The Right Place at the Right Time www.porscheroadandrace.com Double blow for the world of Porsche motorsport Published: 19th March 2021 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/double-blow-for-the-world-of-porsche-motorsport/ www.porscheroadandrace.com Sabine Schmitz at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, 20 May 2012 www.porscheroadandrace.com It is with great sadness that we bring you the news this week of the passing of not one, but two, significant names in the world of Porsche motorsport. Mosport 1000 km, 11 August 1985: (From L-R) Manfred Kremer, Manfred Winkelhock and Marc Surer in discussion prior to the race We were informed on Tuesday that Manfred Kremer passed away at the age of 81 years, and then on Wednesday, we got the news that Sabine Schmitz, the ‘Queen of the Nürburgring’ had also passed away. These two personalities, although a generation apart, brought success and exposure to the Porsche brand in very different ways. Manfred Kremer: 1940-2021 www.porscheroadandrace.com Mario Andretti visited the Porsche race department in Weissach in 1983 – (from the left) Helmuth Bott with Peter Falk and Mario Andretti. On the extreme right is Manfred Kremer with Erwin Kremer third from right The Kremer brothers, together with friend Hermann Bürvenich, started their workshop in 1962 in Cologne, Germany. The elder brother, Erwin, was the racing driver while Manfred, the quiet one, was the engineer who preferred to stay in the background. Kremer Racing grew from strength to strength and in 1970 they entered a Porsche 911 ST in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They finished seventh overall that year, and so began the team’s climb up the ladder with bigger and better cars until in the late ‘70s Kremer modified the Porsche factory’s cars to their own specification. This resulted in the 935 K3 with which the team won the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans outright, the first Porsche privateer team to do so in the www.porscheroadandrace.com history of the race. The Kremer Racing headquarters in Cologne, photographed by the author during a visit on 30 July 2007 There followed another 24-hour victory, this time in the 1995 Daytona race with their K8, an open-topped Spyder version of the 962, but featuring their own chassis design. The Kremers were always pushing the design and development envelope and it showed in their record of achievements. www.porscheroadandrace.com Daytona-Le Mans Trophy 1976-1977 proudly on display in the Kremer Racing headquarters in Cologne, 30 July 2007 www.porscheroadandrace.com It was Manfred who masterminded the K-series bodywork modifications (K1, K2, K3 and K4), and after their ’79 Le Mans win, he went on to develop the CK5, CK6, K7 and K8 models. Manfred retired in ’98 and moved back and forth between his holiday home in Spain, and his home in Germany, but after the death of his brother Erwin in 2006, he bought the company back in order to preserve the family name. After almost five decades of success in the motorsport industry, Manfred sold the company in 2010 to a private entrepreneur. www.porscheroadandrace.com 1995 Rolex Daytona 24 winners’ trophy proudly on display in the Kremer Racing headquarters in Cologne, 30 July www.porscheroadandrace.com 2007 The legend of Kremer Racing rose to become a real force in the world of sportscar and GT racing, with the likes of John Fitzpatrick, Derek Bell, Bob Wollek and many other top names driving for the team from Cologne. The days when a small operation such as the Kremer brothers built are probably long gone, but their memory will live on for many years to come. The Kremer Racing headquarters in Cologne, photographed by the author during a visit on 15 August 2008 Sabine Schmitz: 1969-2021 www.porscheroadandrace.com Hotel am Tiergarten which is located not far from the main entrance to the Nürburgring circuit (18 June 2019) Born in Adenau, Sabine Schmitz is the only woman to have won the Nürburgring 24 Hours, not once but twice! But before her racing career, Schmitz trained as a Hotelfachfrau (graduate in hotel and catering business) and was particularly knowledgeable in wines. This was probably her expected career seeing that she and her two sisters grew up in the Hotel am Tiergarten, right alongside the entrance to the Nürburgring circuit. www.porscheroadandrace.com Münsterlandpokal, Nürburgring, 26 October 2013: Deutscher Motorsport Verband (DMV) Münsterland Cup is part of the VLN series at the famous Nürburgring where (from L-R) Patrick Huisman, Henri Moser (behind), Sabine Schmitz and Klaus Abbelen (hand on cap) finished second in their #30 Porsche 911 GT3 R Although all three sisters took to racing, but it was Sabine who embraced the sport in a big way, quickly making a name for herself. In 1996, Sabine became the first female to win the Nürburgring 24 Hours, driving a BMW M3 together with Johannes Scheid and Hans Widmann. Not content with just that one win, she repeated the victory the following year driving a BMW M3 with Johannes Scheid, Hans-Jürgen Tiemann and Peter Zakowski. www.porscheroadandrace.com ADAC Reinoldus-Langstreckenrennen, VLN-series, 5 July 2014: Klaus Abbelen, Sabine Schmitz, and Patrick Huisman finished first overall in the #30 Frikadelli Racing Team 911 GT3 R. Here their car rounds the famous Carraciola-Karussell Sabine Schmitz became famous around the world for her rides around the ‘Ring in her taxi, a BMW M5. Sabine’s warm charm and outgoing character earned her many friends and supporters around the world. Along with her husband, Klaus Abbelen, they formed the Frikadelli Racing team, a top Porsche racing team. Not content with only staying on the ground, Sabine Schmitz was also a qualified helicopter pilot. www.porscheroadandrace.com ADAC Reinoldus-Langstreckenrennen, VLN-series, 5 July 2014: The victors were (partly obscured, second from left) Klaus Abbelen, Patrick Huisman (behind) and Sabine Schmitz (centre front) In July 2020, Sabine Schmitz revealed on Facebook that she had been suffering from ‘an extremely persistent cancer’ since late 2017. Although it was thought that the disease was in remission, it was not, and she died on 16 March. There is speculation that the owners of the Nürburgring will consider naming a corner or a part of the Nordschleife after Sabine, which would be a fitting tribute to such a vivacious and memorable character who did so much to lift the name of the Nürburgring. www.porscheroadandrace.com VLN-series, Nürburgring, 21 October 2017: The #30 Porsche 911 GT3 R driven by Klaus Abbelen, Sabine Schmitz and Andreas Ziegler finished in 13th place overall In closing The world of motorsport, and Porsche racing in particular, has lost two much admired and highly respected personalities. All the staff at Porsche Road & Race, would like to extend their heartfelt sympathies to the two families. Note It is in the basement of the Hotel am Tiergarten that the Pistenklause restaurant is located. My first visit to the Nürburgring was in 2019 with my wife, and we had been strongly advised to call in and have a meal in this establishment. It was a beautiful sunny summers day, and we had just spent a week covering the Le Mans 24 Hours, so we were in racing www.porscheroadandrace.com mode, and a meal in a ‘racing’ restaurant was just the ticket. What a gem of a place, so be advised to pay this restaurant a visit when next at the circuit! Inside the Pistenklause restaurant located in the basement of the Hotel am Tiergarten which is situated not far from the main entrance to the Nürburgring circuit (18 June 2019) Written by: Glen Smale Images by: Porsche Archive and Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale.

Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.
