Hans Joachim Stuck

Hans-Joachim Stuck is one of the top sports car champions of his generation and the successor of his famous father’s legacy. Stuck proved himself a more than capable racer, achieving two F1 podiums in 1977 for Brabham.

He won the World Sports car title in 1985 and the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1986 and 1989. In 1990 he became German Touring Car Champion with Audi. Following in the footsteps of his father, Hans has also made his mark at international hill-climb races. Although Hans officially retired from the Formula One racing scene in 1995, he has been Formula One columnist in 1997 for BILD, Germany’s biggest newspaper, and in 1999 he won the American Le Mans Series GT Personality of the Year Award. Hans has been involved in various activities: he was named an honorary lifetime commander for his contribution to the elite GSG-9 anti-terrorist troops in Germany and is also an ambassador for Miami-based Dolphin Aid. In 2008, he took on the role of motor sport representative for Volkswagen.
