Hans-Joachim "Strietzel" Stuck (born January 1, 1951 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen ) is a German motorsport official and former automobile racing driver . He competed in Formula 1 between 1974 and 1979 , won the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1986 and 1987 and was German touring car champion in 1990 .
Childhood and youth
As the son of the “mountain king” Hans Stuck (1900–1978) and his wife Christa-Maria Stuck (1921–2014), he was able to gain experience at the Nürburgring as a teenager , as his father held driver training courses there. With a special permit, he got his driver's license at the age of 16. In 1969 he won the sports driver course at Scuderia Hanseat and earned an international racing license with success in smaller races .
Career
1970s
In 1970 the only 19 year old “nature boy” with years of experience at the side of Clemens Schickentanz won the first 24-hour race on the Nürburgring in a BMW 2002 TI from the Koepchen racing team . He was able to repeat this success in 1998 (on BMW 320d ) and 2004 (on BMW M3 GTR ).
In 1971 Stuck became a works driver for BMW in the European Touring Car Championship . He also made his first steps in Formula 2 and also developed his trademark, the blue helmet with white stars around the visor opening.
In the wake of his mentor Jochen Neerpasch , Stuck moved to Ford in 1972 and was, among other things, German touring car champion on a Ford Capri .
Back at BMW, the “King of Hockenheim” celebrated victories in Formula 2 on a March with a Bavarian engine. These successes resulted in sold out racetracks, especially at the Hockenheimring , where Formula 2 made guest appearances up to three times a year, including the Jim Clark Memorial Race .
In Formula 1 from 1974 to 1976 , Stuck scored a total of eight world championship points for March- Ford . In 1977 , Stuck was initially intended to be the driver of the newly founded German Formula 1 team ATS . Before the first race of the new team, however, Stuck presented himself with a great opportunity: As a replacement for the Brazilian Carlos Pace , who died in a plane crash , he was given a cockpit for Bernie Ecclestone's Brabham team . Here he finished third in his Brabham - Alfa Romeo V12 in both of his home races, the German Grand Prix at the Hockenheimring and the Austrian Grand Prix at the Österreichring . At the Grand Prix of the USA East , he fell out in the lead after 15 laps with clutch problems. For the 1978 season he had to cede his place in the team to the newcomer Niki Lauda .
For Shadow ( 1978 ) and ATS ( 1979 ) Stuck was able to score points in the following years, but missed the chance to switch to the Williams team just before they achieved their first major successes. After that, his Formula 1 career was over, especially since his height of around 194 cm was unsuitable in view of technical developments. In order to be able to accommodate the fuel tank in the middle of the vehicle, instead of in the side pods as was previously the case, with a neutral focus and aerodynamically more favorable, the cockpits were placed extremely far forward. Some Formula 1 drivers suffered severe leg injuries as a result of this construction (including Ronnie Peterson , Didier Pironi , Clay Regazzoni , Marc Surer , Johnny Cecotto ).
1979 Stuck reached in the Procar Series in which, among other things, the fastest Formula 1 driver in identical 470 hp strong BMW M1 competed, ranked second.

In the following years he worked as a works driver for Porsche in their Porsche 956 and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Supercup in the Porsche 962 C in 1986 and 1987. He was also victorious in the Sebring 12 hour race in 1986 , 1988 and 1975 for BMW.
Also in the USA, in the Trans-Am series and the IMSA -GTO series, Stuck competed successfully for Audi in 1988 (Trans-Am) and 1989 (IMSA GTO) in spectacular cars. He completed his time in the Trans-Am series with an Audi 200 quattro Trans-Am , while in 1989 he was out on the racetracks with an Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO .
When the German Touring Car Championship gained popularity and numerous factories joined in, Stuck switched to touring cars , which were considered safer than the sports cars with speeds well over 300 km / h . In 1990 Stuck won the DTM in an Audi V8 . After Audi left the DTM in the middle of the season in 1992 due to legal disputes, he contested the French Touring Car Championship in an Audi 80 quattro 16 V 2.0 l in 1993 . In the following year , Stuck was one of the drivers in the premier season of the Super Touring Car Cup , a new series for touring cars of the so-called class 2 with a displacement of 2.0 liters and approx. 280 hp. In 1995 , in the second season of the STW Cup, he contested his last season for Audi in an Audi A4 quattro from the AZK-Schneider team as a teammate of Altfrid Heger and Rinaldo Capello . In 1996 , Stuck started again on class 1 touring cars in the successor racing series of the DTM, the ITC , which was discontinued at the end of the season. He drove an Opel Calibra V6 4 × 4 from Team Rosberg Opel and achieved two race wins at the Helsinki Thunder .
From the mid-1990s, Stuck was back at Porsche, but just missed the Le Mans victory in 1996 in the Porsche 911 GT1 . Stuck had no luck at Le Mans in the three following years either. Also in 1997 there was no victory at Porsche, which was only achieved in 1998 by a rejuvenated Porsche team (which, however, did not win in the FIA GT championship ). From 1998 Stuck was back at BMW, the new BMW V12 Le Mans Roadsters had to give up early at Le Mans with wheel bearing damage. Stuck was no longer represented in the winning BMW team from 1999 .
28 years after his first victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring , he achieved another victory in a BMW 320d in 1998 .
2000s
From 2000 Stuck was again active for BMW, in touring car races and in the USA in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
The BMW M3 GTR , which won the ALMS in 2001 , was no longer used in 2002 due to the non-standard engine, but was tested at the end of the year with a view to the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 2003 . However , the Schnitzer team did not participate in VLN long-distance races . In the race, the cars suffered transmission damage at the start. The following year the team successfully took part in VLN races and Stuck won the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring for the third time. In 2005 his car took second place behind the vehicle of his teammates. The possible use on both works cars, which almost guaranteed another victory, was only made possible for Pedro Lamy . In 2006, after the factory car had withdrawn, he competed in a private M3 GTR with a six-cylinder engine, together with the older Dieter Quester , among others , but retired after a pile-up that night. Until the end of the 2007 Formula 1 season , Stuck was seen as a Formula 1 expert on the television station Premiere .
On April 28, 2007, Stuck suffered an accident in the Schubert team's BMW Z4 at the VLN race on the Nürburgring and was seriously injured. He was taken to the German Armed Forces Central Hospital in Koblenz , where a bruised sternum and a torn lumbar vertebra were found.
On June 9 and 10, 2007, Stuck took part in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring together with his son Johannes Stuck and Claudia Hürtgen . The BMW Z4 M Coupé used was inferior to the Porsche vehicles in terms of performance, but took fifth place overall and the first in the class up to 3500 cc.
In the FIA European Truck Racing Championship 2007 Stuck drove for the Truck Race Team Allgäuer in a MAN , but only achieved the penultimate place in the overall standings.
In 2008 he switched to the VW Group, for which he already worked in his days at Audi. For the market launch, Stuck drove the new VW Scirocco in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring and won its class. In addition, he jumped in for the sick Hermann Tilke in the 6-hour race and drove a Lamborghini Gallardo .
In 2009 he played a key role in the development of the Audi R8 LMS and celebrated the only victory of an R8 LMS this season in the VLN endurance championship. With a courageous maneuver, he overtook the Porsche that had been leading up until then and won the race.
After the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 2011 , Stuck ended his active racing career. In this race he formed the Stuck³ team with his sons Ferdinand and Johannes as well as Dennis Rostek on a rider - Lamborghini Gallardo and finished fifteenth in the overall standings.
Since April 21, 2012 Stuck has been President of the German Motor Sport Association (DMSB).
Private
- He owes the nickname "Strietzel" to his godmother, who is said to have noticed a resemblance to a yeast plait (Silesian: Strietzel) when he was baptized. Hans-Joachim Stuck bears this nickname to this day and is firmly associated with it. The name Strietzel Stuck is also used in media reports.
- Stuck is the father of two sons, Johannes and Ferdinand , and lives in Ellmau . His first wife was a stewardess whom he met on a flight in 1975. In 2012 he married for the fourth time.
