This was the first time that Carel was in an official Porsche works car. Carel started with Von Frankenberg and after Edgar Barth's own entry with Jean Behra retired he joined the other cars. One stint in Carel's car, which finished sixth, and a stint in the Harry Schell/Paul Frère car that finished seventh, which also meant a double Porsche victory in the class for sportscars up to 1500 cc.
Overall victory went to the Aston Martin of Stirling Moss and Jack Brabham, followed by no less than four Scuderia Ferrari Testa Rossas.
