Timeline
A member of an old Austrian-Silesian noble family, he was born as the son of Count Adalbert Kottulinsky von Kottulin (b. 1904) and his wife, Countess Maria Schenk von Stauffenberg (1905-1940).
Winfried Philippe Adalbert Karl Graf Kottulinsky Freiherr von Kottulin, better known as Freddy Kottulinsky (20 July 1932 – 4 May 2010 ), was a German-Swedish racing and rallying driver who won the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1980.
In 1953 he went to Sweden, where he set up a repair shop.
In the 1960s and mostly with a Swedish racing licence, Kottulinsky competed in Formula 3, Formula Vee and Formula 2.
He also entered rallies, as did his daughter Susanne Kottulinsky who had been born in 1960.
His granddaughter Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky is also a racing driver in Audi Sport TT Cup.
In F3 he became Swedish champion in 1966 on a Lotus 35 Cosworth.
In 1974 he won Formel Super V's European Gold Cup on a Lola T320.
In 1980 he won the Paris-Dakar Rally together with Gerd Löffelmann in a 4WD VW Iltis prepared by Audi.
When asked for the first time to drive one of three cars that were supposed to support Jean Ragnotti, Kottulinsky, who had neither experience nor desire to race in a desert, declined indirectly by asking for a high salary.
Shortly before the race began, the team hired him anyway, and Kottulinsky entered the race with hardly any preparation.
He did not have tent nor sleeping bag, but enough spare parts to keep the car running without having to wait for support.
The design of this four wheel drive system provided the basis for Audi's Quattro system, which debuted later in 1980 on the original Audi Quattro.
In that time, Kottulinsky also trained the mechanics to drive the team's service vehicles quickly and safely.
This developed into Audi Fahrsicherheitstraining (driving safety lessons), for which Kottulinsky worked 25 years until retirement.
Kottulinsky lived in Görkwitz in Thüringen for several years, promoting the local race track Schleizer Dreieck.
At over 70 years of age, he was still entering motorsport events, e.g. on 11 August 2006 with a Datsun 240Z in the AvD-Historic-Marathon-400 on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring.
He died in May 2010 in Karlstad.
