Hubert Hahne (German pronunciation:[ˈhuːbɛʁtˈhaːnə]; 28 March 1935 – 24 April 2019)[1] was aracing driver from Germany. He was the older brother ofArmin Hahne, as well as the uncle ofJörg van Ommen.
He participated in fiveFormula One World Championship Grands Prix, two of those at the wheel ofFormula Two cars, and one non-Championship Formula One race.[2]
Hahne was successful intouring car racing, including theEuropean Touring Car Championship. In 1966, he raced aBMW New Class 2000TI. In the six-hour "Großer Preis der Tourenwagen"[3] on 3 July 1966, anAlfa Romeo GTA had lowered theNürburgring touring car race lap record to 10:08.9. A month later, in a support race for the1966 German Grand Prix, Hahne was the first to lap the Nürburgring in under 10 minutes in a touring car, in 9:58.5.[4]
On the old and very long Nürburgring, Formula Two cars occasionally had their own race alongside the Formula One cars in the same events to fill the field, which provided other drivers likeKurt Ahrens Jr.,Gerhard Mitter andDieter Quester the opportunity to enter theGerman Grand Prix. As the Formula Two section was counted separately, the drivers could not score World Championship points. Hahne participated in the1966 and1969 German Grands Prix in the special Formula Two sections of those events, but withdrew before the start of the 1969 event due to the fatal accident suffered by his team-mate Gerhard Mitter.
For his true Formula One debut at the1967 German Grand Prix, Hahne drove a Formula Two Lola chassis fitted with a 2-litre 16 valve BMW engine, thus qualifying the drive for Formula One. The BMW factory were allowed to run this to give some national encouragement. He retired on lap 7 with suspension failure. The following year he finished 10th in the same car.
Hahne got himself aMarch 701 for 1970, but could not qualify for the1970 German Grand Prix which was held at theHockenheimring that year. Hahne claimed that chassis and engine were among the worst of the many March and Cosworth delivered that year.Ronnie Peterson showed later atSilverstone that this very car could reach adequate times, and Hahne retired from racing.
