1:15....to be overtaken by Sir Stirling Moss. What an honour!

a legend driving a legendary car!

I am in awe. Hope I'm still going that well when I'm 84! Amazing!

The greatest racing driver ever. Moss won 40% of all the events he entered and 66% of all the events he finished. Incomparable.

Of course he is he's English, sorry but stats and every one of his peers say Jim Clark was the greatest, he couldn't lace Jimmy's boots.

@@petersneddon1579 Oh dear, what a sad comment. Both were British and I am Welsh if petty nationality matters. I also rate Nuvolari and Fangio and possibly Hamilton as in the top five. Does that tick enough boxes for you?

Sir Stirling Moss: he's 84, had a career-ending accident, and yet I'd be happy if I were half as smooth as he is behind the wheel.

Gentleman's wave appreciated. Love that engine and gearbox whine. Had a 65 GT, first car.

RIP, Sir Stirling. Lapping again with Fangio now.

a true professional at work, absolute legend.

Sadly no longer with us, but I was at Goodwood Revival this year when they held a tribute to Stirling with all the cars he ever raced on track at once.

"Yes that`s right... I was passed with consummate ease by Sir Stirling Moss" "But you lost the race" "Well yes of course.... But I was passed by Sir Stirling Moss" Now that is serious bragging rights... "Who were you passed by today"? The man was a bloody legend of the sport, not to mention a gentleman of the sport.

lovely waves passing the pits and the Cortina - always the gentleman

Amazing. So inspiring to see an icon at that age driving and waving.

so smooth even got time to wave,sweet...

That's how you go fast, relax and smooth! Thumbs up :)

what a legend Stirling is...the old mans still got it :)

Iconic legend a true British hero R.I.P

Wonderful video. Absolutely Stirling.

Fantastic to see him in one!

Just a great bloke and great driver, just look what we have for celebs today, what went wrong.

These knights are no longer born !!! Thanks so much ...Sir...

OMP full halo seat and the old helmet, so incredible!

The big driver , the Driver!!!!! Good bye sir ( from Italy)

I can imagine the guy in the blue Cortina he over took shouting "Who d'ya think you are, Stirling Moss"

KZread: Would you like to see an 80+ year old drive a Cortina? Me: You win this round, KZread algorithm

Bless him, RiP a legend. K

still giving it the beans what a man!

The thing that makes this drive so impressive is the sheer miserliness of driver input, he looks so calm and relaxed

lovely waves passing the pits and the other driver - always the gentleman.

Well he is a Sir after all.

smooth accurate driving and really giving it some bollocks, great guy.

and the gentelmany wave aster he passes the other car... i was waiting to see that!

Still got it.

Moss racing in a Cortina?! That makes this the Coolest Video on YT, be sure!

Wow, I'm in awe

Ole man still got the kick

Good show!

84 and giving driving lessons to guys less than half his age. The early throttle gets the Champagne

There are some really great comments made about this chap here and I agree with everyone of them..........he did not just race cars, he rallied them as well along with his sister Pat.

Stirling Moss racing at Goodwood. I think he won the first race at Goodwood in 1948; a 500cc single seater race I think.

What a legend !

Awesome!

watch this and marvel at the skill

Lovely !

This reminds me of the racing sim GT Legends. The car wasn't that quick, but it can handle through the tight corners.

damn he shifts fast!

Just one of the reasons he and Co driver Denis Jenkinson won and still hold the Mille miglia record

excellent!

You can see his real skill as he balances the car beyond its limits through the double corner @ 0:55 to carry as much exit speed as possible which he used to pass the driver in front who was holding him back.

Wow, what a class act 1:19 with a thank you hand gesture. Double apex at 1:30, who says you loose your edge with age?

Imagine a 30 year old Stirling Moss in McLaren. Bye bye Vettel!

+Jake Hamilton - Unlikely. It's totally different game now. 1) A 30 year old Stirling wouldn't be fit enough - he liked the women and champagne far too much and; 2) The skills now are totally different. It's all about fitness and reaction time because the G forces are ridiculous and the speed is so intense. It's less about car control now because of aerodynamic downforce. A McLaren P1 is almost certainly faster around an average track than his 1958 Vanwall. That's how far Grand Prix cars have moved on in performance. Having said all that, I'm pretty certain a 30 year old Stirling would be far quicker in his Vanwall than Vettel or Lewis Hamilton. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

Fabio Henrique yeah, somehow I think Sir Stirling would have buckled down and fit in. Recent Studies have shown that athletes have virtually the same skills that were displayed in Jesse Owens’ time and that the main differences are in the equipment. F1 was a sport back then and the competitors were still as lackadaisical as those in the movie Chariots of Fire.

@@jockellis Oh sure. Lots of legends could race a modern car. Sir Sterling, Hans Stuck, Alan De Cadet, Dickie Attwood(as he proved on the Grand Tour at 84 years old driving a Porsche 917k.) The legends would be able to do it. It's the youngsters who only know how to drive computerized modern stuff who could not drive old analog stuff

he should be driving miss daisy at his age brilliant to the the talents still there

Wow!

I overtook Sterling Moss on Muswell Hill once - he was in a Sinclair C5 though

So good to watch him driving a line again...all I want is the motor racing world to stay (64--77)..look at the computer controlled dribble we watch,what's that's f1's bosses name,,yeah him, Little fruity, Min aero,everyone same block and gbox,diff,chassis and tyres,teams hav free range on everything else,the stuff that matters in the real world,or put all drivers in a lotus49 style rep,,we want the sideways not the best fuckn setting

he is the man. only guy his age I can think of that still drives this fats

The steering is on the wrong side

Did this transmission have spur gears?

He had his career-ending crash at the corner around 0:40, didn't he?

I say, not bad for an 80 year old gentleman. Not at all :)

A car worthy of Need for Speed Shift's overexaggerated transmission whine.

Fake?
