| 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. |

the 2nd "Pacific Grand Prix" on October 22,1961.
In this photo he climbs

the inaugural race on October 23, 1960, in the same car. |
