Video: Onboard with Stirling Moss racing a Lotus Cortina at Goodwood

Moss is at the wheel of a Lotus Cortina in the St Mary’s Trophy. Although you cannot see him in full it’s clearly Stirling, the style – all elbows out, yet somehow casual – couldn’t be anyone else. The white gloves and open, peaked helmet are also very Moss.

And, despite this being filmed when Moss was well into his 70s, he clearly still had it; hustling his Cortina around the circuit with consummate ease. But he’s still a gentleman to the very last. As he passes another Cortina, following a much better run out of Lavant, he dispatches a cheery wave of thanks to his fellow competitor. 

We will not see his like again.
