Description

Throughout his life, Stirling Moss was called the man who made the impossible, possible. This Demo Day will examine his life and legacy. Throughout his life, Stirling Moss was called the man who made the impossible, possible. In just a seven-year period between 1955 and 1961 Moss would finish the World Championship as a runner-up on four occasions, and in third place three other times. In his 14 year racing career, Moss would notch 212 victories out of 529 races entered, equaling an astonishing 40% win rate. However, despite this incredible record, Moss would leave the sport of racing, having never been a world-champion, despite the fact that he might have given the opportunity. Join us as we take a closer look at this legendary figure in racing and recount his successes both on, and off the track.
