Vintage 356 Historic Race & Rally event shots

[Henk Vasmel]

A hint for further research: In my database I have Austrian license plate W35.689 coupled to the name Herbert Nosek. In 1957 he drove an unspecified Porsche on 28-4 with start number 56. My data for this period is far from complete, but it might be him.

Edit: Found this picture:

Thanks a lot Henk
Your data base, even uncomplete is fantastic
Indeed this quite old (1951? 1952 ?) 356 cab was driven by Herbert Nozec (1931-2017) gentleman driver
This pic was taken by April 28th 1957 on the Wien-Aspern airport during a local sport cars meeting




It was Herbert first ever race
Quickly he moved to more powerfull 356

To be honest with you I had never heard about Herbert Nozek performances until yesterday (thanks to Henk for findind him)
I tried to dig some info on his life out of the net but did not find much
Only one interesting fact :
In 1965 Herbert Nozec entered 2 races at the wheel of the Albert-Porsche RS

[Porschinelle]

I then realized that some months (year ?) ago I write something on this car in the X....Porsche topic (pages 155-156-157 and 15






If you take the time to re-read these pages you will discover that the Albert Porsche RS was in fact a lotus 23 chassis fitted with a 1.6 liter Fuhrmann engine coming from an 718 RSK
Doing these searches I even answer one question I was asking to myseld=f at the end of the chapter
Frantz Albert only allow his client Herbert Nozek to drive his car twice in 1965
Most of the time he drove himself the Albert Porsche RS
At the end of its race carreer (1968 if I remember right) the engine was changed for a more powerfull one (2.0 L)
I was asking myself if this engine was a 911 2.0 6 cylinders or still a Fuhrmann ?
Based on the fact that the Fuhrmann cooling turbine was no longer visible mt thoughts were it was a 911 6 cylinders
In fact I was wrong as I discovered an article stating that the engine was still a Fuhrmann 4 cylinders but a 2.0 L coming from a 904
As you may see you always learn something
