Mercedes AMG Petronas to Hold Fans Forum in Stuttgart

Mercedes AMG Petronas to Hold Fans Forum in Stuttgart  阅读原文»

We're not even done with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend and we're already getting some more action slated for after that. This is after Mercedes-Benz announced that the Mercedes AMG Petronas team will be holding a German FOTA Fans Forum in Stuttgart on July 18, days before the Mercedes home race at Hockenheimring for the German Grand Prix on July 22.

At the Forum, fans will be able to throw questions out to distinguished German F1 drivers like Mercedes AMG Petronas duo Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg, Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, and Marussia's Timo Glock, as well as Mercedes-Benz Motorsport head Norbert Haug. Only 200 pre-registered fans will be accommodated.

Schumacher noted that holding the Forum before the race is an excellent kickoff. "That shows we've got our priorities right. And it's especially good that our German colleagues from other teams will be there, too. It's nice for Mercedes to be taking an active role and hosting the event for the other guys."

"I'm looking forward to seeing the German fans and it's a great opportunity to meet them talk about Formula One," said Rosberg. "Make sure you're there, it's going to be worth it!"

Well, for those who are in Stuttgart and those who can afford to go there to witness the Fans Forum in person, good for you. For the rest of us, maybe we'll just watch with envy.

2015 C-Class Spotted [Spy Shots]  阅读原文»

New spy shots of the upcoming next-gen C-Class have surfaced on the Web, and the new batch provides those who are eagerly anticipating the 2015 model with some additional details for the exterior, and even some insights into the interior.

The 2015 C-Class seems to sport some minor revisions to the overall profile of the previous model. Some of the exterior parts are still shrouded, as are most of the interior furnishings.

It has been confirmed that one-fifth of the overall production will be coming from the automaker's Tuscaloosa, Alabama facility. Having a good percentage of the production done in the US is good in that the units will be much closer to the intended market. While manufacturing overseas can be more cost-efficient, the US facility offers faster delivery and eliminates shipping costs.

Check out the gallery for the spy shots of the 2015 C-Class, which is set to be launched sometime between late 2014 or early 2015.
