In 1984, Niki Lauda wanted to celebrate the re-configured, and much safer, Nurburgring.
So the Austrian and Mercedes organized a 12-lap race with 20 racing legends. They included:
Lauda, of course
• Jack Brabham
• Phil Hill
• James Hunt
• Alan Jones
• Stirling Moss
• Alain Prost
• Carlos Reutemann
• Keke Rosberg
• Jody Scheckter
• John Surtees
Apparently, Emerson Fittipaldi couldn’t make it so they replaced him with some no name, Ayrton Senna.
They would race in identical 190E 2.3-16s with street tires. Guess who won?
