THIS IS NOT REALLY AN ADVERTISEMENT
The first question is always! Why do you do it?
And lets admit right away, we do it because we like it. Win or lose,
we have lots of fun in Macau.
And the secand question is always; and what does it prove?
Well, it proves reliability and safety. The Mercedes, Benz 300-SL driven so well by Arthur Pateman which won this year's Macau Grand Prix and the Mercedes 190-SL which won last year's Macau Grand Prix are basically made up of the same parts used on the normal Mercedes Benz 190 or 220-3 you might buy at our showroom,
At the end of the straight at Macau the 300-SL touches 130MPH and has to be braked to 40 MPH to get around the first band. This happens 77 times during the race. You who only do 60 MPH and have to use your brakes hard -herhaps once a month have this
margin of safety,
Around the crack the engine of the 190-$1 exceeds 7000 RPM: several times a lup. You whe never sure your engine fester than 5000 RPM have this margin of safety.
After 300 miles of racing neither the oll or the water need topping You who never drive over 90 MPH have this margin of safety.
Artificial testing machines can navar duplicate road conditions or the stresses and strains of a race. If a car wink a race then we know is good cer and that les component parts, shock absorberz, springt, braku iinee, tan baiss, ecc.. ete, san take the worst a driver can do to a car. That is YOUR margin of safety.
