Are you ready for some highlights from our 130-year motorsport history at the Mille Miglia? In 1955, Stirling Moss and his co-driver, Denis, Jenkinson, won the Mille Miglia in 10:07:48 hours in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR racing sports car (W 196 S). This was the fastest time ever achieved in the race and thus a record for eternity. The standard Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupés (W 198), which were optimised for racing, also caused a sensation at the time: The “Gullwings” achieved a triple-class victory, led by John Cooper Fitch and his co-driver, Kurt Gessl, in the No. 417 300 SL. The number stands for the start time at 4:17 a.m. in the morning. In 1956, Erwin Bauer and Erwin Grupp won the class of special touring cars with a displacement of over two litres in a Mercedes-Benz 220 “Ponton” (W 180).

I named my SL after Stirling Moss :-)

Jochen Mass was stunned by our reckless driving, as we literally didn't allow him to be more than a few meters away from us on the whole route to Rome! By the way, we also drove a powerful MB 😎
