  Энциклопедия Формулы 1: гонщик: Ahrens, Kurt
After a rather barren 1960 season with a Formula Junior Cooper, Kurt made amends the following year, defeating Gerhard Mitter to win the German Formula Junior championship, a feat which he repeated in 1963 after returning from a six-month suspension imposed by the ONS for disputing the official result of a race the previous year.
The acquisition of a Brabham in 1965 provided him with the opportunity to race in both F3 and F2 but his outings in the latter category were restricted by his commitments at his father's garage and scrap metal business.
Having previously stated his dislike of long-distance racing, it is perhaps surprising that Ahrens chose to opt for this category in 1969, winning the Austrian GP with Jo Siffert in David Piper's Porsche 917.

Grid of the 1953 Eifelrennen at the Nürburgring: At the front Kurt Adolff (34) in the Ferrari 500 of Rudi Fischer, Paul Fre`re (12, HWM), Hans Klenk (30, Klenk/Veritas Meteor) and Stirling Moss (8) in the Cooper-Alta Special.
The first appearance of the new car/driver combination was here at the Eifelrennen, where Adolff made good use of his certainly superior equipment to qualify for a front row position on the grid.
Immediately after the start de Graffenried shot into the lead from the third row of the grid and Adolff was able to hold second position for a while before he had to surrender to the attacks of the HWMs of Collins and Fre`re, finishing fourth as best of the German drivers there.

 8W - When? - Forties & fifties German F2, F Libre and sportscar racing
It is doubtful whether the entry of Kurt Baum in the 1.5-litre car actually materialized, as this would have meant that four cars existed at that time.
As a consequence the team regularly brought two 1.5-litre cars to the race tracks to be driven by Rosenhammer and Kurt Straubel, the latter replacing Baum in the team.
Following him are "B. Bira" (14, Connaught A-Type), Kurt Adolff (34, Scuderia Espadon Ferrari 500), Hans Stuck (21, AFM 50-Bristol), probably Theo Helfrich (Veritas RS-BMW), Ernst Klodwig (Eigenbau Heck-BMW) and an as yet unidentified car.

A private entrant in Formula 2 races in the early 1950s, Adolff raced mainly BMW-engined specials in 1951 but did not really score any major results, although he finished second at a minor race at the Riem military airfield.
He popped up again in 1953 having acquired a Ferrari 500 from Rudolf Fischer and he began to score some better results.

 Solitude-Rennen 1903-1965: Sport- und Tourenwagen 1949-1950
Besonders erfolgreich in der kleinen Klasse waren die Eigenbauten von Emil Vorster, Kurt Kuhnke und Wilhelm von Müller, während der Vorkriegs-Neander Sporttyp mit V2 Harley Davidson Motor von Gottfried Vollmer nicht mehr ganz mithalten konnte.
Low performance often was compensated by ultra lightweight construction or sly aerodynamics.
Most success- ful in the small classes were the constructions of Emil Vorster, Kurt Kuhnke and Wilhelm von Müller, while Gottfried Vollmer's pre-war Neander with V2 Harley Davidson engine wasn't equal to it any more.

Roland Mall (4) and his unwieldy Eigenbau-BMW in the middle of the grid for the race at Karlsruhe in 1948.
The other starters (from left to right and from front to back) are: Polensky / Monopol (1), Brütsch / Westenrieder-Maserati (2), Hellmuth Deutz / Alfa Romeo "Monza", Holbein / HH48 (behind Brütsch) and an unknown car with the double rear wheels at the back of the grid, possibly Kurt Kiefer's Maserati 26M.
Roland Mall appears in my records with a first result in the 2-litre sports car class of the 1947 race at the Schottenring, where he finished fourth in a BMW.
