Many thanks Tomas !!!

[starlet]

Two more :

27.06.1954 - Circuit de Metz. 1° - Maserati A6GCS [2076]
22.07.1956 - GP Bari. DNF - Ferrari 857S [0584M/0578M]

So, a DNA for the Porto race in 1954 ?

[David McKinney]

The Ferrari 375 he drove in the 1955 Coupe de Paris was not a GP model, but Rosier's sportscar (albeit built on an ex-F1 chassis and with central-seat bodywork)

Some other dates:

1954
01/08 Rhineland Cup (OSCA 1500) - DNF (crashed)
19-23/11 Carrera Panamericana (Ferrari 750) - DNF

1955
20/08 Goodwood Nine Hours (Ferrari 750) - DNF
03/09 sportscar race Aintree (Ferrari 750) - DNF

1956
17/06 Oporto GP sportscar race (in addition to GT race) (Ferrari) - 1st
07/10 Coupe du Salon GT race (Ferrari 250GT) - 1st
21/10 GT race Rome (Ferrari 250GT) - 1st

I don't think so.
The 857 S or the 860 Monza - as the 750 Monza - used the same chassis, tipo 510.

So, if this is a real DNS, there is a problem with the date I gave for the Circuit de Metz race.
Can somebody supply it ? Jean-Maurice ?

... - Ferrari 625 [007]

Does everybody agree with this chassis number ?
Thanks for your opinons.

[GIGLEUX]

The Circuit de Metz was on 27/06/1954. De Portago had N°42.

27/06/1954 . GP Sport. Porto (P). DNS - Maserati A6GCS

So the DNS at Porto must be a DNA ???

[GIGLEUX]

625 [007] James Bond car? Personaly I have 625/7 and also 0540.

[starlet]

Rafa, you see what I meant for the Porto race.

Jean-Maurice, thanks for your answers.
For his personal 625, I have 625/7, 0540 and 55/1 !
Although, if I'm not mistaken, he raced with always the same car.
In order to have a definitive answer, it would be interesting to know the opinion of David, Doug, and others, please.

[David McKinney]

OK, I'll go first
I believe the de Portago 625, given customer c/no. 0540, may have been rebuilt from the private Tipo 500 No. 0208. De Portago may also have driven the 625 which had started out as 500/7, but this was subsequently given a different customer number (0712) so is certainly a different car.
I'm not a Ferrari expert, but haven't seen 625s given their own /1, /2, /3 etc numbers. Nor have I ever seen a 55/1 (etc) - though there was apparently a 54/1...

[jal43]

The Circuit de Metz was on 27/06/1954. De Portago had N°42.


Have you some picture about this race??
