Gold Star Daytona. 1956 DBD34 Gold Star DaytonaIn 1954, BSA wanted to win the prestigious race. During the 1950s, the race was run partly on asphalt and partly on the beach at. A team of works prepared Gold Stars and were entered. The race was won by a Shooting Star with a Gold Star in 3rd place.

A replica of the works Gold Star was offered to the public. The specification included a rigid frame, which saved 50lbs over the swinging-arm frame. Engine modifications included using a 350cc head, which had a better downdraught angle, machined to 500cc dimensions and fitted with a large inlet valve.

Modifications included a larger fuel tank, an air scoop on the front brake and a 19' front wheel.BSA distributor, Hap Alzina, persuaded the factory to produce a replica named after the race.

The Gold Star Catalina was manufactured from 1959 to 1963. End of production Towards the end the Gold Star was only offered in scrambles, or Clubmans trim. In 1963 ceased to produce the magneto used in the B series, and that line of singles was ended. The demise of the Lucas magneto was a prime reason that BSA and Triumph reconfigured their pre-unit-construction into engines with integral gearboxes, simultaneously converting the ignition system from magneto to battery & coil. The Gold Star was not considered for progression to unit-construction, and instead the 250 cc was developed (via the B40) into the 500 cc. Although the B50 never attained the kudos of the DBD34, a B50 fielded by once held the class lap record in the Production, as well as gaining results at the 24-hour endurance races the Le Mans and at the in.
