The LeMans Challenge! (mail-in)
edit: double post
(I don't recall seeing pics of Nazi Staff cars racing at LeMans )
LeMans was dominated by the French and English in the pre-war years, but Mercedes was still very active in Grand Prix racing @ that time. However, the 540k was considered as a luxury car...although it does have similarly styled 'siblings' that may have swapped paint w/ the big Bentleys @ "Cirque de La Sarthe" as independent entries.
NerveHammer, Have you decided where you want us to send our cars yet?
Been working on one today:

the 540 is out...looks like it's a jag type D for fast fred.... and carl, what year DUNLOP did you put the blue wheels on ?
Open-track racing?...does that mean, like...AGGRESSIVE racing? That's what Fastest of the Fastest Racing Team lives for!
So here's my deal; I can host up to three races.
Race #1: A standard drag strip, 20 (give or take a few) feet long (I could shorten the hill and lengthen the straight, if you want, for a more Endurance effect).
Race #2: A 4 to 5-foot four-lane track (The Five-Foot Endurance Race).
Race #3: A...probably six-to-eight foot loop track (one loop-de-loop for each of the two lanes).
The best time for us to race would be around the week after New Year's, as that is when we're also hosting Dueling Deliveries. None of the above are open-track; please let me know what you think of these ideas.
Any update on where we send our car yet? It's getting close.
Yes; and please let me know if any of my tracks are acceptable--or if this will even be at multiple houses.

I will have an answer tomorrow.

Sounds good to me!
Awesome! Always happy to host!

I couldnt find any image of a racing/rally Mercedes 540k anywhere...sooo
