We are always prepared to go one step further, with superlative performance and sports cars that challenge the limits of physics. And with thrilling driving experiences that condense into unforgettable AMG moments. This is the World of Driving Performance: created to give our all and to extract even more — from every mile, and from every moment. WORLD OF DRIVING PERFORMANCE 5 6 VEHICLES 7 Engine on. Everyday off. The acceleration of independence is an art mastered to perfection by every Mercedes-AMG. Whether it’s a pure sports car or a refined luxury vehicle — be it a sedan, wagon, SUV, coupe or convertible — it delivers a high-performance driving experience with outstanding comfort and impressive efficiency. A Mercedes-AMG unites driver, road and automobile to make every day extraordinary. At the same time, every situation and every detail reveals the origins of the AMG pedigree — the racetracks of the world. 8 COURAGE 9 We make history. With a passion. 10 FOUNDERS 11 Victory takes technical genius. And visionary thinking. With the conviction that they could win, Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher laid the foundations of AMG in 1967. Together, they optimized engine power and dedicated themselves to their racing customers. They were soon competing against strong, established racing teams and, in 1971, their lightened and fortified 300 SEL sedan won its class at the legendary 24-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps.

  • The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500
    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.
