Very sad news indeed. He was a true sportscar stalwart, a real enthusiast and so entertaining with his stories you could listen to him for hours. Porsche Kremer Racing and their fantastic achievements will always be remembered.

The Brothers had fallen out with each other, Erwin had to buy Manfred out of the racing team so any reapperance will depend on what happens to the assets of the team.
I doubt very much we will ever see Kremer racing again. Kremer racing for me a as teen in the late 70's early 80's, where the iconic Grp 5 team, whenever I saw the brothers Porsche K3 race I thought it would be the car to beat. There ambition to make there own cars, the CK5 and 917k etc never really lived up to the success of K3 but will stand out as wonderful cars. |

Kremer gave a lot to sportscars through the 70s, 80s, and 90s so thanks for the memories Erwin. Rest in peace. |
