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.

    Herbert Linge – 'Mr Do Everything' At

    Herbert Linge – ‘Mr Do Everything’ at Porsche Weissach-born Herbert Linge is part of the history of Porsche – and Porsche has in turn played a major role in the life of Herbert Linge. His first plant ID was dated 7 April 1943. Herbert Linge raced at a number of circuits all over the world, entering the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 11 occasions, winning the 1963 German GT championship and taking the Porsche 356 to victory at the Tour de Corse with Paul-Ernst Strähle in 1960. But there is more to this story: Porsche had an influence on his whole working life, as his plant ID dated 7 April 1943 showed only too well. ‘I was one of the first apprentices to join Porsche,’ recalled Linge, who was born in Weissach in 1928. In 1949, he was the first mechanic hired by Porsche once the company had been re-established in Stuttgart. As with all employees at the fledgling firm, Linge served as a jack of all trades and was quickly given the role of test driver. The racing drivers recognised the value of having a colleague with hands-on experience of every last bolt on the car. In 1952, 1953 and 1954, Linge was responsible for setting up the Porsche cars that achieved class wins at the Carrera Panamericana. Linge enjoyed frequent success in the cockpit. Serving as Hans Herrmann’s co-driver at the 1954 Mille Miglia, he was on hand to experience Herrmann’s legendary manoeuvre that saw the car zoom across a level crossing as the gates were closing – and subsequently record a class win.

With this audio magazine, we want to bring the world of Porsche closer to you and answer some interesting questions. Once a month I welcome two guests to our podcast studio, here at the heart of our brand, the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen, Stuttgart, where we have a view of the Porsche sculpture of three white 911 cars from different generations. My name is Sebastian Rudolph and I am responsible for Communications, Sustainability and Politics at Porsche AG. Today, as the moderator, I would like to take you, the listeners, with me to the race track. At least figuratively, because our podcast is about the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Porsche achieved its first overall victory there 50 years ago – it is still legendary – and since then we have achieved 19 overall victories, which is a great record! Together we will immerse ourselves in the 24 most famous hours in the world, where technology and tactics combine. We ask ourselves the question: what actually makes Le Mans such a unique race? I am delighted to welcome two excellent connoisseurs of motorsport, and in particular of the Le Mans race, Norbert Singer and Timo Bernhard. And so that you, the listeners, also know who you are dealing with, let me first introduce them to you.
  • 356 Registry 33-4

    356 Registry 33-4

    uring the early Porsche days of the 1950s and ‘60s, Denise McCluggage Dand Ruth Levy were two of the more popular U.S. women sports car racers. In Eu- rope, Gilberte Thirion and Annie Bousquet are the two most recognized women racers during A Racing Lady this period. Similar in age, they began as close friends but apparently racing changed this. His- young and daring torians claim Annie’s fierce competitive nature caused her to not only lose a friend but to even- tually lose her life. Born Annie Schaffer in Vienna, Austria, her exact birth year is debated but apparently falls somewhere between 1921 and 1925. Annie’s French identity is the result of her marriage to Pierre Bousquet whom she first met while he was a POW in Austria during the war. After the Annie Bousquet marriage, the couple moved to France. Legend has it that Bousquet’s racing career began as the result of a 1952 ski trip. Having in- jured herself, she was recuperating in a Ses- triere, Italy hotel bar where she met Gigi Viloresi and Alberto Ascari. Annie was overwhelmed by their exciting racing escapades and a few months later she entered the Rally Sestriere. Some writers state that Bousquet raced with Al- berto Ascari but this seems highly unlikely. As- cari was the 1951 Formula One World Champion and was driving for Scuderia Ferrari at the time. So it seems very unlikely he would have teamed up with a neophyte woman. The records show Bousquet did enter two other races in 1952. The first was the July Alpine Rally where she drove a Renault 4CV but broke the gearbox in Col d’Izoard on the first leg.

Biography: Herbert Linge began his motor racing career rather as a 15 year old apprentice mechanic at Porsche KG in 1943. After the war, he worked on the initial development of the Porsche 356. In the early 1950s, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche commissioned Linge to develop the Porsche service network in the United States and train mechanics at Porsche dealerships. Thus, he played a critical role in popularizing Porsche sports cars in North America. Linge was a mechanic assigned to the Porsche entrants in the early Carrera Panamericana races and in 1954 was tapped as a driver. Thus began his Linge’s long period of success in the great endurance races and rallies of the 1950s and 1960s. From 1958 until 1970 Linge drove a Porsche eleven times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and beginning in 1955 through 1965 he drove a Porsche seven times in the 12 Hours of Sebring.

The endurance and Monoposto specialist, born in Stuttgart in 1928, is regarded as one of the most reliable and consistent race drivers of all time. In the course of his motor sport career, Hans Herrmann won more than 80 overall and best in class victories, most of them for Porsche. www.porscheroadandrace.com Mille Miglia, 1954: Hans Herrmann and Herbert Linge after their victory www.porscheroadandrace.com The proverbial Hans im Glück (Hans in luck) at the wheel celebrated his greatest successes with sports cars from Zuffenhausen: in the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, the Carrera Panamericana and of course in Le Mans, with the first overall victory for Porsche in 1970, driving a 917. His career began appropriately, in 1952, in a private Porsche 356, in which he took part in hill climbs, rallies and reliability runs. The very next year, he came fifth in the Lyon-Charbonnières Rally together with Richard von Frankenberg in a Porsche 356. Thereupon Porsche’s racing manager at that time, Huschke von Hanstein, brought him into Porsche works team. In 1953, Herrmann made his debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans where, together with co-pilot Helm Glöckler in a Porsche 550 Coupé, he secured a best in class victory in the category up to 1.5 litres capacity.
