About Hans Heyer in brief
Hans Heyer is a German racing driver who mainly raced touring cars. He is better known for actions and antics during his single attempt at Formula One, the 1977 German Grand Prix. His sign is his so-called Tirolerhut, a hat from Tyrol or Bavaria which would fit better to drivers from these Alpine regions, like Hans-Joachim Stuck or Niki Lauda.

In 1980 he won the DRM again, this time for Lancia in a Group 5 Lancia Monte Carlo Turbo, a car he also helped develop. For many years, Heyer was associated with Zakspeed, racing their Group 2 Ford Escorts in the European Touring Car Championship and the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft.
