Goodwood Celebrates 60 Years of the Mercedes-Benz SL at Festival of Speed 2012

At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed (28 June – 1 July) the annual vehicle display along the Walk of Fame red carpet will celebrate the diamond jubilee of the popular Mercedes-Benz SL. The 60 year evolution of the Mercedes-Benz SL will be presented at the 2012 Festival of Speed.

The Mercedes-Benz SLs will be displayed on the Walk of Fame along the BlackRock Drivers’ Club Walkway, where over 100 top motor sport competitors appear, including Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Alain Prost, Nico Rosberg, Mark Webber, Sir Stirling Moss, John Surtees, Kenny Roberts and Steve Webster.

A representation of each of the six generations of the Mercedes-Benz SL will line the BlackRock Drivers’ Club walkway to form a historic backdrop. All of the drivers and riders participating in this summer’s Festival of Speed will appear on the walkway leading into the BlackRock Drivers’ Club.
