Legendary racing driver Hans Herrmann celebrates his 85th birthday on 23 February 2013. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, the endurance and Monoposto specialist 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 of class victories.
\nThe proverbial \u201cHans im Gl\u00fcck\u201d (Hans in Luck) at the wheel celebrated his greatest successes with sports cars from Porsche: 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, he took part in hill climbs, rallies and reliability runs. The very next year, he came fifth in the Lyon-Charbonni\u00e8res Rally, together with Richard von Frankenberg in a Porsche 356.
\nThereupon Porsche\u2019s racing manager at that time, Huschke von Hanstein, brought him into Porsche works team. In 1953, Herrmann went to the start for the first time in the 24 Hours of Le Mans where, together with co-pilot Helm Gl\u00f6ckler in a Porsche 550 Coup\u00e9, he gained a best of class victory in the category up to 1.5 liters capacity at his very first try.
\nAfter Herrmann had also secured the title of German Sports Car Champion in the same year, he attracted the attention of Mercedes-Benz head of racing Alfred Neubauer, who integrated the 26-year-old into his works team along with Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss and Karl Kling. Parallel to this, in 1954 Herrmann continued to start for Porsche and gained prestigious class victories in the 550 Spyder in the Mille Miglia and the Carrera Panamericana.
\nNever to be forgotten is the spectacular incident that occurred during the Mille Miglia in 1954, when Herrmann and his co-pilot Herbert Linge ducked flat under the barriers to cross the rails at a closed level crossing, right in the path of a rapidly approaching train. Later, Herrmann made a photo of the spectacular moment the subject of a letter card, with the inscription \u201cGl\u00fcck muss man haben\u201d (\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be lucky\u201d). In conversation, he completed this definition in a much more serious undertone: \u201cGl\u00fcck hat, wer als Rennfahrer \u00fcberlebt.\u201d (\u201cLuck, for a racing driver, is to survive\u201d).<\/p>\n

In the very first race of the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows at the French Grand Prix of 1954 in Reims, Herrmann drove the fastest lap time, 2:32.9 minutes \u2013 corresponding to an average speed of 195.463 km\/h. Over the course of the season he took two Grand Prix podium places, in the 1954 Swiss Grand Prix and the 1954 Avus race, in each case coming 3rd.<\/p>\n

When in 1955 the Daimler-Benz works withdrew from motor sport, Hans Herrmann was at the start again for Porsche. There followed the wandering years with Maserati, B.R.M and Borgward and, in 1959, the next homecoming to Herrmann\u2019s \u2018own brand\u2019, Porsche. Together with Olivier Gendebien in a Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder, he won the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring, achieving Porsche\u2019s first overall victory in a manufacturers\u2019 world championship endurance race. Shortly afterwards, the combination Hans Herrmann\/Porsche RS 60 Spyder, together with Joakim Bonnier, also won the round Sicily \u2018Targa Florio\u2019. In 1960, Herrmann also became Formula 2 European Champion with the Porsche 718\/2.<\/p>\n

In 1962 he changed to Carlo Abarth and was active as works driver for the Vienna design engineer from 1963. Three years later, in 1966, he returned to the Porsche works team once again. Not only did Herrmann take part in all the great endurance races, besides driving European hill climb championship courses; he also carried out countless test drives in the \u2013 then newly-opened \u2013 Weissach Development Center.
\nIn 1969 the Porsche works team, with pilots Hans Herrmann, Jo Siffert, Vic Elford, Rolf Stommelen, Udo Sch\u00fctz and Gerhard Mitter, gained the manufacturers\u2019 world championship title for Porsche for the first time. Previously, Hans Herrmann had finally had to hand the victory to Jacky Ickx in a Ford GT 40 after 24 hours of fierce fighting, owning himself beaten by 120 meters in one of the most thrilling Le Mans races of all time. One year later, things went better for him: in his eleventh Le Mans he was able to gain Porsche\u2019s first overall victory.<\/p>\n

After capping his success in motor racing with the Le Mans victory of 1970, Herrmann withdrew from active motor racing that same year, at the height of his career. From then on he would devote himself above all to his automotive accessories business. But the \u201cbirthday boy\u201d has retained close links with the world of motorsport to this day \u2013 above all as a brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz Classic.
\nThese days Hans Herrmann is regularly to be found behind the wheel of historical Mercedes-Benz competition vehicles, as a guest at any one of a variety of classic events, where he is able to convey to visitors the fascination of an important period in motor racing.
\n\u201cOur congratulations to our brand ambassador Hans Herrmann, who has been a good friend of Mercedes-Benz for almost 60 years now,\u201d commented Michael Bock, Head of Mercedes-Benz Classic, expressing his thanks to Herrmann for his contribution to keeping the brand\u2019s heritage alive.<\/p>\n
