Sad loss indeed a true racing legend from when things were a lot more dangerous .
He won so many races in so many different types of race .
The greatest driver to never to be world champion.
Mainly due to the fact he lost to Mike Hawthorne by 1 point because he refused to protest an alleged infringement.

In 1976 I got the chance to see Moss and Jack Brabam up close at a private practice session at Oran Park near Sydney.

Stirling and Jack were conducting a test session for their V8 Holden Commodore they were preparing for the Bathurst 1000.

It was a private test session with only their car on the track. They were testing suspension setup and were plagued by broken axles as the car lifted rear wheels through the corners.

Their race day is detailed below:
