Strietzel will be a guest of honour at the Grand Meeting 2026 and will be present at next year’s Classic Days. We look forward to seeing you from 31 July to 2 August 2026.
Hans-Joachim ‘Strietzel’ Stuck competed in Formula 1 between 1974 and 1979, then won the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1986 together with Al Holbert and Derek Bell in a Porsche 962, and again the following year in 1987 in a Porsche 962C – the Rothmans Porsche with the same team.
In the Porsche 962 C, Stuck set a track record at Le Mans back in 1985 when he drove at an average speed of 251.815 km/h per lap. This record remained unbroken for 32 long years.
In 1990, he became the ‘German Touring Car Champion’ in the Audi V8 Quattro DTM with 189 points in the predecessor to today’s DTM. The son of the ‘King of the Mountains’ Hans Stuck (1900–1978) has been very fond of the Classic Days for many years and has already attended our festival as a driver for the 72stagpower ‘Jägermeister Racing’ team and as a driver for the Autostadt.
