In 1984, Niki Lauda wanted to celebrate the re-configured, and much safer, Nurburgring.

 So the Austrian and Mercedes organized a 12-lap race with 20 racing legends.  They included:

• Lauda, of course

• Jack Brabham

• Phil Hill

• James Hunt

• Alan Jones

• Stirling Moss

• Alain Prost

• Carlos Reutemann

• Keke Rosberg

• Jody Scheckter

• John Surtees 

Apparently, Emerson Fittipaldi couldn’t make it so they replaced him with some no name, Ayrton Senna.

They would race in identical 190E 2.3-16s with street tires.  Guess who won?
