The Cunningham C2-R, specially designed for Le Mans, boasted a permanent radio link via an aerial on its wing. However, the new technology could not prevent two of the three American cars from track incidents that prematurely ended their bid for Le Mans glory. However, Phil Walters and John Fitch in the third C2-R finished 18th overall and won their class.
