Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? At the tender age of 79 (soon to be 80 in September) Sir Stirling Moss started his first desk job today at Motor Sport magazine’s riverside offices in London. It is only for one day, but we are very honoured to have him join us as our guest editor. Sir Stirling says “I am pleased to be guest editor of “Motor Sport”. Motor racing has been my life; it still is. “Motor sport” covers the modern sport and also does a tremendous job of covering the past. It doesn’t forget the past because the past is still with us.”
Sir Stirling is editing the October issue which is dedicated to him and celebrates his motor racing career. He remains the most famous racing driver in Britain today, even though he hasn’t raced at the top level since his retirement over 50 years ago.
The issue highlights his most memorable racing moments and the fact that he is still as busy as ever, competing in historic events and narrating the highly successful children’s cartoon Roary the Racing Car.
The Stirling Moss issue coincides with his 80th birthday in September.
Sir Stirling came to our offices and sat in the editors chair while thinking up headlines and reminiscing over his triumphant career.
Motor Sport was founded in 1924. It is the most established and perhaps best-known motor racing magazine in the world, with a reputation as the true voice of the sport. We tackle the matters of the moment in Formula 1 and beyond and, as Sir Stirling has graced many of our pages over the years, it feels only right to offer such a personality his own special issue. Motor Sport recently celebrated its 1000th issue and we are also pleased to announce the first Motor Sport Hall of Fame event which will take place at the Roundhouse, London on February 10, 2010.
