The author describes Moss's personality, his career, his family, and life outside the racing circuit.
Karl Ludvigsen has known Moss for more than 40 years. His text recreates the Moss origins and career with an insight that comes from a parallel life dedicated to cars an motorsprots. He adds to our understanding both of 'what makes Stirling run' and of the circumstances surrounding the crash at Goodwood in 1962. Ludvigsen's book will introduce an even wider circle of enthusiasts to a great sportsman whow says that he would like to mbe remembered 'for having contributed to motor racing not as a driver but as a person'. Both driver and person are very much present in these pages.
