Fast is always to know the exact route of the road to drive he knew how to win, yes, before the race had. Tips from the paper roll, the road book to me a very reliable passenger, Denis Jenkinson took so.
In 1948, at the age of 19, leaves, Moss just a few years ago the first race and fourth in the row is located. Dentists in their genes: father, Alfred Moss, in fact, his mother and became in the 1930s and 1920s in motorsport, Aileen, and her sister, Pat takes on the role of the 1950s and 1960s, with the success of the rallies, sports car racing and motorsport has passion.

It will be a great victory Moss. Every time a thought had driven the race, today is the day, today I’m risking my life, “he says.” The car is everything he says – sometimes with a battered car to finish, but it sounds like a winner.
When Mercedes-Benz pulls after a very successful season in 1955, from the world of motorsport, Moss, open the cockpit of all major brands. In later years, once again, a variety of shows, tools, Vanwall, Cooper, Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lotus and B. R. M. each season using a format he was using worldwide. However, the British never won the Formula 1 World Championship. But Moss, safe in other years, 1955, such as Mercedes, Benz president in 1956 and 1957 World Champion title, behind Juan Manuel Fangio in 1958 and was again a private citizen Mike Hawthorn behind him. The drivers ‘ championship in third place in 1959, 1961 brings.

Moss also is considered to be a pioneer in the professionalization of Motor Sports: starting in 1949, a manager, regulates commercial interests. When most racers get their maintenance commitments and fees that are an absolute novelty. Since the middle of the 1960s, without the driver manager occurs. The team work in a different way than before, and, for example, are linked more closely with our advertising partners.
Game at the end of the day, Moss continues to be a big share of historic race and rally events, motor sports and often participated in.
