MILFORD, Conn., Feb. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2016, FCP Euro competed in a grueling American Endurance Racing season with a BMW e30. The car completed 83 hours of racing and finished 8th out of 118 cars. Joining the BMW e30 in 2017 will be a newly built 2010 Mercedes-Benz C300.
"I'm really excited to see people's reaction to having a Mercedes C300 out on a race track," says Nate Vincent, Director of Motorsport at FCP Euro. "After growing up around BMW's, this is a challenge I'm really looking forward to. American Endurance Racing is one of the top endurance racing series in the country, and the C300 is a fantastic platform to represent FCP Euro."
