I have endeavoured to try and provide as up-to-date and accurate information as possible for everyone featured on this site, and I am always indebted to the many contributors who help with the information on this site and sadly, space doesn't allow for me to thank everyone here. However, I would like to dedicate the ongoing work, progress and achievements on this site to those contributors who are sadly no longer with us but helped aide this project so much: Len Calinoff, Phil Harms, Gene Heeter, Earl Ma, Don Radbruch and Roscoe H Rann.
Updates and corrections are always welcomed — please either join the debate here or feel free to contact me on with any information you might have.
This part of the site is also dedicated to the memory of Tony Marsh, as it was his post-Grand Prix life that served as the initial inspiration for "Where Are They Now" back in 1998 For more about what this part of the site is trying to achieve, please read my full introduction.

Hans has raced continually in a number of disciplines for over 25 years, but has cut down his racing activites in recent years. Despite this, he raced with much acclaim, in the GP Masters series, and has also tried truck racing recently. He still aims for one Le Mans attempt with his sons and one Paris-Dakar attempt if time allows. He started racing with one of his sons, Johannes, in a German endurance championship, but suffered a huge crash in 2007, in which he was badly hurt and it took him time to recover. However, he still races for now, mainly in endurance events for Volkswagen. Was a consultant/driver coach for BMW, but now does this role with Volkswagen. Lives in Kitzbuehel, Austria and also works in TV and has his own website. Read interview. (Last updated 24 Jan 2010) |
