  • Carroll Hall Shelby (January 11th 1923 - May 10th 2012) was an American racing driver and constructor, born in Leesburg, Texas. A former Formula One driver, Shelby entered eight World Championship races between 1958 and 1959, running for three teams in his time. Originally a chicken farmer, Shelby developed a passion for racing, and moved to Europe in 1954 to compete with Aston Martin at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, before attracting the attention of Scuderia Centro Sud in 1958. He would later become part of Aston Martin's ill-fated F1 campaign in 1959, the year in which he tasted victory at Le Mans with Roy Salvadori. Having called time on his racing career in 1960, Shelby went on to make a name for himself as a designer, helping to develop the AC Cobra, Ford GT40 and the long line of Cobra Mustangs from the mid-1960s. He was also a founding parter of Dan Gurney's Anglo American Racers team in F1 in the late 1960s.
