Wolfgang Müller

"Petrol in the blood"

Whether on the racetrack or at the drawing table, the fascination for this sport is omnipresent.

The human

Wolfgang Müller was born in 1949 on Taubenheim Strasse in Stuttgart Bad-Cannstatt, where Gottlieb Daimler installed the first gasoline engines in vehicles in a small workshop in 1882.
At the age of six, Wolfgang Müller and his parents moved to Stuttgart-Büsnau, a small suburb of Stuttgart, directly on the former Solitude race track, where major international motorcycle and car races were taking place at the time. He got to know famous racing drivers such as Phil Read, Jim Redman, Dan Gurney and Jim Clark personally.
Enthusiastic about racing and motorsport, he decided to become a racing driver himself.
The big difference to many people in this world who want this in their youth is - he became a racing driver!


The racer


Infected by racing fever, he started his own career as a motorcycle racing driver in 1969. In the class up to 50 ccm he was twice German champion between 1969-1980 and as a private driver he regularly achieved top positions in Grand Prix races.

Art comes from ability!
A second great passion, drawing, showed Wolfgang Müller the way into professional life. He took up the profession of photo retoucher who taught him how to use brushes and airbrushes. He has been translating his talent for drawing into automobile and racing motifs since he was a child.
