STIRLING MOSS

I rate Stirling Moss as my all-time favorite driver, which may seem a little odd since he never won a World Drivers Championship, never won at Le Mans, Daytona or Indianapolis. Perhaps even stranger still because he had his bad accident and retired a couple years before I think I was old enough to know who he was. However, over the years I have come to appreciate that during his career, Sir Stirling as he is now known, was in his day, the fastest man in anything with four wheels. Moss had a great talent in any type of racing car, in extracting the very best out of that car and usually being the fastest at it! The machinery may have broke in the process, but Stirling Moss always was out giving 110%, often finishing well ahead of everyone else. That is why I believe him to be the best racing driver ever!
