If I recall correctly (always an iffy proposition), one of the announcers
mentioned that the DBR1 in question has already been re-bodied twice.

Which, of course, is no excuse for ol' Stirling coming a cropper in the
first turn . . .

I really enjoyed the five hours of coverage, although I wish that more
attention had been paid to showing some footage of all the cars in the race,
rather than focusing primarily on the leaders.
