Timeline
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
(key) (Races in bold indicate pole position; races in italics indicate fastest lap)
He participated in only one F1 race, the European GP at the Nürburgring in 2007, and led for six laps due to rain.
At the same time he was a regular sports car and touring car driver, winning the 1000km Monza with Marc Surer in 1985.
