Mercedes-Benz has been continuously involved in the DTM, the ITC and the successor organizations since the 1980s. Klaus Ludwig's and Bernd Schneider's hussar rides are unforgettable. The most successful woman in the touring car series, Ellen Lohr, who of course drove a Mercedes, is fondly remembered.
