Stirling Moss at Le Mans 1-hr

Sir Stirling Moss is to drive at Le Mans this year - in the one-hour Le Mans Legends race prior to the 24 Hours itself.

He will drive the Aston Martin DBR1 he drove in the 50s, a car that helped Aston Martin win the 1959 World Sportscar Championship. Moss, now 77, drove for Aston at Le Mans three times, firstly in a DB3S (1956) and then in a DBR 1 (1958 and '59). Although he won the 1958 and '59 Goodwood Tourist Trophies and the Nurburgring 1,000 Kilometres, he has not - as yet - won at Le Mans.
