The drivers who made motor racing what it is — and the stories on Historic Racer that bring them back to life.
Sixteen Grand Prix victories, the 1955 Mille Miglia won at an average of almost 98mph, and never the world title his talent deserved. Sir Stirling Moss raced anything, anywhere, and made every one of them look easy. Our stories of the man, his cars and the day he came to Donington.
Five World Championships between 1951 and 1957, won for Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Maserati — a record that stood for 46 years. El Maestro’s cars still race today: here are the ones we have seen, and the circuits he won on.
Three World Championships, 65 pole positions and six wins at Monaco. Few drivers have ever been as fast over a single lap, and none have been remembered with quite the same intensity. Our memories of Senna, his laps and the things he left behind.
World Champion in 1963 and 1965, winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 1965, and the driver every one of his rivals measured themselves against. From the Lotus 25 to the Lotus Cortina, the cars and the people keeping the Jim Clark story alive.
The 1976 World Championship, won by a single point at a rain-soaked Mount Fuji after a season-long duel with Niki Lauda. Hunt raced like he lived — flat out — and the McLaren M23 still draws a crowd wherever it appears.
