The new main sponsors for the Mercedes-AMG DTM team for the next two seasons will be none other than Mercedes-Benz Service and Parts (Mercedes-Benz Original-Teile). Christian Vietoris’s Mercedes-AMG C-Coupe will therefore get a new livery for this year, with the car, his helmet, racing overalls and even his team’s transporters to sport the distinctive Mercedes-Benz Original-Teile logo and colors.
“I’ve always liked the look of my DTM cars, and nothing has changed this season in that respect. The Mercedes-Benz Original-Teile brand stands for first-class materials and the perfect matching of function and vehicle – it’s precisely those qualities that are needed in the DTM.
I can hardly wait to get out on track in my new Original-Teile Mercedes AMG C-Coupé. To achieve my first DTM victory this season in it would be just brilliant. At any rate, the car’s appearance makes it look a winner already!” said Christian Vietoris, who was last season’s top-ranked Mercedes-Benz driver.
As some of you know, Mercedes-Benz Service and Parts is the brand in charge of the global service and parts business for both the three-pointed star and the smart cars, while also being responsible for all logistics and operations for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and vans, smart cars and Daimler trucks worldwide. Christian Vietoris’ Mercedes-AMG C-Coupe with Original-Teile livery will jump into a race for the first time during the DTM season opener on May 4th, at the Hockenheimring circuit in Baden-Württemberg.
