He sustained a concussion when he spun off track at the Nürburgring during trial runs for a sports car race held in May 1957. His Ferrari was destroyed. It was the only one of its marque to be entered in the Grand Turismo car class of more than 1600 cc.〔''German Driver Injured In Sports Car Trials'', New York Times, May 26, 1957, Page S3.〕 Von Trips was forced out of a Royal Automobile Club Grand Prix at Silverstone, in July 1958, when his Ferrari came into the pits on the 60th lap with no oil.〔''Moss Forced Out In English Race'', New York Times, July 20, 1958, Page S9.〕 The following August he was 5th at Porto in the 1958 Portuguese Grand Prix.
