Triumph TR3 Racing

How the works team took TR3s through the Alps and round Sebring, and to Le Mans with the TR3S, from 1956 to 1959, how seven students ran one for four days at Monza, and how the car fared in American club racing: the record, with the results below.

On the 1956 Alpine Rally the works TR3s won five Coupes des Alpes and the team prize. Over the next four seasons Standard-Triumph's small competition department took the car to the Monte Carlo, Tulip, Liège and RAC rallies, to Sebring in Florida, where TR3s won their class in 1957, and in 1959 to Le Mans with three twin-cam TR3S cars. That July a TR3A in the hands of Cambridge students took eight international records at Monza. In America, owners raced their cars in club events, and some drove the same cars to work.

From 1960, Standard-Triumph said in 1962, its own racing went into the TRS cars at Le Mans, and from 1962 its works team ran TR4s. The results at the foot of the page give each entry, event by event.⁠1​2​3​4​5

The works team

The works team was Ken Richardson's. When Motor Sport called at Canley in the spring of 1957, three of his TR3s were there for the Tulip Rally, in "a very tasteful shade of green", and the magazine noted how he chose his cars:

… apart from Standard Tens facing the R.A.C. Rally of the Tests, Richardson prefers to enter virtually catalogue motor cars.

Motor Sport, May 1957

His rally TR3s were closed cars, for a reason the hard-top page gives. In January 1958 the American newsletter announced that Richardson would come over from England again to run the Sebring team, and that December it named him the factory's competitions manager when it reported his five-car team for the 1959 Monte Carlo Rally; by then he had a chief mechanic, Ben Warwick. The drivers are on the people page.⁠6​7​8​9

Rallies, 1956–57

Six works cars were entered for the Alpine Rally of July 1956, The Autocar reported, as Paul Richardson quotes it. Five of them won Coupes des Alpes, took the first five places in their class and won the manufacturers' team prize; the sixth, Richardson's own car with Heathcote, retired when a rear wheel came off. Of 79 starters, 34 finished and 17 won Coupes. The American newsletter wrote:

If there ever was a competition to make the Triumph owner proud of his car, this year's Alpine Rally was it!

TSOA Newsletter, July 1956

In 1957 TR3s took 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th places in the GT class of the Tulip Rally, and on the Liège–Rome–Liège the team finished 3rd, 5th and 9th overall, the 3rd-placed car the highest-placed British car, and won the team prize. The newsletter noted that the only cars ahead of the first Triumph were a Porsche Carrera Speedster and a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, and invited its readers to compare their prices. That year Annie Soisbault won the Coupe des Dames on the Tour de France, the American newsletter later recorded, though it did not name her car.

Rallies, 1958–60

Four works TR3s were announced for the Monte Carlo Rally of January 1958, and Maurice Gatsonides and Marcel Becquart won their class and finished 6th overall, among 28 finishers from 343 starters. In April the TRs took six of the first seven places on the Circuit of Ireland, and on the Tulip they filled five of the seven places in the GT class, Annie Soisbault 3rd overall.

The 1958 Alpine Rally brought the TR3 one more Coupe des Alpes. Keith Ballisat and Alain Bertaut won it and their class, finished 4th overall and set the fastest time up the Stelvio; Desmond Titterington and Brian McCaldin were 2nd in the class and 8th overall. The field is counted two ways: 58 starters and 25 finishers by the American newsletter, and 55 entries, of which 23 completed the route, by Motor Sport's report; the magazine's review of Shell's film of the rally also counts 55 starters. The film's commentator puts it plainly: "Britain's first cup this year to Ballisat and Bertaut with their Triumph TR3".

In 1959 TR3s took the first nine places in their class on the Tulip Rally, with Ballisat and Marvin 2nd overall, and on the Alpine the newsletter reported class wins "for the third consecutive year", one of them in the GT class above 2,000 cc for cars with oversize cylinder sleeves. Soisbault and Renée Wagner won their class and the Coupe des Dames on the Liège–Rome–Liège, 6th overall, and on the RAC Rally that November Soisbault's TR3A was in the Triumph team that took the first manufacturers' team award. In 1960 TR3s were the first five in their class on the Tulip Rally, and the factory later listed a class win on that year's Alpine.⁠13​7​17​16​18​19​20​21​22​23​24​25​26​27

Races: Sebring, the Mille Miglia and Le Mans

TR3s raced in the great road races from the start. In the 1956 Mille Miglia Fauvel and Laine were 2nd in the 2,000 cc production class, 94th overall, and at the Reims 12 Hours that summer a TR3 was 4th in its class. In the 1957 Mille Miglia Giraud and Le Cornu were 5th in the GT class up to 2,000 cc; Nancy Mitchell's works hard-top retired with a radiator failure; and Joseph Göttgens died in an accident at the wheel of another TR3. That year Triumphs also took the first six places among the production sports cars in the Grand Prix des Frontières at Chimay.

At Sebring in March 1957 TR3s won the GT class up to 2,000 cc: Bob Oker and Ed Pennybacker were 1st in the class and 19th overall, and Mike Rothschild's car 2nd; Oker, the newsletter said, drove for 11 hours without a break. The factory made posters of the result, Motor Sport saw. In 1958 they were 2nd, 3rd and 5th in the class, in 1959 6th, and in 1961 a TR3 that had covered more than 64,000 km (40,000 miles) as a field car for Genser-Forman, the Triumph distributor, and was driven to Sebring and home again, was 5th in the class.

The works team's one race at Le Mans with the TR3 family came in 1959, and none of its three TR3S cars finished; the TR3S page tells the story.⁠28​29​30​6​2​7​12​31​32​33​34​35

The Monza records, July 1959

In the last week of July 1959 seven members of the Cambridge University Automobile Club took a TR3A to the banked track at Monza and drove it for four days, under the eye of the Automobile Club of Italy. They took eight International Class E records, for cars of 1,500 to 2,000 cc, among them these, by the American newsletter's figures:

RecordSpeedThe record before
2,000 miles102.1 mph100.39 mph
5,000 km102.5 mph96.66 mph
5,000 miles102.5 mph94.73 mph
10,000 km102.6 mph80.98 mph

The newsletter added that four different cars had held them before.

The car used was a stock TR-3 and all the student-drivers were amateurs.

TSOA Newsletter, August 1959

Paul Richardson records the car as TR3A XHP 259. One of the students, Gerry Boxall, was reserve driver for the works team at Le Mans in 1960.⁠4​11​26

In America

In the United States the TR3 was a club racer's car, and a winning one. At one race in the South late in 1957, the American newsletter reported, the TRs had been moved up to D Production, to run against the Austin-Healey 100Ms. Kas Kastner raced a TR3, and in February 1960 the newsletter reported that he had won the Pacific Coast Class E Championship, the California Sports Car Club championship and the Motoracing West Coast points championship for 1959:

As is so often the case, Kas drives his winning TR-3 back and forth to work and to and from the race course, …

TSOA Newsletter, February 1960

In 1961 the best Triumph driver in the national E Production points was William Gurnee, 6th in a TR3. In 1962 Bob Tullius won the SCCA's national E Production title, mainly in a TR4, though he raced a TR3 at Bridgehampton that June. By then Standard-Triumph was paying expenses to the most successful Triumph drivers in national and divisional races, with a competition bulletin written by Kastner, but it had told owners in December 1961 that its interest lay with the new TR4.⁠7​4​36​37​38​5​27​39
