Sir Stirling Moss is one of the most famous racing drivers of the post-war era. He successfully drove sports cars and formula racing cars on many tracks around the world. Although he never became Formula 1 world champion, his name is inextricably linked with motorsport. His greatest success dates back to May 1, 1955, when the Mille Miglia was held in Italy. Due to the large number of participants (534 cars!), the starting procedure began as early as 9:00 p.m. on the evening of April 30. At one-minute intervals, the drivers set off on the approximately 1,000-mile route from Brescia to Rome and back. In fact, this race on public roads was officially part of the World Sports Car Championship at the time. Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson were members of the Mercedes-Benz works team. Like Juan Manuel Fangio, they sat in the brand-new 300 SLR with a three-liter V8 engine from the Formula 1 car of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n
