	Grand Prix Hall of Fame - Alfred Neubauer - Biography
		Neubauer believed that a driver on the racetrack was the "world's loneliest human being." He thought that if a driver could be informed, during the race, of his position, speed, race distance and other particulars he would have a better chance of achieving his ultimate potential.
		Alfred Neubauer would lead Mercedes' racing team through its golden period and then would come back for an encore in 1954 as if to show the world that he was still the master.
		Neubauer had his pitcrews practice pit stops with the changing of all for tires until they were able to accomplish this with unheard of speed and precision.

	8W - Where? - Targa Florio
		Neubauer tells in his biography how he was selected for his first race as one of the racing drivers, how the Count announced that the first car was to be raced by racing driver Lambert Pöcher and the second by Fritz (Gregor?) Kuhn.
		Neubauer had believed that after the twisty sections in the mountains he would be able to rest a bit on the 10 km straight near the coast, but the road there proved so bumpy and bad that it needed all the concentration of the driver to keep the car on the road.
		Neubauer tells that the drivers brought brushes and paint with them to mark the brake points and directions of the corners and soon every stone and tree near the track was filled with a confusing multitude of numbers, dots, triangles, crosses and other symbols making it impossible for the drivers to recognize their own markings.

	The SLR Phenomenon – Past and Future - WorldCarFans.com
		The idea for this “wind brake” came from director of motorsports Alfred Neubauer, who was looking to develop a system to reduce the wear on conventional brakes and tires during long-distance races such as Le Mans and Reims.
		Neubauer wanted to use wind resistance to slow the car in particular at Le Mans, as the French track forced drivers to use the brakes hard and often to bring the car down from its maximum speed to as little as 25 mph.
		At the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1952, Alfred Neubauer signed up Fitch as a factory driver for the Carrera Panamericana in November 1952 after the American was impressive in testing with a 300SL.
