The 240 fastest Mercedes men and women

From the vast number of drivers who have competed for Mercedes-Benz and its ancestors in the past 115 years, legends such as Hermann Lang, Karl Kling, Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher stand out.

However, history should not forget all those other works drivers and privateers whose exploits added to the fame of the company at the wheel of formula, sports racing and touring cars; drivers whose names have often unjustly faded from view.

Now those drivers have also been celebrated in a comprehensive dictionary with over 300 pictures from Veloce Publishing.

Famous or obscure, the 240 fastest of these drivers are presented in this volume, which has been compiled in close co-operation with Mercedes-Benz Classic. Only one thousand copies of this beautifully illustrated 250-page hardback volume have been printed in English.

It is available now from bookshops or from velocebooks.com and provides a unique, comprehensive record which is a veritable who's who of the four-wheeled sport.
