Mercedes 190E racing @ Sebring - October 28th and 29th
Hi Guys
Thought I'd post this here, in case anyone is interested.
I've moved from a Formula Mazda Sportsracer into a Mercedes 190E which I plan on competing in the 2007 PBOC Championship. I won the PBOC R3 Championship last event, and its time to move on to other challenges - finding a 190E Racecar in Florida means that I'm going to be able to fulfill my dream of competing a Mercedes in the PBOC Race Championship (PBOC stands for "Porsche/BMW Owners Club")
If anyone is interested, PBOC's website is located at :: PBOC Motorsports Club :: and my racing website is located at Jon Steel dot com home page
In the meantime, here is a picture of the newly completed Mercedes - the first event will be at Sebring in Florida on 28th and 29th October if any MBWorld posters are interested. There is no charge for entry to the track, and I'll be very happy to talk about the car to anyone that might want to turn up ! We'll be taking in-car video and posting it onto google just like the mazda (check pboc - Google Video)
We are planning on painting the car in Klaus Ludwig DTM colors for 2007 - the car has approximately the same performance as the original DTM car and should certainly give many of the porsche's and BMW's a run for their money.

That is one nice looking machine. Clean, work attention to details. The guys in this part of the forum are true track fans. We'd be excited to hear about your campaign.
Good luck with it.

All the info is on the 190 Revolution website (http://www.190revolution.net) - there was a terrific group that turned up on Saturday for the race from the website, so I thought they deserved the blog and all the info over there ! I'll be updating my website on http://www.jonsteel.com with the same info pretty soon.
However, if you really want to see a Mercedes at Sebring - heres the onboard video I took on Saturday - enjoy !
