The life of Sir Stirling Moss, who passed away on 12 April 2020 aged 90, will be remembered at Goodwood’s events in 2021.
Nicknamed ‘Mr Goodwood’, Moss won his first single-seater race at the Sussex circuit, at the first Goodwood meeting in 1948, and 62 years on was still racing at the Revival.
This year’s Revival, on 17-19 September, will see one of the biggest-ever gatherings of Moss’ competition cars.
The Mercedes-Benz 300SLR ‘722’ in which Moss and Denis Jenkinson won the Mille Miglia 66 years ago this weekend will be joined by, among others, Moss’ Monaco- and Nürburgring-winning Lotus 18, the Aston Martin DB3S in which he finished second at Le Mans, and the Rob Walker Racing Ferrari 250GT SWB in which he claimed his last Goodwood win, in 1961’s Tourist Trophy.
The DB3S and other former Moss steeds, such as the DBR1 he drove to victory at the Nürburgring 1000km, his Reims-winning Jaguar C-type and Cooper T49, and the Ferguson P99 four-wheel-drive Grand Prix car in which Moss won the International Gold Cup in 1961, will also be campaigned at this year’s Revival, and look out for the second running of the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy.
