Santa Pod 50th, Moss in photos, one-wheel scooter, Bangladeshi off-roaders – Four-Links

* Goodwood this week posted a photo retrospective of Stirling Moss’s racing career, including the above shot of Moss “collecting” a mechanic at the starting line at Zandvoort in 1949.

As part of the celebrations of Santa Pod’s 50th anniversary, the British racetrack’s Facebook page posted a big ol’ set of historic photos from the first days of racing on the abandoned airfield up through the Eighties and later.

* Photographer Shadman Al Samee sent a bunch of photos of four-wheel-drive vehicles on the streets in Bangladesh to Off-Road Action. Foreign four-wheel aficionados, just try to identify all of them.
