1912 Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Special at Radnor Hunt

1912 Mercedes Grand Prix 1 1912 Mercedes Grand Prix 2

This is one of those insane racecars from the dawn of the automotive era. It’s got a 9.5L inline 4 from a period fighter plane stuffed under its hood, and not much extra car around it. This is a racer from an era when the drivers had some serious stones because the speeds were very real and the safety measures were nonexistent.
