The first postwar "Grand Prix" (a sports car event) was held in August 1955, only a few months after the Le Mans tragedy. 75,000 spectators surrounded the -long Råbelöv circuit, located near Kristianstad. It was the debut of the Mercedes 300SLR (entered for Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss). Other entrants included Peter Collins and Roy Salvadori (the works Aston Martin DB3Ss), Eugenio Castellotti (the sole works Ferrari 735 LM), and the works Maserati 300S of Jean Behra.
