Grand Prix

I’ve always wanted to drive a classic grand prix race car, but am convinced I’ll destroy the transmission or end up spinning it off the road. For now, I’m leaving the task up to the professionals. 

Stirling Moss took the checkered flag at the 1956 Monaco Grand Prix driving a Maserati 250F and, in this video celebrating 100 years of Maserati history, Moss recounts his love of the 250F. While not as fast in a straight line as the Ferraris, Moss was able to establish a big lead early on and led throughout the race.

While there are still no confirmed plans for a London GP, Lotus gave us the next best thing with this awesome footage of one of their 2012 F1 cars (with the good old angry bees exhaust note) racing down the streets of London’s Canary Wharf.
