As a kid, I was fortunate enough to see him on the track a number of times. His in the cockpit driver style was, very unique, often back in the day in a tee shirt, with his arms fully stretched out, completely opposite of the current stressed granny hunched over the steering wheel of today's drivers. He was very easy to spot in endurance events. And he could drive. RIP. https://blog.dupontregistry.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Stirling-Moss.jpg

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I had a slot car setup in the 60's that had his endorsement Ditto, about ca. 1964 or 5 Aurora Model Motoring, Grey controllers with steering wheel accelerator, iirc a mustang and ford gt figure 8 complete with snap on white plastic guardrails. Kind of a pita to keep the aluminum track connectors (pre plastic ones) from breaking and then there were all those shiny metal rods to get lost. I know he was a great brit racer, never really followed him like unser, foyt, or gurney
