#6 Mercedes CLK GTLM
Drivers: Bernd Schneider / Franck Lagorce / Pedro Lamy

#5 Mercedes CLK GTLM
Christophe Bouchut, Nick Heidfeld, and Peter Dumbreck

One of the most beautiful racing cars ever made disappeared from screens and from books, museums and shops forever. The accident in the early evening hours of June 1999 at Le Mans was tragic and happy at the same time, for the driver and for the whole event itself. Dumbreck (and Webber in qualifying) survived a horrific accident. Nevertheless, this car belongs in the artist's top ten when it comes to design and beauty.
