours of Le Mans race in the same year that Hill also became the first USA racer to win the Formula 1 World Driving Championship! Unlike today, in those days, racing drivers were well rounded and raced anything on two and four wheels.
