Excellent photo of the legendary Stirling Moss in his one and only race  driving a BRM V16 - which he infamopusly called "The worst racing car I have ever driven" .

This is at Dundrod near Belfast, Northern Ireland, taking part in the Ulster Trophy Formula One and Formula Two race in 1952.

This was a fateful day for his team mate the great Argentine drive Juan Manuel Fangio who ,  having struggled manfully with the difficult and viciously powerful V16 BRM, drove across Europe overnight to take part in a race at Monza the following day. He crashed during that race (some say a rare lapse of concentration caused by his fatigue) and broke his neck. This put him out of racing for the rest of 1952
