About the car

The Sauber Mercedes C9 is a racing car produced in 1987. It was a partnership between Sauber as a constructor and Mercedes as the engine builder. The car had a soap bar-shaped, Silver Arrow body.  The car featured the Mercedes Benz M119 engine, longitudinally mounted. The car reached a speed of 400 km/h (248 mph).

In 1989, Mercedes was considering a foray into Formula 1. It picked a trio of young drivers who had filled the top three in that year’s German Formula Three championship. They were champion Karl Wendlinger and runners-up Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Michael Schumacher. The three became the top drivers for the Mercedes Junior Team.

In the 1990 season, the Sauber Mercedes Junior Team entered the Mercedes C9s for test drives at Le Castellet & Jerez. The junior test took place in 1990, with Michael finishing 5^th overall and bagging a seat for the 1991 Le Mans race.

The driver team of Michael Schumacher, Karl Wendlinger and Heinz-Harald Frentzen, all subsequently made the jump to Formula 1, the top class of racing.
