Lotus 18, The autobiography of Stirling Moss’s ‘912’
The first World Championship race of the 1½-litre Formula 1 era for 1961 was the Monaco Grand Prix. It was Ferrari’s powerful new ‘shark-nose’ cars that were expected to dominate it. However Stirling Moss used all his craft and guile to take a celebrated win in his Lotus 18. Although Ferrari did prove to be the dominant force that season, Moss scored a second success in this Lotus 18 at the Nürburgring. A race that turned out to be the last World Championship Formula 1 victory of his career. The car’s entire 1961 season covered in fascinating detail in the Lotus 18, The autobiography of Stirling Moss’s ‘912’. All supported by a fine collection of period photographs.
