"We are delighted to have signed this sponsorship agreement with EURONICS and to be welcoming the largest retail cooperative group of its kind in Europe to the Mercedes-Benz motorsport family. The DTM is the perfect platform for raising the profile of the EURONICS brand amongst the consumer group who take a keen interest in motor racing. We are all the more pleased because the involvement of EURONICS with the AMG Mercedes C Coupé will play a major role in the group's own marketing communications - in print, online and on TV. And there is also an apt tie in with the EURONICS advertising slogan: Only the very best gets a star."
