Altfrid Heger

Altfrid Heger appeals to the part of me that admires the long-game professional over the flash-in-the-pan star. From the 1980s onward this Essen-born German raced across the World Touring Car Championship, the DTM, and serious endurance events, then capped it with the 1988 Guia Race and the 1993 Porsche Supercup title. What I respect most is the breadth and persistence; staying competitive across so many disciplines demands real craft, not just bravado. That he later became a motorsport entrepreneur tells me his passion for the sport outlasted his driving career. He is the kind of grounded, unglamorous pro I always end up rooting for.
