The 140 Places world tour pauses in Bordeaux to witness the location of the infamous Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race. Back in 1895, the race didn’t just test machines, it tested ideas. What unfolded marked one of the earliest chapters of motorsport history. Auto enthusiasts on a mission to prove that their machines could work in the real world, beyond their workshops. From the first great race to the standards we set today. Our journey continues, 140 years on. #MercedesBenz #140years
