Manfred von Brauchitsch leads Luigi Fagioli, both in Mercedes W25A's at the start of the 1934 Eifelrennen. Initially the cars had been painted white, but exceeded the new 750Kg weight limit. The decision was left to Alfred Neubauer who ordered the mechanics to strip the paint from both cars. Hence the 'Silver Arrows' were born. Manfred von Brauchitsch went on to win the race, defeating opposition from Auto Union, Ferrari, Maserati and Bugatti.
