Stirling Moss A Racing Life DVD - Description
"Should be in the DVD library of anyone who considers themselves a Formula One fan...worth getting just to watch Raymond Baxter" Motorsport
"Candid interview material and race footage covering Moss's 14-year racing career - and his busy life after competition" Autosport
Four fantastic films from the 1960s packed
with highlights of a racing life
Sir Stirling Moss is a true sporting
legend, a man whose exceptional skills and determined character saw him
overcome the odds again and again on his way to victory in motorsport’s most
famous events. Although never crowned Formula One World Champion, Moss is
rightly regarded as one of the greatest drivers ever.
In 1963, after recovering from an horrific
accident which nearly cost his life, Moss retired from racing. In our first
film from the BP archive, he talks openly about his career, cars, rivals and
leaving the sport which had been his life. In conversation with Raymond Baxter
at Goodwood - scene of his career-ending accident - he reflects on his time
with BRM, ERA, Maserati, Mercedes, Vanwall and Lotus, why he never raced for
Ferrari and what he thought about the other racing greats of the era. The
revealing interview is interspersed with archive race footage and photos.
From the emotional pain of losing the F1
World Championship by a single point to the physical pain of his awful
1962 crash, Moss speaks candidly about a life lived at full speed, including
the personal cost of racing and celebrity. We look inside his London home, and discover which of his more
than 450 races he considers the greatest.
In Moss on the Monte, he visits the 1967
Monte-Carlo Rally and explains how the sport works with input from greats like
Paddy Hopkirk. Moss - The First Ten Years is a fascinating retrospective
charting his career in archive footage from Grand Prix and sportscar racing,
including the legendary Le Mans
showdowns. Finally, Two Laps of Honour showcases his incredible skills at the Monaco and
European GPs of 1961, guiding his Rob Walker Lotus to unlikely wins ahead of
the all-conquering Ferraris.
"'Mr Motor Racing', now in his 80s, continues to enthrall and inspire wherever he (regularly) appears. This four-films-in-one compilation from the BP Video Library contains candid interview material and race footage covering Moss's 14-year racing career - and his busy life after competition" Autosport
