On This Day: Moss scores only victory for a four-wheel-drive Formula 1 car | Brief

On September 23, 1961, Stirling Moss achieved a historic milestone by winning the only race for a four-wheel-drive Formula 1 car, the Ferguson P99, at the Oulton Park Gold Cup. This victory marked a unique moment in motorsport history, as four-wheel-drive technology did not find success in the Formula 1 world championship and was subsequently banned.

The Ferguson P99's win remains a significant point of interest in F1 history, highlighting the challenges and limitations of four-wheel-drive systems in the sport. Despite its innovative design, the technology could not compete effectively in the long term, leading to its exclusion from future competitions.
