The car’s a Mercedes Gullwing, the team is the IWC Historic Racing Team, the driver is David Coulthard and the watch is the new limited-edition 76th Members’ Meeting Ingenieur Chronograph Sport Edition. All of them made their debut at a snowy Motor Circuit on Saturday.
‘DC’ is making his MM debut driving the 300SL Gullwing in the Salvadori Cup, ahead of other historic events for the new team, including the Le Mans Classic.
“This will be the first time we have raced our own car at Goodwood,” IWC’s CEO Chris Grainger tells GRR. “We have been at the Members’ Meeting since 2015 but I didn’t like the idea that we were standing on the sidelines. We are already in Formula 1 and GT3 so it was logical for us to start a historic race team.”
David Coulthard said he was looking forward to driving the Gullwing in the Salvadori Cup, where he will be up against Jaguar D-Types and Birdcage Maseratis.
