Harald Ertl
Encyclopedia
Harald Ertl was an Austria
n motorsport
journalist
and racing driver.
and attended the same school as drivers Jochen Rindt
and Helmut Marko
, so he had an early relation to motorsports. In 1969 he bought a Formula 5, won six races, but also rolled at the Nürburgring
. He was second in the European Cup with a Kaimann chassis in 1970, and started also in Formula 3 with a March Engineering
703.
In 1971 he moved to Touring car racing
, driving an Alfa Romeo
in the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft
(DRM) and the European Touring Car Championship
.
From 1974 to 1978, Ertl raced in Formula 2, e.g. the ADAC
Eifelrennen
.
Based on experience with their BMW, Schnitzer Motorsport
developed a Toyota Celica LB Turbo
for Ertl in 1977. As his career highlight, Harald Ertl won the DRM in 1978 driving a BMW 320i
Turbo for Schnitzer Motorsport
.
In 1979 and 1980, he drove successfully for Zakspeed
, winning several races with their Ford Capri
turbo. They also developed a mid-engined Lotus Europa
for the 1000km Nürburgring
. Harald Ertl did not race in 1981, but planned a return for the 1982 Renault 5 Turbo
Cup.
Ertl was killed in an aircraft accident at the age of 33. He was travelling in a Beechcraft Bonanza
flown by his brother-in-law Dr. Jörg Becker-Hohensee to their holiday home in Sylt
in Northern Germany for an Easter vacation. An engine failure caused the plane to crash. Ertl's wife Vera and son Sebastian survived with injuries.
he finished 8th, retired in the next GP, to finish 9th at Monza.
Encouraged by the results, a full season with Hesketh was planned for 1976. In the 1976 South African Grand Prix
he qualified in the last row and finished 15th. The next races saw him either not qualify at all, or at the end of the grid, with the car failing soon.
Despite not being satisfied with the value the team gave him for the money, he almost scored a point when coming in 7th at the 1976 British Grand Prix
, 3 laps down though.
Two weeks later at the 1976 German Grand Prix
Ertl was one of the four drivers who helped pull Niki Lauda
from his burning Ferrari
after Lauda's infamous crash during the second lap of the race. The rest of the season saw two other 8th places as highlights, at home and at the wet 1976 Japanese Grand Prix
.
Ertl continued with Hesketh for some European races, scoring 9th at the 1977 Belgian Grand Prix
, but quit after the 1977 French Grand Prix
where he failed to qualify once again.
For a few races in 1978, Ertl entered with Ensign
, but things were even worse there, with the cars failing to finish or even to pre-qualify, like in the 1978 Italian Grand Prix
. He got a chance on the spare car of German Team ATS
but couldn't qualify that either.
Ertl tried once again with ATS in the 1980 German Grand Prix
with the same result, so the 1978 Austrian Grand Prix
in front of his home crowd was the last GP he actually took part in.
