Chassis:
Chassis 04 was first seen in the fall of 1990 when it practiced but did not race at the Donnington round of the World Championship. An electric problem in the warm-up prevented it from taking part in the race. Jochen Mass and Karl Wendlinger drove it to a ninth at the subsequent Montreal race. Chassis 04 then served as a spare or T-Car for several events until it was put back on track for the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. Fifteen hours into the race the engine failed, causing a premature end to the race for Jonathan Palmer, Stanley Dickens and Kurt Thiim. Retained by Mercedes-Benz, it is today part of the museum collection and regularly exercised at events like the Goodwood Festival of Speed. In 2007, it was demonstrated by the late Jochen Mass and then brought again in 2025 to remember Mass, who had passed away two months earlier.
