Since beginning of 2003 I'm working on restaurations and maintenance of different racecars from the Carl-Benz-Museum, Ladenburg - Germany.
These cars are usually started at hillclimb- and circuitevents as the Langenburg Classic Hillclimb, the Historic Hillclimb in Tübingen or the Hockenheim Classic Racing days.
After filling the position as a race mechanic, I got the opportunity to be the co-driver of my friend Peter with his De Dion - Bouton Grand Prix car from
1908 at several races (Nuerburgring, Langenburg....)

My start on the Retromotor Tuebingen Hillclimb with our Museum-owned Porsche 356 Gran Tourismo was cut short from a oil leak just minutes
before race start.
