Stirling Moss retires

Moss admits he was scared when he began practice at an historic event during the Le Mans 24-hour race meeting and decided it was time to hang up his helmet.

It's his second retirement, following a monstrous crash in 1961 that almost killed him.

Moss became a household name during the 1950s and 1960s and is best know as the most successful driver never to win a Formula One world championship.

He came back to racing in the 1980s but concentrated on historic events and developed a career that took him around the world - including many visits to Australia - where he starred simply as 'Stirling Moss'.
