Description

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.

Author Biography:

Vic Quayle started a lifelong interest in rallying in his early teens when watching films of the Monte Carlo and Alpine Rallies that were broadcast on television to test the new BBC2 channel. He joined a motor club on getting his first car, an Austin A30, and competed over the coming years, moving on to a variety of Ford Escorts, mainly in road rallies at regional level, but also a few stage events. Like so many British rally fans, every November he would load up the car with mates and spend a week trekking around the country watching the RAC Rally - when it was a proper rally! One year, he even ventured to the Alps to watch the Alpine Rally. Stirling Moss - Rally Driver is Vic's third book.
