Mercedes-Benz racing tradition

Success for Schock and Moll in Mercedes-Benz 220 SE and 300 SL cars
After the company's withdrawal from Formula 1 and sports-car racing, Mercedes-Benz cars were entered in rallies by private teams after 1956. These rallies were essentially an acid test of the reliability of pre-production vehicles. After Alfred Neubauer's retirement, ex-racing driver Karl Kling was appointed Director of Sport and assumed responsibility for the support Mercedes-Benz provided in selected motorsport events.

In the late fifties and early sixties, the six-cylinder 220 SE and 300 SE saloons and the 300 SL sports car became a subject of discussion along the roads and dirt tracks of the world. In 1956, the team of Walter Schock and Rolf Moll won the European Rally Championship. An unexpected victory was clinched by the Kling/Günzler duo in the 14,000 kilometre Mediterrannée–Le Cap Rally in 1959, driving a Mercedes-Benz 190 D. The following year, it was again the Schock/Moll team that secured the European Rally Championship for itself in a 220 SE: they were the first to cross the finishing line in both the legendary Monte Carlo Rally and the Acropolis Rally in Greece.
