In 1955, One car dominated the sports car racing circuit. The Mercedes Benz 300 SLR. This car, which was the forerunner of the legendary 300sl Gullwing and the 300 SL Roadster, achieved an unprecedented place in the annals of sport car competition.  in the 1955 Mille Miglia, car number 722 driven by Mercedes-Benz factory driver Stirling Moss with the aid of his navigator Denis Jenkinson completed the 992-mile distance in 10 hours, 7 minutes and 48 seconds- an average speed of 99 mph (160 km/h) - a record that still stands today.
