The 1955 edition of the 24 Heures du Mans are of course most infamous for the horrendous accident with Pierre Levegh's Mercedes.

The race was won by Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb in their Jaguar D-Type (S/N XKD505) with a total of 307 laps to their name.

The event was equally dramatic for Ferrari as NONE of the 5 entered cars made it to the finish...

The following Ferrari's were entered:

• # 5 - S/N 0546LM - Ferrari 121 LM Scaglietti - Maurice Trintignant / Harry Schell - 107 Laps - Clutch
• # 12 - S/N 0440M - Ferrari 750 Monza - Helde / Jean Lucas - 104 Laps - Distributor
• # 3 - S/N 0558LM - Ferrari 121 LM Scaglietti - Umberto Maglioli / Phil Hill - 76 Laps - Clutch
• # 4 - S/N 0532LM - Ferrari 121 LM - Eugenio Castellotti / Paolo Marzotto - 52 Laps - Engine
• # 14 - S/N 0504M - Ferrari 750 Monza - Mike Sparken / Masten Gregory - 22 Laps - Engine
