Mexico, similar to the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio in Italy.
After the Mexican section of the Panamerican Highway was completed in the early 1950s, a race was established to celebrate this road.
In 1952, the Mercedes-Benz of Kling/Klenk won with a 300 SL Gullwing despite a vulture had hit the windscreen and injured the codriver.
Due to safety concerns, the high speed race was discontinued in the late 1950s.
