In this thrilling photograph, Argentine racing legend Carlos Reutemann (#3) skillfully overtakes French Formula One champion Alain Prost (#20) during the opening race of the new Nurburgring circuit in Germany on May 12, 1984. The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cup cars, with their distinctive red and white liveries, roar around the iconic Nordschleife (North Loop) section of the track, pushing their engines to the limit. The Nurburgring, located in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany, is renowned for its challenging and demanding layout, making it a favorite among drivers and racing enthusiasts. The opening of the new circuit marked a significant moment in motorsport history, attracting top drivers and teams from around the world. The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cup cars, powered by a high-performance 16-valve engine, were a force to be reckoned with on the track. Reutemann, a seasoned racer with multiple Formula One podium finishes under his belt, expertly navigates the winding turns and steep inclines of the Nordschleife, leaving Prost in his wake. The tension between the two drivers was palpable, as they vied for position in the grueling race. Reutemann's bold move pays off, as he successfully passes Prost, who would go on to become a four-time Formula One World Champion. This photograph captures the raw energy and excitement of motorsport at its finest, as the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cup cars battle it out on the legendary Nurburgring circuit.
