Briggs Cunningham returned to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1960 after a five-year hiatus. He didn't participate in one of his own creations, but in a Corvette C1 instead. Though the owner-driver, in the #1 car, was forced to retire, like two other Vettes at the start, the #3 C1 driven by John Fitch and Bob Grossman crossed the finish line in eighth place overall and graced the 4000-5000cm3 class with the inimitable sound of its beastly V8 engine.
