For Alfred Neubauer, the head of the Mercedes-Benz racing department, only one victory was miss- ing – winning the Carrera Panamericana, a long-distance race in Latin America. With four competi- tion cars and a team of 35 service people, the crew flew to Mexico in November 1952. The engine displacement of the 300 SL had been increased to 3.1 liters, producing 177 hp. Kling’s car collided with a vulture 50 km ahead of the finish, which broke the windshield. The windshield was then protected by a metal grid, and Kling, in car No. 4, took first place. Hermann Lang in car No. 3, also a Mercedes 300 SL, finished in second place. -3- Auto Union Type C, 1936-1937 Scale 1:18 Item No. M-034 The recommended retail price per model is 320.- €. Developed by Ferdinand Porsche, this race car made history in a way that virtually no other race car had done before. With the Type C in 1936, Auto Union introduced a monoposto that was almost totally different from all other race cars up to that time. The most striking feature was the uncon- ventional design of the sensational 16-cylinder V-type engine installed behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle – an innovation which soon became an accepted practice. Perhaps the greatest rea- son for the success of the 520 hp “bullet” was its highly talented race driver: Bernd Rosemeyer. In 1936, which was his most successful year, he became the European Champion and won numerous Grand Prix races. In 1937, this new ace of Auto Union kept his main competitor, Mercedes-Benz, in check, and was able to continue his successful career with five more wins. At the beginning of 1938, however, his career came to an abrupt and tragic end due to a fatal acci- dent that occurred while he was trying to break the world speed record. After the end of the Sec- ond World War, the remaining race cars in Zwickau were turned over to the Soviet Union as repara- tion payment. It is still unknown what exactly happened to the race cars. The Auto Union Type C is hand –assembled from 1026 parts into an extraordinary precision model. The individual parts are made of high-quality materials: 23 parts are zinc die-cast, 754 are metal or copper, and 153 are made of plastic. The remaining 96 parts are screws, rivets, or simulated screw heads. -4- Mercedes-Benz Racing Car Transporter, 1955 “The Blue Wonder“ Scale 1:18 Item No. M-143 The recommended retail price per model is 388. - €. For years, the “Blue Wonder” was one of our best sellers. That was no surprise if you consider its aesthetic con- figuration and multiple functional parts. Choice materials and perfect workmanship, together with a deep blue high-gloss finish, made this replica a collector’s item that belonged in a special class. Years have elapsed since this model was sold out, and it is time to put an end to such a dearth. But instead of producing a remake of the old M-036, we are introducing a new version that incorporates newly discovered exterior details and ac- cessories from the archives. For example, the chromed wheel covers, an embellishment of Mercedes star inlaid in the front, and auxiliary head lamps with orange-colored lens. Furthermore, there are additional stone- chipping guards on the rear fenders, a rear plate illuminating system with two reflectors, and an oval national symbol “D” on the rear bumper. This new edition will be ready for delivery during 2016. After all, your W196 Monoposto, and Streamliner as well as 300 SLR Mille Miglia and Uhlenhaut Coupé need to have their transporter back! The Blue Wonder In 1954, the Mercedes-Benz’ experimental department developed a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind model -- the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporter. With a deep blue finish, soft curves of the body, and a top speed of 170 km/hr, the “Blue Wonder” touched off as much fascination as the racing cars that it transported. After Mer- cedes-Benz retired from professional racing at the end of 1955, the transporter disappeared from the public eye and was regrettably scrapped in 1967. In the early 90s, Daimler-Benz remembered the importance of this vehicle to its racing heritage. Under the direction of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center, an official replica was resurrected. -5- Mercedes – Benz Racing Car Transporter LO 2750, 1934-38 Scale 1:18 Item No. M-144 The recommended retail price per model is 694. - €. The Silver Arrows from Mercedes-Benz remain the classic icons of the 1930s that command high respect. This is not only true of such racing cars as the W25, W125, W154 and W165, but also of their drivers like Manfred von Brauchitsch, Rudolf Caracciola and Hermann Lang, who were consid- ered top-notch pilots of the time. Not quite as prominent and yet always influential on the public image of the Silver Arrows, however, were their carriers. The blue trucks with the lettering “Mer- cedes-Benz Rennabteilung (Racing Department)” were always a symbol of the will and determina- tion to take on even the hardest competition. Access to its officially replicated Type LO 2750 was kindly provided by Mercedes-Benz for the development of our miniature. Equipped with a 65 hp diesel engine, the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporters contributed to the huge success of the Silver Arrows in the 1930s. They were responsible for bringing the cars to the GP race tracks in time, maintaining the supply chain from the factory, and even serving as garages for repair work. Now and then they were used for presentation purposes. After a huge win, they -6- trucked a victorious Silver Arrow under a furled tarpaulin cover to the enthusiastic audience. For a major race, a whole fleet of transporters was in use. But unfortunately, not a single one of the origi- nal transporters survived -- all the more reason for us to bring it back as a high-end replica. CMC Ferrari 250 GTO Le Mans, 1962 Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet, Starting #19 Scale1:18 Item No. M-155, Limited Edition 1,500 pcs. The recommended retail price per model is 521. - €. A highlight of the 30th 24 Hours of Le Mans that took place from June 23rd to 24th, 1962 was the debut of the newly-developed Ferrari 250 GTO, which went into the race with high expectations and optimism. The race was the 8th series run of the World Sportscar Championship of the year. What was new was the classification of participating vehicles into 18 different racing classes. In the experimental class, the driver-duo Olivier Gende- bien /Phil Hill raced a highly powerful Ferrari 330 TRI/LM Testa Rossa Spyder to the first place in overall stand- ing. For the GT class, Ferrari had a new trump card -- the Belgian driver-duo Pierre Noblet/Jean Guichet in 250 GTO Chassis #3705 with the license plate MO-77914. This was a team with seasoned experience in endurance racing as well as prudent and outstanding driving skills. Fifty-five teams started off on the course. The Olivier Gendebien/Phil Hill team finished first in overall standing after completing 331 laps that totaled 4,451.255 km in 24 hours. Their average speed was 185.469 km/h, with Phil Hill driving the Spyder to establish the fastest lap time at 3.57.700 minutes, 204.202 km/h. Also remarkable was the result achieved by Pierre Noblet /Jean Guichet, the GT-class winner team in its Ferrari 250 GTO with starting #19 on a blue, white, and red tricolor- striped body. They covered a distance of 4,384.136 km in 24 hours, completing 326 laps at an average speed of 182.67 km/h. In addition to their first-place finish in the GT class, the remarkable performance led them to a 2nd position in overall standing. Three of the participant GTO’s finished in the top six places, thus making Le Mans 1962 one of the most successful racing events for Ferrari to this day. -7- CMC Ferrari 250 GTO Targa Florio, 1962 Giorgio Scarlatti and Pietro Ferraro, Starting #86 Scale1:18 Item No. M-156, Limited Edition 1,500 pcs. The recommended retail price per model is 521. - €. Shortly after its incipient racing appearances, the 250 GTO sent shockwaves through the motor- sports scene.

The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

Mercedes and McLaren: divorce German style USF1 confirms Aragon and Stubbs Issue 09.44 Senna signs for Campos New idea in Abu Dhabi Bridgestone to quit F1 at the end of 2010 Tom Wheatcroft A Silverstone deal close Graham Nearn Williams to confirm Barrichello and Hulkenberg this week Vettel in the twilight zone thebusinessofmotorsport ECONOMIC NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE RACING WORLD Doubts over Toyota future Toyota is expected to announce later this week that it will be withdrawing from Formula 1 immediately. The company is believed to have taken the decision after indications in Japan that the automotive markets are not getting any better, Honda having recently announced a 56% drop in earnings in the last quarter, compared to 2008. Prior to that the company was looking at other options, such as selling the team on to someone else. This has now been axed and the company will simply close things down and settle all the necessary contractual commitments as quickly as possible. The news, if confirmed, will be another blow to the manufacturer power in F1 as it will be the third withdrawal by a major car company in 11 months, following in the footsteps of Honda and BMW. There are also doubts about the future of Renault's factory team. The news will also be a blow to the Formula One Teams' Association, although the members have learned that working together produces much better results than trying to take on the authorities alone. It also means that there are now just three manufacturers left: Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault, and engine supply from Cosworth will become essential to ensure there are sufficient engines to go around.

  • Bernd Rosemeyer
    Sidepodchat – Bernd Rosemeyer Christine: This is show three of five, where Steven Roy turns his written words into an audio extravaganza. These posts were originally published at the beginning of the year on Sidepodcast.com but they are definitely worth a second airing. Steven: Bernd Rosemeyer. Some drivers slide under the door of grand prix racing unnoticed and after serving a respectable apprenticeship get promoted into top drives. Some, like Kimi Räikkönen, fly through the junior formulae so quickly that they can only be granted a license to compete on a probationary basis. One man never drove a race car of any description before he drove a grand prix car and died a legend less than 3 years after his debut with his entire motor racing career lasting less than 1,000 days. Bernd Rosemeyer was born in Lingen, Lower Saxony, Germany on October 14th 1909. His father owned a garage and it was here that his fascination with cars and motor bikes began. The more I learn about Rosemeyer the more he seems like a previous incarnation of Gilles Villeneuve. Like Gilles he had what appeared to be super-natural car control. Like Gilles he seemed to have no fear and like Gilles he didn’t stick rigidly to the law on the road. At the age of 11 he borrowed his father’s car to take some friends for a drive and when at the age of 16 he received his driving license it was quickly removed after the police took a dim view to some of his stunt riding on his motor bike.

I felt comfortable right the way through and it was great to finally get another win at one of the real classic F1 circuits. Now, we head to another of those in Monza. It’s an awesome track – so fast and with some of the most passionate fans you’ll see anywhere in the world. I was actually at this circuit with Sir Stirling Moss earlier this year, driving the banking in his old Mercedes W 196, which was just awesome. Having that taste of what it was like for those guys back in the day really gives you a feel for the history of this place and why it became so legendary. It’s still a big challenge today, too. Fast, but really technical at the same time with some heavy braking and big kerbs to ride for the best line. Racing in Italy brings back a lot of good memories for me and I’d love to add to those this weekend, so that’s the aim. Nico Rosberg Page 2 The race in Spa was definitely disappointing. My start was not good so I need to work on that and also on finding those extra tenths in qualifying to get back on top there.

  • Competing Grand Prix Technologies of the Past
    P.1 of 4 Competing Grand Prix technologies of the past In 2014, when the FIA Formula 1 engine of the 3rd Pressure-Charged (TurboCharged) Era will be so closely specified, even down to the diameter of the valve stems, that it seems likely that only company-specific detail drawing standards will produce any differences (“electrickery” apart), it is interesting to recollect some of the great technical duels of the past century of Grand Prix racing. In 1912 at the French Grand Prix, run under Formule Libre, 14.1 litre FIATs battled with 7.6 litre Peugeots having a more advanced specification and they just lost. The Peugeot introduced Double Overhead Camshafts and this became the valve operating mechanism of choice for nearly all subsequent racing engines and now is commonplace in ordinary production cars. Over 1934 – 1939 the front-engined IL8 and V12 Mercedes-Benz and the mid-engined V16 and V12 Auto Union cars, built firstly to the 750 kg empty and then the 3 litre Pressure-Charged (PC) / 4.5 litre Naturally Aspirated (NA) rules, fought tooth-and-nail for supremacy. This was a German internecine rivalry, perhaps sharpened by geography as Swabia (Stuttgart) versus Saxony (Chemnitz). Mercedes, with about twice the expenditure of Auto Union, beat them over the 48 races which they both contested by 27 wins to 17. Alfa Romeo wins (4) added a little spice occasionally. See Picture 1 on P.3. In 1949, in the temporary absence of Alfa Romeo, the rules which applied 1947 – 1951 allowed 1.5 litre PC cars (V12 Ferrari and IL4 Maserati) to compete with 4.5 litre NA (IL6 Lago-Talbot).

  • History of the Alpine Brand
    HISTORY OF THE ALPINE BRAND Alpine is the story of a brand, but it is also the story of men before being, tomorrow, the story of a renewal. CONTENTS I. A "RENAULT" FAMILY II. JEAN RÉDÉLÉ, RACING CHAMPION III. THE CREATION OF ALPINE IV. FROM ALPINE TO ALPINE-RENAULT V. AN INNOVATIVE EXPORT POLICY VI. ALPINE’S REBIRTH VII. MOTORSPORT, ALPINE’S DNA VIII. ALPINE: A HISTORY OF MEN IX. ALPINE PRODUCTION IN FIGURES X. SOME TITLES WON BY ALPIN 1 Confidential C I. A RENAULT ‘FAMILY’ Jean Rédélé was the first-born son of Madeleine Prieur and Emile Rédélé, a Renault dealer based in Dieppe and a former mechanic of Ferenc Szisz – the first Renault Frères ‘factory driver’, winner of the Grand Prix de la Sarthe in 1906 at Le Mans and runner-up in the Grand Prix de l'A.C.F. in Dieppe in 1907.
