CAMORADI—an acronym for Casner Motor Racing Division—was formed by Lloyd “Lucky” Casner in late 1959. The intention was to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans using the Maserati Tipo 61, also known as the “Birdcage” due to its intricate tubular space-frame chassis. While victory at Le Mans eluded the team, Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney scored an overall victory at the 1960 Nürburgring 1,000 Kms. A feat that CAMORADI USA repeated the following year.
