Last year, invitation said 50 cars will participate in the rally but 70 turned up. The event also celebrated Mercedes-Benz's first ever FIA F1 'World Constructor's Championship' victory alongside the 120 year anniversary of their participation in motorsport. At the start of 2014 event, Eberhard Kern, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said, "Mercedes-Benz made history by participating in the world's first automobile competition in 1894. Having won its first Grand Prix in 1908 and many more accolades it is remarkable to see it do so well in its first outing at the F1 after the major change in rules."
