Does anyone have a date for when Hans Klenk crashed and was injured at the Nurburgring in 1953? I believe he did not race again.

Without going back to the book to check, I believe Frere says that Klenk crashed and badly fractured a leg at the Nurburgring "in 1953" and did not race again.

Translated from Reinald Schumann (Motorsport in Deutschland 1945-54):
"As usual under Neubauer´s regie the sole criteria was to set the fastest lap time, nothing else. When it was Klenk´s turn the brakes of the car were already worn out, but nobody had noticed that. So when Klenk arrived at the Fuchsröhre he found himself without any brakes, as the brake block had been worn up completely and the aluminium brake shoe melted away literally. A marshal told afterwards, that he had seen something streaming out of the front wheel (!). Klenk was without brakes, he knew, that he was too fast to take the corner, but he tried the impossible. The 300SL left the road and flew over the banking and Klenk was lucky, that he was thrown out of the cockpit. He sustained numerous fractures and a brain concussion and had to remain in hospital for a long time after that."

I have a note of Klenk racing a Borgward in the Rhineland Cup on 2 August - I wonder if his entry was talen over by someone else, but that fact overlooked in the reports?

I think the reason why Klenk appears in the entry list is simply the fact, that his accident happened when his entry had already been made.

Just a little note on the name of the race:
"Internationaler AvD Rheinland-Pfalz Preis"
Rhineland Cup could be translated as Rheinland Pokal which was not the correct title of the race.

Hello Frank,

In mycopy of Autosport the date of the race is June 1st and the report gives the impression that the teams went to the line knowing Walter died... which might make it May 30th/31st 1975 ?? It actually says - he died of injuries caused by ill fitted seat belts and died shortly after.

At least we are within a day of the actual date now. May 31 looks like the best guesstimate, based on the evidence we have so far.
