RALLY

The initial plans from Mercedes with the 190 E were to compete in international rallying, but because of the succesfull 4WD cars the Mercedes would have been without standing a chance. This however didn’t hold back privateers to go rallying with the 190 E 2.3-16. There was no official factory rally team and most teams were private teams. I have named the drivers of which I have information and pictures of their cars. If you have information of photos to complete this page please send them to me.
