==More racing success==
Deutsch's very efficient and influential aerodynamic designs allowed DB race cars to reach impressive top speeds despite the small Panhard [[flat-twin]] engine. DB's received class victories at Le Mans (three times), [[12 Hours of Sebring|Sebring]] (twice), and Mille Miglia (four times).<ref name=scimp/> DB even managed an outright win in the [[Handicapping|handicapped]] 1954 [[RAC Tourist Trophy|Tourist Trophy]] sports car race, with Laureau and Armagnac driving.<ref name="A-Z"/><ref>{{citation | title = Motorcade: A dictionary of motoring history | first = Maurice A. | last = Hammond | publisher = G.

The Index of Performance is perhaps best known at the Le Mans 24 hours competition, but the category also existed at many French automobile races of the era, such as the Tour de France. DBs were also successful in American [[Sports Car Club of America|SCCA]] racing, where they racked up an impressive number of victories in the H-sports category.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.sportscardigest.com/deutsch-bonnet-panhard-car-profile/ | work = Sports Car Digest | first = Greg | last = Wing | title = Deutsch-Bonnet Panhard – Car Profile | date = 2008-12-16 | publisher = Off Camber Group }}</ref>
