In an era dominated by the GM vs Ford contest, the advent of Group A racing in the 1980s brought in teams such as Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) from the UK who competed in a fleet of Jaguar XJS and Rover Vitesse cars. Driver Tim Slako in the Alf Barbagallo Rover Vitesse (c.1986/87) Drivers Jeff Allam and Armin Hahne drove car 61 at Bathurst in 1984 Missing a past copy of RoverNET?

  • Der Stille Schnelle – Armin Hahne – Fahrerportrait TWC 2019
    Der stille Schnelle – Armin Hahne – Fahrerportrait TWC 2019 Rainer Braun Wenn Armin Hahne (63) demnächst am Nürburgring beim Oldtimer-GP oder auch vier Wochen später im Rahmen des nächsten TWC-Laufs im DTM- Rahmenprogramm als einer der ganz heißen Titelkandidaten wieder mal ins Cockpit seines ehemaligen Würth-Sierra RS 500 mit der Startnummer 25 steigt und gemeinsam mit Fahrzeug-Eigner Volker Schneider auf Punktejagd geht, wird er bei der Passage eines bestimmten Streckenabschnitts unweigerlich an den 30. April 1989 denken. An diesem Tag, vor genau 30 Jahren, startete der Rheinländer als Ford Werksfahrer in eben jenem Ford Sierra RS 500 als einer der Top-Favoriten und konnte am Ende des Tages froh und glücklich sein, den wohl brutalsten Crash der frühen DTM-Geschichte lebend überstanden zu haben. Auf dem schnellen Bergauf-Stück nach der Dunlop-Kehre hatte sich Klaus Ludwig im Mercedes gedreht und blieb entgegen der Fahrtrichtung mitten auf der Piste stehen. Die ersten nachfolgenden Autos konnten gerade noch ausweichen, aber Hahne war die Sicht verdeckt. Als der Pulk vor ihm auseinanderfächerte, war er chancenlos. Frontal und ungebremst krachte der RS 500 in den stehenden Mercedes – bei knapp 200 km/h. So einen fürchterlichen Frontal-Crash hatte ich ebenso wie die meisten TV-Zuschauer noch nie zuvor gesehen. Ich bin damals als Kommentator der Liveübertragung in 3sat vor Schreck fast vom Stuhl gefallen und dachte im ersten Moment, dass beide tot sind. Gleich mehrere über dem Szenario schwebende Schutzengel und die seinerzeit schon sehr gute Sicherheitsausrüstung der DTM-Autos haben ermöglicht, dass beide überlebten. Hahne wurde mit komplizierten Frakturen am rechten Bein und linken Arm aus dem Wrack befreit, Ludwig kam mit Prellungen und einem Schock besser weg.

  • BMW Corporate Communications
    BMW Corporate Communications Media Information 24h Nürburgring 20th April 2017 Throw-back to maiden Nordschleife victory: Historic livery for BMW Team Schnitzer BMW M6 GT3. • BMW M6 GT3 sports special design at 24-hour race and 24-hour qualifying race. • Striped livery in BMW Motorsport colours evokes memories of the victorious BMW M3 E30 from 1989. • Farfus, Félix da Costa, Scheider and Lynn to drive the number 43 BMW M6 GT3. Munich. BMW Team Schnitzer can look back on an impressive history at the Nürburgring 24 Hours (GER). Team principal Charly Lamm’s (GER) crew has won the endurance classic in the Eifel Mountains five times in the past. To mark the team’s return to the “Green Hell” this season, the number 43 BMW M6 GT3 will sport a special, historic design. BMW Team Schnitzer wrote the first chapter of its glorious history at the Nürburgring 24 Hours back in 1989. The team from Freilassing (GER) claimed its first overall victory at the endurance classic on the Nordschleife in the same year as it won its maiden DTM title. After 143 laps of racing, eventual DTM champion Roberto Ravaglia, Emanuele Pirro (both ITA) and Fabien Giroix (FRA) crossed the finish line first in the iconic BMW M3 E30. In memory of this success BMW Team Schnitzer will return to the Eifel track in 2017 with one of the two BMW M6 GT3s sporting the same historic design as the winning car from 1989. This is a particularly special honour for Charly Lamm, who was team principal when BMW Team Schnitzer claimed its first major Nordschleife success – a role he still occupies today: “BMW Motorsport has a big tradition in motor racing, and we have been fortunate to work together for many decades.
