The Jaguar factory team withdrew from competition at the end of 1956. Five Jaguar D Types were entered by Privateer teams in 1957 and not only did they all finish the race, but they came home 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th.
The Jaguar D Type - jaw droppingly beautiful to look at - music to the ears from that fuel injected straight six and a true racing legend which should definitely be added to Gran Turismo.
