Hans has raced continually in a number of disciplines for over 25 years, but in 2011, retired for good after the Nurburgring 24 Hour race, in which he competed in with his sons. He raced with much acclaim, in the GP Masters series, and has also tried truck racing recently. A bad crash in 2007 in which he was badly hurt and a blood clot in 2010 hampered and overshadowed recent events. Was a consultant/driver coach for BMW, then Volkswagen, but is also involved with Porsche. Lives in Kitzbuehel, Austria and also works in TV and has his own website. Stuck was also heavily involved in motorsport administration as he was the head of the DMSB, the German Motorsports Federation until 2020. In 2021, he made a surprise return to racing in the GT2 European Series, but largely just does historic events now.
