`Lucky Hans` Hans Herrmann Interviewed – by Mike Jiggle – Sample issue

For this special issue it was only right to interview the man who, in real terms, helped to put the Porsche name firmly in motor racing record books as a marque to be respected and feared.  In 1970, together with Richard Attwood, from a distant grid position, they defied all the odds to claim Porsche`s first Le Mans title.  At this most defining moment in the marques history, Herrmann kept a promise he made to his wife and bowed out of motor racing.  Now, at the age of 90 years and still having a heavy work schedule, including appearances for both Porsche and Mercedes, I felt privileged that he took time to answer my questions.  It has to be remembered that Hans Herrmann speaks little English; therefore, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Giacomo Coppola and Mrs. Ursula Pearson for their kind assistance with translations.
