1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Sebring class victory car t-shirt

Celebrating the class victory of the Shelby Cobra 'Daytona' driven by Bob Bondurant and Jo Schlesser at the Sebring 12 hour race, so-called 'deluge' due to the torrential rain that drivers had to cope with during the event. 

Up tp 5 inches of rain fell in 30 minutes when a storm hit and up to 8 inches of water covered some areas of the track. However, despite the lack of visibility and some horrendous accidents, the race continued. 

The mechanics of the No.15 Shelby Daytona coupe had to drill holes in the floor to allow water to drain through, as so many cars struggles with water-filled cars and drowned electrics. Nevertheless, they managed to 'surf' their way through and as the rains eventually subsided, and finish 4th overall and 1st in the GT 5.0 class.

100% pre-shrunk t-shirt based on original artwork by Nicolas Hunziker and officially licensed by Carroll Shelby. Manufactured in the USA with water-based inks and made with a euro-size cut.
