THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD GRIEVES STIRLING MOSS
"Rapidity, the first born of the stretched arch called life" ( Gabriele D'Annunzio,Laudi)
The poet's verse is perfectly suited to the extraordinary personality of the legendary English pilot, who dedicates his long life to racing with extreme boldness. He piloted the most powerful competition machines, Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes, Lotus, Cooper. He disappeared at the age of 90, but competed up to 81. In his long career he faced 529 races and won 212 of each category along the most arduous courses, Mille Miglia, Goodwood, where he was seriously injured (1962), Nurburgring, Targa Florio.. In 2011 I took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans Classic with vintage cars. He finished 4 times in 2nd place in Formula 1, from 1951 to 1961, in competition with the gratest automotive champions in the world. In the 1955 Mm he set the absolute record on the Mercedes 300 SRL.
He won 16 Grand Prix in 1959, Stirling Moss was awarded the prestigious honor of the Order of the British Empire for sporting merits. The passion for speed was his genius, the "demon" who made his life exceptional.
