Description
The 1957 Pescara Grand Prix was a three-hour race of terrifying speed and danger that took place on public roads along the Adriatic coast. Stirling Moss emerged victorious, beating Juan Manuel Fangio to end years of dominance by Italian teams Ferrari and Maserati. This pivotal event has been brought back to life in a thrilling account that reminds us how much motorsport has changed over the past 50 years. The narrative includes commentary from four surviving competing drivers: Tony Brooks, Roy Salvadori, Jack Brabham, and Stirling Moss himself.
