BRUN MOTORSPORT 1966-2009

Tall, slim, with jet-black hair and a thin black moustache, Walter Brun could have been cast in a pirate movie or western, but instead starred in his own story — one involving Porsches and endurance racing. Born in Lucerne, Switzerland, in October 1942, Brun opened a disco, ran a champagne business and, in the mid-1960s, drove mountain and circuit races successfully, becoming European Mountain Champion in 1971. With his Brun Motorsport racing team, he set new standards in the German Racing Championship and the World Sports-prototype Championship, campaigning a string of 962s and employing the international driving elite of the day. Fittingly spread across no fewer than 962 pages spanning three hardcover volumes (with cloth binding, embossing and a protective slip case), this expansive look at the life of Walter

Brun and the team he managed features 1,200 photographs and illustrations and can be pre-ordered as either a German or English language edition. Limited to 350 copies is the Edition Walter Brun, signed by the man himself, while a special Collector’s Edition limited to ninety-nine copies is personally signed by fourteen Brun drivers, including Jochen Mass, Manuel Reuter and Hans-joachim Stuck. Pre-order the standard version before the official release date of September 2022 and enjoy a €50 discount.
