Silver Arrows Project : Mercedes-Benz W25 Grand Prix de I'A.C.F. Montlhery 1934
The cars and the drivers were the best in the world, but victory would elude them… for now. None of the three Mercedes W25s finished the race. All were knocked out by the 15th lap citing problems that ran the gamut from brake failure to supercharger malfunction to fuel line breakage. The team from Auto Union didn’t fare any better as not a single one of their cars crossed the finish line either. All the Silver Arrows watched in humiliation as Louis Chiron took the title for Alfa Romeo. It was a tough lesson learned, and one never to be repeated.

During the buildup to World War II, Germany dominated the Grand Prix circuit. Referred to as the Silver Arrows for their stripped-down metallic appearance, these super cars built by Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union took their place in auto-racing history due to their incredible performance in some of the most iconic races ever witnessed.
Our project recreates the story of the Silver Arrows using memorable moments from 12 different races and highlighting details that could never have been captured with the photographic technology of the time.
