Sir Stirling Moss congratulates team

17th Oct 2009

Sir Stirling Moss invited the Max Adventure team to join him at his hotel in southern Portugal to chat about their recent drive around Europe which recreated his run of 1952.

Competing in a classic car race near Faro, driving an OSCA 1500 along with co-driver Roger Earl and competing against much more powerful cars during the two hour circuit race, he hopes they will win their class. Stirling will drive the first and last 40 minute session, with Roger at the wheel for the middle stint.

After posing with the two Land Rovers and team for photos, for over an hour Stirling chatted openly and freely about his 3,300 mile race around Europe, describing in great detail the adventure that he and his four man team had in the Humber Super Snipe. Stories were swapped about road conditions, vehicle specifications, eating and sleeping on the road, and even tips about how to stay awake during the continuous 3 1/2 days behind the wheel.

The Max Adventure film crew of Will Clough and Jack Burnford then interviewed Stirling for their film about the 15 countries in 5 days challenge from Oslo to Lisbon. This film will soon be available to watch on the Max Adventure website and Stirling Moss TV.

The team would like to say a huge thanks to Sir Stirling for his time this morning and for honouring them with his patronage. They wish him all the success in winning his class at today's race.
