Sir Stirling Moss
was a standout in English club racing
in the years following World War II. In the early 1950s he began
competing on the European continent as well.
In 1954-55 he joined Juan Manuel Fangio
on the all-conquering
Mercedes-Benz
team. Moss backed up the Argentinian in his two championship years
with Mercedes-Benz and won the 1955 Mille Miglia outright for the German
team.
He went on to an illustrious F1 career,
well-covered on his Personal Site. |
Moss won both heats of the 2nd "Pacific
Grand Prix" on October 22,1961.
In this photo he climbs the hill in the
2.5 liter Climax-powered UDT-Laystall entered Lotus Mk.19.
Moss also won
the inaugural race on October 23, 1960, in the same car. |
