Almost exactly 60 years ago, on May 28, 1961, Maserati scored a major race victory at the N\u00fcrburgring. The seventh edition of the 1000-kilometer endurance race on the Nordschleife was held there. Maserati had already won the previous year with the Tipo 60 ‘Birdcage’ and the driver pairing of Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney. Now the factory team returned to the Eifel with the significantly enhanced Tipo 61. Under the direction of technical director Giulio Alfieri, the frame chassis, which was composed of around 200 individual tube sections, had received significant modifications. Since some parts of the frame could be seen around the cockpit, the car in all of its five iterations got the nickname ‘Birdcage’ immediately after its debut.<\/p>\n\n\n
