1952 was one of the most important years in Mercedes-Benz racing
history; after a 13-year absence, it returned to motor sport
competition with an automobile that rewrote the history of modern
sports car racing. The 300 SL's debut was the culmination of a
long, difficult road back to racing for Mercedes-Benz after a 13
year break. This book vividly depicts the 300 SL's performance in
the five races in which it competed in 1952, and tells the story of
how it became the most successful competition sports car of that
year. Through dramatic photographs, and equally stirring text, one
of the greatest years of sports car racing is brought to life,
filled with automobiles often finished in national racing colours,
prepared by great factory teams, driven by men who were national
sporting idols, and raced under gruelling conditions unique to the
age. From its Mille Miglia debut, through the Nurburgring, the Le
Mans 24 Hours, to its greatest race, the Carrera Panamericana, the
300 SL's career from conception to retirement is presented,
culminating with a detailed photographic essay illustrating
restoration of the oldest 300 SL in existence.
