>>much stuff about the history of BRG deleted<<
>>Thereafter, British racing green became the official U.K. color in
international competition. (The race was won by Camille Jenatzy driving a Sixty
Mercedes.)"<<
^^This last bit got the trivia portion of my brain
going, and something just didn't seem right. Please
correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure this doesn't need to
be asked..), but didn't this Jenatzy fellow win this
race in a Daimler-Benz, and soon afterwards this model
line would be named after his daughter, Mercedes ? I
have honestly read something to this effect long ago.
