Description
In the thirties, the most glamorous Grand
Prix races took place in the North African city of Tripolis. Since 1934 this
exotic paradise has formed the exclusive background of motor races which were dominated
by the superiority of Mercedes-Benz.
As from 1939 the Grand Prix was limited to 1.5 litre cars, Mercedes-Benz
succeeded in building an entirely new racing car at a record pace the 1.5 litre
W 165 with a V8-engine and remarkable 256 hp. With this vehicle Hermann Lang
gained a sensational victory which was the result of an outstanding team
performance and one of the most unexpected triumphs in the history of motor
sport. Therefore it is not surprising that this car and the Tripolis race became
a legend.
