Season 43 - 1955GP - Round 1 – AintreeThe first race in the 1955 Grand Prix series finds us at Aintree in England. Aintree is located in the outskirts of Liverpool in the north of England. It is where Stirling Moss, driving a Mercedes, won his first British Grand Prix in 1955. After a race of 90 laps, Stirling finished in a time of 3h 7m 21.2s, just 0.2 seconds head of his illustrious Argentine teammate Juan Manuel Fangio. Mercedes dominated the race with a 1–2–3–4 finish with Karl Kling and Piero Taruffi driving the other two Mercedes cars. The first British driver / British car victory in a British Grand Prix was also at Aintree in 1957, when Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks shared a Vanwall.
Please note: Aintree has generous run-off areas so
please respect the track limits. Please check the rules regarding corner cutting (see last bullet point under the
General section on the
Racing Etiquette page) and the Penalty Guidelines for a
bad rejoin.
