The 1957 Australian Grand Prix at the Caversham circuit in Western Australia was one of the most controversial Grand Prix races ever held in Australia.
It was a contest between two of the titans of Australian motor sport in the 1950s – Stan Jones and Lex Davison. The three-litre Maserati versus the three-litre ex-F1 Ferrari of Lex and a 70 lap final in soaring 104-degree heat. These brave legends wrestling their cars around the circuit is testing conditions makes for a fascinating story. This is the story of the drivers, the race and the repercussions.
The result is still being debated today.
