Best known for his extraordinary skills at the wheel of racing
cars, Stirling Moss was also an extremely effective rally driver.
He entered many rallies from the early 1950s on, usually achieving
top ten results in a variety of makes, initially Sunbeam-Talbot and
in later years Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Saab. He
very nearly won the Monte Carlo Rally at his first attempt in 1952,
losing only narrowly to Sydney Allard, and then went on to join the
exclusive club of rally drivers who won a coveted Coupe d'Or on the
Alpine Rally, one of the toughest events in the calendar. His
contribution to pace notes, based on the technique used in his
astounding Mille Miglia win with Denis Jenkinson, is told here,
together with his abortive attempt at the East African Safari Rally
with his brother- in-law, Eric Carlsson. Africa was not kind to
Moss - he nearly died on another rally when stranded in a remote
part of the Sahara Desert and was lucky to be rescued. The cars he
drove, the teams, the co-drivers, all are covered in this record of
the amazing and often overlooked rally driving career of the
legendary Stirling Moss.
