Stirling Moss won the 1955 Mille Miglia in a 300 SLR with an average speed of 157.65 km/h 1600 km (990 mi). He was assisted by his co-driver Denis Jenkinson who informed him with previously taken notes, ancestors to the pacenotes used in modern rallying. Juan Manuel Fangio was second in a sister car.
The 300 SLRs later scored additional world championship victories in the Tourist Trophy at Dundrod and at the Targa Florio in Sicily (both again 1-2 victories), which resulted in Mercedes winning the 1955 World Sportscar Championship.
Further non-championship victories were also scored at the Nurburging in Germany and Kristianstad in Sweden.

The Dymo tape output has much higher contrast, but has an unfortunate bow, and will not lie flat.
