“The time he spent as a Porsche works driver in the 1980s was particularly important to him. Stuck celebrated his greatest international successes at the wheel of the Porsche 962. In 1985, he became the World Endurance Champion in a 962 C with his teammate and close friend Derek Bell, winning the ADAC Supercup in 1986 and 1987 and the 12 Hours of Sebring in a 962 IMSA in 1986 and 1988. In 1986, he won at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. One year later, another overall victory followed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, also in a Porsche. In 1988, he came second at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. These achievements solidified his reputation as one of the most outstanding endurance drivers of his generation and as a key driver in the Porsche works team at the time,” Porsche said.
