"Stirling Moss is the best driver who ever lived" - Nigel Roebuck. By Peter Windsor
In part two of my chat with Nigel Roebuck, the world's leading motor racing historian and journalist, we talk some more about the colossus that was Sir Stirling Moss. Nigel describes Stirl's relationship with Fangio (his team-mate at Mercedes in 1955); his epic win at the Nurburgring in the fog in 1960 with the Birdcage Maser; and his long discussion with Dan Gurney about which driver Dan rated higher - Stirling or Jimmy Clark. This video also includes little-seen AP Archive footage from the 1955 British GP at Aintree.

There'll be a third and final part to our Moss-Roebuck series out shortly - and in the next video Nigel WILL talk about the Behra pics in this study. Sorry for the omission this time; we ran out of space. In part three we'll also be talking about Stirl's long and beautiful relationship with Rob Walker.
Thanks for watching.
Peter.
