		In 1985 Weidler also made his debut in sports car racing, in a Joest Porsche 956 with Marc Duez and 'John Winter' at the World Championship round at Spa, finishing 6th.
		In 1986, Weidler had further WSC outings, coming 10th at the Nurburgring with Greek driver Costas Los in a Cosmic Racing March 84G Porsche, and then sharing a Kremer Racing Porsche 962 C with Bruno Giacomelli to 12th at Spa and 4th at Fuji, for 39th place overall with 14 points.
		But Volker was then forced into an early retirement from racing due to suffering from tinitus just as his career was taking off again.

		Brunner left early in the year to join Zakspeed but de Cesaris was able to finish fourth in Detroit, which gave the team ninth in the Constructors' Championship.
		The original car was reworked that winter by Bob Bell and Stefan Fober and the team expanded to two cars, but neither Christian Danner nor Volker Weidler could do much with the car.
		Weidler kept trying to qualify until August when he was replaced by Pierre-Henri Raphanel but he did no better, while Danner was fired after the Portuguese GP and the car was tried by Gregor Foitek in Spain and by Bertrand Gachot in Japan and Australia.

	Volker Weidler - Biography
		Volker also went to the prestigious end-of-year F3 race at Macau, where he drove a Ralt RT30 Volkswagen, but it was a disappointing experience, Weidler only managing 7th place.
		Weidler was chosen with Jean Alesi to compete in F3000 in 1988, while Eddie Irvine and JJ Lehto were chosen for F3, and Mika Hakkinen and Allan McNish were chosen for the Vauxhall Lotus Challenge.
		This unjustly rescued Weidler out of pre-qualifying, and for the second half of the year he was an automatic starter in the qualifying draw.

	Volker Weidler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volker Weidler (born March 18, 1962 in Heidelberg) is a former racing driver from Germany, best known for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991.
		In the 1989 Formula One season, Weidler entered 10 Formula One Grands Prix racing for the Rial team, but failed to qualify the uncompetitive car on every occasion.
		From 1992, however, rotary engines were banned by the FISA, rendering the 787 ineligible after its maiden win.

	8W - Who? - Volker Weidler
		While Danner's entry was exempt from prequalifying due to De Cesaris's good showings in the latter half of 1988, Weidler was thrown in the deep end.
		With no F1 experience whatsoever Volker was forced to do the impossible: make the ARC2 work in just 30 minutes.
		In Hungary he managed to prequalify again, only to finish up last on Saturday and to hear he was to be replaced by Pierre-Henri Raphanel.

		Weidler never once qualified in the second part of the year.
		Pierre-Henri Raphanel, desperate not to waste his sponsorship switched to Rial, ousting Weidler.
		Foitek fell out with EuroBrun and was replaced by Oscar Larrauri and at Onyx Gachot talked faster than he drove and that gave the team the excuse to dump him in favor of JJ Lehto.

	Woodcote: 1988 history
		Again sharing Marlboro Europe's selected drivers, Onyx (Volker Weidler) and Oreca (Jean Alesi) were teams to watch.
		So, there was an unexpected Volker Weidler who, despite a one-minute penalty for jumping the start, took the last point at stake in an Onyx March less competitive until now than the Ralt abandoned by the Frenchman.
		Volker Weidler confirmed his recent progress by taking 4th place to the detriment of Bertrand Gachot and Eric Bernard, delayed after a spin.

		Acura is a good fit, but I have to question what the real motive behind the move to sportscar racing is. My answer, Johnny Herbert.
		Herbert, along with Bertrand Gachot and Volker Weidler drove a Mazda 787B to the 24 Hours of Le Mans win in 1991.
		This, for a long time didn't sit well with other Japanese manufacturers, as Mazda, to this day, is the only Japanese manufacturer to win the historic race.

		Johnny Herbert, a future Formula 1 Grand Prix winner, was tasked with driving the final stint, and was so exhausted after crossing the finish line that when he emerged from the winning car, he collapsed on it.
		While Weidler and Gachot enjoyed the spoils of the podium ceremony, Herbert was receiving treatment at the track's care center!

	Idemitsu racing rotary engine oil and premix lubricants
		As Volker Weidler, Johnny Herbert, and Bertrand Gachot, drivers of Mazdaspeed Co Ltd's Mazda 787B, awaited the start of the 1991 24 Hour LeMans race, Idemitsu engineers were standing by, arguably as nervous as the drivers.
		Idemitsu had spent years developing the technology behind the engine oil used in the 787B and were hoping for a problem free fast race by the Mazdaspeed team.
		They were witness to the first rotary engine driven winner in the history of LeMans.

		Established Marlboro/Onyx driver Volker Weidler set a base time in his March 88B, and then Emanuele Naspetti (the new Italian F3 champion), Erik Comas (winner of the French title) and Eddie each had a tilt at it.
		Fastest of the four, albeit by fractions, was Eddie - despite going last, when the brakes and gearbox were all but worn out.

		With the Jaguar, Mercedes and Peugeot teams in full force on the Sarthe circuit, nobody, probably not even Takaharu ("Koby") Kobayakawa, responsible for Mazda's sporting activities, would have put any money on the Japanese cars' chances.
		But with four hours to go to the finish, only the leading Mercedes stood between the 787B, driven by Volker Weidler, Johnny Herbert and Bertrand Gachot, and a possible victory.
		Then, the German car suddenly stopped at its pit in a cloud of steam.
