In the pits the brakes were bled for safety and the reservoir topped off. An obscure pre-war Le Mans rule stipulated that no fluids (oil, water etc...) could be added until at least 28 laps were completed. This highly dangerous rule was protested by Ferrari and, for the 1954 race, thrown out. However with the 1953 race over, there was nothing Ferrari could do.   53 - All three 375MM Berlinettas were returned to the Pinin Farina workshops where the nose of each car was reworked and given covered headlights for better high speed penetration. The rear glass area was also extensively reworked with a much smaller rear window being fitted.   53/jul/25 dnf 24h Spa Alberto Ascari/ Luigi Villoresi #8 Delsaux p93 53/aug/09 dnf Senigallia Luigi Villoresi     53/aug/16 1st 12h Pescara Mike Hawthorn/ Umberto Maglioli #28   53/sep/18 - Assembly Data Sheets identify that on this date the engine and gearbox were overhauled and new drum brakes fitted by mechanic Walter Sghedoni and supervised by foreman Franchini   53/oct/07 - Certificato d’Origine, No. 0354 was issued and dated for 0320AM   53/nov/19 6th Carrera Panamericana Mario Ricci/ Forese Salviati/ Umberto Maglioli #23 HMRR p90 CPM p274 #23 FEO p354, ... 53/dec 1st Circuit of Guadeloupe Umberto Maglioli     5. - Luigi Chinetti, NY, NY, USA 55 - Mark & Louise Schellenberg, Denver, CO, USA 56 dns La Junta airport race Mark Schellenberg 57 - a woman crashed into the nose of the car on Monaco Boulevard in Denver, hence a new nose was made.
