The festival featured five "Silver Arrows" from different eras, with highlights including the driving of the W 196 R (1955) and Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance (2022) single-seaters in the celebration of 75 years of Formula 1.

Also presented was the duo of Formula 1 W 196 R and 300 SLR (W 196 S) single-seaters, the former driven by Juan Manuel Fangio to win the 1954 and 1955 championships.

A W 196 R Streamliner was auctioned for €51.55 million, while a 300 SLR "Uhlenhaut Coupé" was sold for €135 million in 2022.
