Martini & Rossi presents the Stirling Moss Competition Driving Lesson

Driving Position

The driving position is a very personal matter and one which you must work out for yourself. The main thing is to be comfortable and to have all the essential controls within easy reach.

The current practice on single-seater racing cars is to use a reclining seat with the steering wheel more or less upright and at arm’s length. It should be possible to adjust the position and rake of the seat to suit the majority of drivers.

The seat should give lateral support right up shoulder level, and for this reason it should, if possible, be made—or at least padded—to fit an individual driver. It should also be very rigidly mounted, to prevent any possibility of movement when cornering, accelerating, or braking.

In addition to being comfortable it is also necessary, on a single-seater, to be able to look over the top of the windscreen without being buffeted by the wind at high speeds. To attain the ideal in this respect it may be necessary to build different windscreens for different drivers.

There is much to be said in favor of the straight arm driving position. It allows the steering wheel to be turned the maximum amount without the arms becoming crossed up. It also permits rapid correction. Racing car steering is so light these days that the leverage of bent elbows is no longer necessary. And I find the straight arm position the most relaxing.

Martini & Rossi Suggests…
an enjoyable way to relax after the checkered flag goes down—M&R Vermouth on the rocks, a drink that is winning favor among sportsmen everywhere. Sweet or extra dry, Martini & Rossi Vermouth is great straight. It’s America’s favorite.

Stirling Moss: "o que eu teria feito diferente"

Stirling MossDe 1948 a 1962, Stirling Moss competiu em 527 corridas, chegando ao final em 375, vencendo 212, sendo 16 delas na Fórmula 1. Sir Stirling, de 83 anos, falou à revista americana Car And Driver sobre o automobilismo na época do seu auge e agora.

O senhor competiu em uma vintage race em Lime Rock, onde alguns veículos que surgiram na sua época estiveram presentes. Estás surpreso pelo fato de que corridas de carros antigos terem se tornado tão populares?

Estou muito orgulhoso disso. Hoje, esses carros valem muito mais do que quando novos. Um Maserati, quando saía da fábrica, não chegava nem perto de como ficou depois de alguns anos de restauração. Uma coisa que me deixa perplexo é que essas pessoas que guiam estes carros hoje sabem que correm o mesmo perigo que nós presenciávamos há mais de cinquenta anos.

The door has been closed on a competitive racing career that has spanned more than 60 years. During qualifying for the Le Mans Legends race, Sir Stirling Moss OBE, made the decision to retire from the sport he loves.

He leaves motor racing as one of the most recognised racing drivers in the world, having raced from the age of 18, winning the British Grand Prix twice, the Monaco Grand Prix three times, the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio and the Tourist Trophy, as well as countless other races, during his professional career.

He then went onto compete in historic racing. As patron of Goodwood, he has helped make the Goodwood Revival and historic racing around the world hugely popular.

He is regarded as one of the greatest motor racing drivers the sport has ever known, having raced successfully in all forms of motor sport and racing not only to win, but racing because he loved the racing itself.
