- You can see this 1908 Mercedes Grand Prix driven by Ben Collings in action during the 2018/2019 editions of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The large 12.8-Litre 4-cylinder in-line engine developed around 140hp at 1,400 rpm and was designed taking into account the change in racing regulations that began precisely in that racing season. The Bore/Stroke ratio of the engine became 155x170mm, and the overall weight of the car had to be at least 1.150Kg. Mercedes with this model won the 1908 French Grand Prix with the driver Christian Lautenschlager. The impressive thing was that he arrived almost nine minutes ahead of his main competitor Hemery behind the wheel of a Benz.

Questa Mercedes Grand Prix del 1908 pilotata da Ben Collings la potete vedere in azione filmata durante le edizioni 2018/2019 del Goodwood Festival of Speed. Il grosso motore 4 cilindri in linea sviluppa circa 140cv a 1.400 giri/min ed è stato concepito tenendo conto al cambio di regolamenti nelle competizioni che iniziarono proprio in quella stagione di corse.
Il rapporto Alesaggio/Corsa del motore divenne 155x170mm ed il peso complessivo dell'auto doveva essere di almeno 1.150Kg. Mercedes con questo modello di vetture si aggiudicò la vittoria al Gran Premio di Francia del 1908 con il pilota Christian Lautenschlager. La cosa impressionante fu l'arrivo a quasi nove minuti avanti rispetto al suo principale concorrente Hemery al volante di una una Benz.

Fun fact: Christian Lautenschlager was my grand grand father I once sat in the car in the Mercedes Benz museum because my family got invited
Really interesting; I don't know your age. Did you get to hear your grandfather's stories? Or were they told you by your parents? He was a victorious driver, winning the French Grand Prix twice in 1908 and 1914
@@Italiansupercarvideo I never met him and my mother also not but I think my grandmothers brother knew him and told the stories to my mom she told them to me
@@Italiansupercarvideo the Car In the video is his car isn’t it ??
@@Italiansupercarvideo I just know that I sat in a car but I don’t know wich one I was 8 years old I think
That Benz looks pretty dam fast for 1908! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏿
You're welcome, I appreciated your comment. I've always been a fan of ancient cars, most people look at them casually and cannot understand their importance, often they see them as carts on wheels or a little more. They fail to understand that are the cars of those pioneering years that led to the evolution of the vehicles. Being able to see them ran, and as happens at Goodwood, also driven very hard, is a real pleasure. Patience if a few people will see these videos, but I know that those few are true fans 😉👍
@@Italiansupercarvideo Big fan this way! Happy Holidays!
@@maclac48 Thanks, happy holidays!
Building powerful cars only a few years after they were invented
Man has always been in search of speed, and cars like this are proof of this 👍
A 520 X-ring chain conversion would free up another 10-20 HP on this car! You can hear the friction of the implement type chains as it goes by.
I read that when a Mercedes GP like this raced in those years, one of these units reached around 180 hp and therefore what you say is correct 👍
Sounds a bit like SLR
Who does produce tires for this car?
I don't want to be wrong, but Firestone should be one of the manufacturers that produce them.
I am sure Coker Tire makes some.
@@upsidedowndog1256 Thanks for this additional information.
There were still a number of manufacturers still making tires for cars like this. The owner/driver of this car;
ruclips.net/video/smiakhErSuQ/видео.html
Also owns a tire company who makes tires specifically for vintage race cars. It's called Blockley tire company
Hang on a minute, it's got *four pedals!!!*
Oh damn, yes, cars of this type were pretty complicated to use 😅😂
@@Italiansupercarvideo Still, you had to be some sort of a Hindu Deity to use it. Four pedals, a gear lever and an adjacent brake lever, plus the steering wheel, and, If you're driving solo, there's the pressure pump for the fuel!
@@jcgabriel1569 That's right, we see these drivers using them quite easily, but I think there's a lot of practice behind them before they can use in this way. In addition to everything you wrote that made me smile because it's true, you have to think of everything else, like the almost total lack of brakes, an uncertain road holding, the road surface gravel and full of potholes at the time....
@@Italiansupercarvideo Not to mention the dust on those gravel roads that would blind you and prevent you from seeing much ahead.
@@jcgabriel1569 You're right; nowadays, we have no idea how complicated and dangerous it was to drive those cars, let alone drive them in races!
