Hans Heyer, 78 years old

From a young age, Hans Heyer seemed determined to make a name for himself as a racing driver. Finally, at the age of only 16, he built his own kart, with which he then took part in various races in the Netherlands. His talent soon helped him to fight for the title of Dutch Champion. Heyer drew attention to himself and eventually became a member of the German national karting team. Eventually he blossomed into a Formula 1 driver, and especially in the 1970s and 1980s he was able to achieve great success. After a total of 1000 races, Heyer finally ended his career more than 15 years ago.
