Between Juan Manuel Fangio’s retirement and Moss’s career-ending crash at Goodwood in 1962, he was the F1 benchmark. And he was the top sportscar performer for nearly a decade. When picking out greatest drives, there are a number of different criteria we look at. Impressing in inferior machinery, great recovery drives and demonstrations of wet-weather prowess are among the sorts of races we look for. Moss had some of the best examples of all of these, and more. The most challenging thing was cutting this list down to 10… Read Also: Sir Stirling Moss dies aged 90 Why Stirling Moss was ‘Mr. Motor Racing’ 10. 1950 Tourist Trophy Jaguar XK120 / Result: 1st The Dundrod road circuit in Northern Ireland is a fearsome venue, one which was considered too fast for top-line car racing after three driver deaths in 1955.

The angular saloon with sliding doors has a windscreen that doubles as a giant screen. The coronavirus pandemic has been cancelling auto shows left and right this year, but the Beijing Motor Show is one of the very few that have survived. Originally scheduled for late April, the event in China’s capital is in full swing, and there are actually a lot of interesting cars to see.

Qoros’ global media site is disappointingly outdated, but local media has managed to obtain some information about the angular saloon. It’s allegedly five metres (197 inches) long and two metres (79 inches) wide, while standing just 1.4 metres (55 inches) tall. To put those numbers into perspective, it’s about as long as an Audi A7 Sportback , but significantly wider and a tad lower.
