Born in Lucerne in 1942, Brun started his professional career at the post office, where his mother thought he was in good hands. The enterprising lad soon set up his first gambling machines - later there were hundreds. He opened a disco, ran a champagne business and in the mid-60s began to drive mountain and circuit races very successfully. After all, he became European mountain champion in 1971 on a Schnitzer-BMW.

With his Brun Motorsport racing team, Walter Brun set new standards in the German Racing Championship from 1981 and later in the Sports Car World Championship. Alongside the boss himself, the international driving elite of those days sat at the wheel. Unforgettable were the appearances of the great Stefan Bellof for the team, who unfortunately also had a fatal accident in a Brun-Porsche. But "Walti" Brun overcame this stroke of fate, just as he later overcame his failure in Formula 1. He was quick-tempered, generous and completely unconventional - he even introduced his two wives to the company patriarch Ferry Porsche.

In elaborate research Walter Brun's son Sacha compiled a selection of over 1,200 photos from the race tracks around the globe with pictures from almost every Group C event, from the European Touring Car Championship, the DRM and numerous other categories, as well as from the set-up of the cars, victory celebrations and private moments. It's hard to imagine what moved the team back then. It is a unique team story, marked by a passion for motorsport that does not exist a second time and will never exist again. It was crowned with a German championship title, a European championship title and a world championship title.

Authors: Sacha Brun, Thomas Nehlert, Eckhard Schimpf, Peter Wyss. 3 hard cover volumes in a premium slipcase. 964 pages in total with more than 1,200 photos. Text English and German. Limited to 1,000 pieces.
