This was the start of the racing career of Sir Stirling Moss, who drove a BMW 328 owned by his father, in the UK’s Poole Speed Trials on September 6, 1947. In those days he was still allowed to drive bareheaded, a practice to be curtailed when his Cooper 500-cc eventually came along. On this day he finished 3rd in class.
