Today (Thursday) is the beginning of the 2008 Mille Miglia Storica, a competition long associated with Mercedes-Benz.

While the event started off as a road race, it has since evolved into an endurance rally and over the years Mercedes-Benz has entered many vehicles including one driven by Sir Stirling Moss.

This year, Mercedes-Benz is a main sponsor of the Mille Miglia bringing 120 years of the brand’s experience to the event.

While Stirling Moss won the event in 1955 by setting a record time, Mercedes-Benz also had a victorious driver in 1931 when Rudolf Caracciola won the event.

Since then there have been numerous second places and class victories in the historic event.

Racing and rally drivers competing in the event need certain qualities in the performance of their cars as well as the comfort necessary for an endurance race.

Mercedes-Benz has constantly lived up to the performance, safety, comfort and value retention qualities expected of good cars.

Sir Stirling Moss will be present at the Double Twelve event at Mercedes-Benz World.
