Jochen Mass

Jochen Mass, born September 30, 1946 was a Formula One driver from Germany.

Born in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, he participated in 112 grands prix, debuting on July 14, 1973. He won 1 races, secured 0 pole positions, achieved 8 podiums, and scored a total of 71 championship points.

After leaving the Formula One circuit, he enjoyed great success in sports car racing, gaining international prominence with his performance during the European Touring Car Championship in the early 1970s. In 1972, he teamed up with Hans-Joachim Stuck to drive a Ford Capri RS2600 to victory at the SPA 24 Hours endurance race in Belgium. He went on to win that year's World Sportscar Championship . Among his many victories, in 1985 he won the Circuito del Mugello 1000 km race in Italy driving a Porsche 962C and in 1987 partnered with Bobby Rahal to claim victory at the 1987 12 Hours of Sebring race. In 1989, he won the most prestigious endurance race of all, the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Jochen Mass now drives the Mercedes-Benz museum's historic cars. In the 2004 Mille Miglia, he drove the original Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR that Stirling Moss had driven to victory in the 1955 race. To raise money for charity, the passenger seat next to him was auctioned off to the highest bidder.
