Timeline

1951

Manfred Winkelhock (6 October 1951 – 12 August 1985) was a German racing driver.

Born in Waiblingen on 6 October 1951, Manfred Winkelhock was the older brother of Joachim Winkelhock.

1978

He began racing in Formula Two in 1978 and survived a major crash at Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.

The front wing of his March 802, still made of metal at that time, got bent early in the race, suffering some loss of downforce.

Despite driving carefully, in the fourth lap, when going over the very steep rise of Quiddelbacher Höhe before Flugplatz corner, the car suddenly lifted its nose, went airborne, somersaulted backwards and then sideways.

1979

Winkelhock along with Hervé Poulain and Marcel Mignot drove a BMW M1 Group 4 racing version that was painted by pop artist Andy Warhol for the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans.

They came in 6th overall and 2nd in their class.

Winkelhock's first attempt at qualifying for a Formula One Grand Prix race was in Italy, when he stood in for the injured Jochen Mass at Arrows.

He was able to land a drive with ATS in.

1980

He participated in 56 Formula One Grands Prix (with 47 starts) between 1980 and 1985, driving for Arrows, ATS, Brabham and RAM Racing, with a best finish of fifth at the 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix.

He is the older brother of Joachim and Thomas Winkelhock and father of Markus Winkelhock, who are all also racing drivers.

1983

As BMW became the team's engine supplier in, he qualified well on several occasions in 1983 and , but the car was rarely reliable, so there were few results and a lot of accidents.

His son, Markus Winkelhock, is also a racing driver.

1985

He was killed in the summer of 1985 when he crashed heavily at the fearsome Turn 2 at Mosport Park of Bowmanville near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, during the Budweiser 1000 km World Endurance Championship event, driving a Porsche 962C for Kremer Racing with co-driver Marc Surer.

The crash was Sunday, 11 August and he succumbed to injuries the next day while at the Sunnybrook Medical Center in Toronto.

At the time of Winkelhock's death, he was a driver for the Skoal Bandit sponsored RAM Racing team in Formula One, though it had been a frustrating season with a best finish of 12th in the 1985 French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard.

His death saw him replaced by Northern Irish driver Kenny Acheson, though lack of money saw the team fold before the end of the season.
