As part of a series of archive Autosport articles celebrating 100 years of the Le Mans 24 Hours, here's 1960 winner Paul Frere's take on Ferrari's top Le Mans racers:
The 250 P was not one of the classics compared to the Testa Rossas, but that three-litre V12 was a fantastic engine, and it was the first mid-engined Ferrari to win [Le Mans].
Once the rear-engined grand prix cars worked, Ferrari was happy to change the sportscars as well, but he was always very conservative in adopting novel engineering ideas. It was Ferrari’s seventh win at Le Mans and, by now, the result seemed a foregone conclusion. Ferrari’s winning streak was only stopped by Aston Martin in 1959. Until Ford arrived, no one was able to challenge the Prancing Horse.
