Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

    How Mercedes-Benz Skirted a Racing Ban with AMG's Red Pig We Dig Into the History of the 300SEL 6.3 Racecar, and Drive the Official Modern Replica

    How Mercedes-Benz skirted a racing ban with AMG's Red Pig We dig into the history of the 300SEL 6.3 racecar, And drive the official modern replica by Andrew English // September 05, 2017 Walking up to the Red Pig (a.k.a. die Röte Sau), you’d never guess it’s actually a replica of AMG’s first-ever race car, a 300SEL 6.3 that won its class and came second overall in the 1971 Spa Francorchamps 24 hours. How that original car came to be is almost as unbelievable. Underneath the period stickers for Camel cigarettes and Levi Jeans, this car is redder than a fire engine. The surprisingly lithe shape, fashioned in thick Stuttgart steel, has been raceified with cartoonish extended wheel arches over massive tires. The conversion is both shocking and thrilling, ’70s Modsports engineering versus Paul Braque’s elegant design for the Mercedes-Benz W108/109 S-class. Climb in through the roll cage, settle in the unnerving bucket seat, and fasten four-point Willans belts. The dash is pretty standard ’60s S-class, with classy light-wood veneer and a twin-dial binnacle. A watch-sized rev counter sit in between the stock instrument cluster, complemented by a square clock as big as, um, a packet of Camels. Start it up it and the muffled growl of a big bore V-8 sounds like a box of bears. And the replica isn’t even as monstrous as the original. “It was an amazing car—enormous with huge speed,” says Hans Heyer, who drove the Red Pig, along with Clemens Schickentanz.

    The ‚DRM’ (=Deutsche Rennsport-Meisterschaft) was the most important German racing series from 1972 to 1985, which got designed to establish a title with international meaning and relevance. 14 years of touring- and sports car racing of the highest level that motorsports can offer. Classic touring cars and GT were the start: The main features of the sports gear were stripped out, lightened car bodies, performance-enhanced engines and improved suspensions, transmissions and brakes. Stronger, lighter, faster - the tubular frame designs of Group 5 coupled with the turbo age are what subsequently gave the DRM probably the best and most spectacular races. Group C ultimately heralded the end: fascinating, thoroughbred racing cars, but simply too expensive for a national championship to offer the series a future.

    Class Register Touring Car School First Grade Class of: 1998–2014 Volkswagen Motorsport GmbH, Ikarusallee 7a, D-30179 Hannover Preface 03 Dear parents, touring car students and motorsport friends! he season finale of the 2014 Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup sees us send our very last group of graduates into the world of motorsport on the back of an outstanding education. Volkswagen’s touring car school is closing, Tand can look back on some exciting, successful, and sometimes wild years with the Lupo, Polo and Scirocco Cup. And so the final chapter is added to the class register, and it is time to hand it over to you. It is full of summa cum laudae performances. It is full of fantastic memories and “Oh yes, you remember when …” experiences. It is full of stories and anecdotes. And here and there you will also find the odd reprimand, a reference to one touring car student or another crossing the line. Whatever happens, every line is worth reading. We have rummaged through the archives and dug out the remarkable, the curious, and the stories worth telling, and have put them together for you on the following pages. The class register for the touring car school is being closed once and for all. Elsewhere, another book is being opened for a completely new motorsport story, and is waiting for the first page to be filled with others’ experiences. From 2015, the Audi brand will continue the tradition of one-make touring car cups within the Volkswagen Group, and will host a new series for motorsport juniors in the form of the TT Cup.

Was it really 30 years ago that the Indy cars (or USAC cars as they were then known) came to Britain for the fi rst time? The British weather did its best to spoil John Webb’s great initiative and the fi rst three days were bedevilled by rain so that the race had to be postponed from Saturday to Sunday. But when they raced they did not disappoint with AJ Foyt, an Indianapolis legend if ever there was one, charging through from the fi fth row of the grid in his Coyote-Ford to be challenging Rick Mears in the Penske- Cosworth PC6 for the lead when the rain returned and the race was suspended. On the restart there was no stopping Anthony Joseph who surged past Rick into Stowe within a couple of laps and stayed ahead until the rain returned for a second time and that was that. Here we see the great man heading into the Woodcote chicane on his way to one of his rare wins in Europe. The small matter of the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours (with Dan Gurney) was the other.
