Hubert Hahne (born March 28, 1935[1]) is a former racing driver from Germany.
He participated in 3 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix and one non-Championship Formula One race.[2]
For his Formula One debut at the 1967 German Grand Prix, he drove a Formula Two Lola chassis fitted with a 2-litre 16 valve BMW engine, thus qualifying the drive for Formula One. The BMW factory were allowed to run this to give some national encouragement. He retired on lap 7 with suspension failure.
Hahne was successful in touring car racing, eg. the European Touring Car Championship. In 1966, he was the first to lap the Nürburgring in under 10 minutes in a touring car, a BMW New Class.
On the old and very long Nürburgring, Formula 2 cars were racing their own race within the F1 in the same events to fill the field, which provided other drivers like Kurt Ahrens, Gerhard Mitter, Dieter Quester the opportunity to enter the German Grand Prix. As the F2 was counted differently, they did not appear in the F1 results, as e.g. 1967 German Grand Prix.
Hahne got himself a March 701 for 1970, but could not qualify for the 1970 German Grand Prix which was held at the Hockenheimring that year though, hardly a track were skill mattered most. Hahne claimed that chassis and engine were among the worst of the many March and Cosworth delivered that year. Ronnie Peterson showed later at Silverstone that this very car could reach adequate times, and Hahne retired. Rather than proving the quality of the car, this might have rather given an early indication that Peterson was a master of driving fast with below-average cars, as he would show in the future.
