ON STEPHAN WIESEL & HIS PERFECT CARS

Stephan Wiesel passed away in Hamburg on Sunday December 16, 2007, while driving a Corvair Chevrolet at a DSC-meeting. He was an artist rather than just a manufacturer of resin slot-car bodies, in the same style as Pitter Schwaar. He should be considered - together with Dieter Jens - as the founder of true model car racing. Although it was not directly my friend, I had a great respect for his work. Stephan made his living from selling perfect slot-car bodies, tyres, and slot-car parts. By passing away his wife Beate and his children are in a difficult position. That's why I decided that the total of all entry fees at the Stephan Wiesel X-Mas Trophy will be wired to his wife. It's my hope that, just as the Franco Gianotti Trophy, the Stephan Wiesel X-Mas Trophy will continue year after year, also when I quit the slot-racing scene as an active organiser. As model car racers we should keep his memory alive, since he was one of the few showing us all the way to go. In my collection I have six model cars made by Stephan himself. Five of them will be offered to the five first in the final ranking of the Stephan Wiesel X-Mas Trophy. Among them the #27 Martini Porsche 908/02 (seen at the 1970 Le Mans 24 hours) and the Corvette Chevrolet #2. Other cars are a #25 N.A.R.T. Ferrari 512S Coda Lunga (Daytona), a AAW Shell Porsche 917K (1970 Le Mans) and the #30 Gesipa Porsche 917K of 1971.

At the 2004 Franco Gianotti Trophy the #27 Porsche was driven by the later world champion Dani Gonza-lez and Francesc Reyes. The #2 Corvette and the Gesipa Porsche 917 were driven by Patrice Dohogne and Yves Welter jr.
At the 2005 Franco Gianotti Trophy the #25 N.A.R.T. Ferrari 512S Coda Lunga was driven by Martin Borch, the #30 Gesipa Porsche 917K by Brazil's Bruno di Dotto. With the #7 Owens Cornering Corvette L88 Brazil's Marcelo Triginelli won the 2005 World Championship for Amateurs. The #3 Porsche 917LH, driven by Martin Borch, finished in round #3 as sixteenth on thirty cars.  With the #25 N.A.R.T. Ferrari 512S Coda Lunga Borch finished earlier as eighteenth on thirty at the first round of the 2005 Gianotti Trophy. Stephan Wiesel himself was absent.
