S1 Ep246: Group A Racing: Mercedes

It’s the first part of our series on Group A Racing! We’re diving into how it got started and how it led to one of the most intense rivalries in racing history. How did Mercedes executives turning their back on factory racing sponsorships lead directly to one of the biggest Group A rivalries ever? How did the Audi Quattro push Mercedes Benz into Group A racing? How did Mercedes Benz inadvertently create the best BMW? Today in Part One of Three, we examine how Mercedes Benz got started in Group A racing and how it led to one of the most intense rivalries in racing history.
