1955 Mille Miglia by Michael Turner
Driving the fabulous 300SLR Mercedes, 25 year old Stirling Moss scored one of his greatest victories in the gruelling Mille Miglia of 1955. Partnered by Denis Jenkinson, whose pace notes helped to guide him round the treacherous 1000 mile course, Moss took the lead at Rome. He then proceeded to confound the tradition that he who leads at Rome never wins by racing on to a famous victory, the first ever by a Briton and in the fastest time ever recorded of 10 hours 7 minutes and 48 seconds, an average speed of 97.9mph.
Signed limited edition of 722 prints. Paper size 23 inches x 18 inches (58cm x 46cm). Price £115.00 Signed by Stirling Moss.

1955 Monaco Grand Prix by Bob Murray |
| The Intercontinental Formula
was first organised by British Racing Drivers Club to allow the racing of
cars with 2000cc to 3000cc engines. At the time the 1500cc limit of
Formula 1 had been instituted by the international ruling body in the
belief that the smaller cars would mean safer racing. In reality this
meant that the relatively easy to handle Formula 1 cars could be driven by
less experienced drivers almost as fast as the most experienced master
drivers. The result was that the car with fractionally more power was the
deciding factor in winning the race, rather than the better driver but
this also compromised track safety. The introduction of the
Intercontinental Formula was seen as more of a callenge for the drivers,
with the larger and more powerful cars requiring greater skill and
experience than to drive the 1500cc cars of Formula 1.
The 13th International Trophy on Saturday 6th May
1961 was the first race of the season to carry World Championship points
and consisted of 80 laps of Silverstone, a total of 233 miles.
Stirling Moss, having already won the International
Sports Car Race in a Lotus earlier that day, was driving Rob Walkers 2.5
litre Cooper Climax and qualified 2nd on the grid despite being unhappy
with the steering of his car. The starting grid front row was Bruce
McLaren, Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham and Graham Hill and by the time the
race started at 2.30pm a heavy rain meant that the track was not only
soaked but also covered in oil and rubber from the previous races.
World Champion Jack Brabham made a superb start,
passed Moss and was first into Copse and by lap 4 Moss was in 3rd place
led by Surtees and Brabham. Due to appalling conditions and poor
visibility many of the cars were spinning or leaving the track and by lap
13 Brabham and Moss were 1st and 2nd with the rest of the field some
distance behind. Moss now poured on the pressure and for the next few laps
he tried to pass as he harried Brabham in a duel for the lead. The pair
were now beginning to lap the tailenders and, at around a quarter of the
distance Moss was held up by Flockhart, Brabham's team member, who had
allowed Brabham to pass. Moss gestured angrily to Flockhart as he was
unable to follow Brabham and, as the rain paused for a while the pace
became faster.
Suddenly and quite dramatically Moss passed both
Flockhart and Brabham and within 2 laps had gained 5 seconds on the World
Champion. As the rain returned in a deluge Moss mercilessly pushed on,
increasing his lead to 1.5 minutes by the halfway mark. Although he could
have taken things easily at this point Moss drove on relentlessly at a
seemingly impossible pace and was now lapping most of the field for a
second time. By the ¾ stage he completed his humiliation of Brabham by
passing him for a second time to lap him representing a 3 mile lead. Moss
eventually won the race in 2hrs 41 mins 19.2 secs, 1.5 laps ahead of
Brabham and at least two laps ahead of the rest of the field in what were
treacherous conditions.
At the end of the race Moss summed up the experience
as a "nice ride", having proved himself to be one of the
greatest and fastest drivers in the world under any conditions. Sir
Stirling Moss believes this to be one of his finest ever drives. |
