A documentary about the
Apollo
moon project and the X-planes that were used in testing reminds one of
Herr Singer. He has always been at the forefront of technology and was
extensively educated in aerodynamics. After interviewing numerous test
pilots and enacting their glamorous stories, the documentary's
commentator
asked a NASA engineer if one of the courageous pilots made "a great
quarterback"
for the test team. The engineer thought for a while and said "Well, the
test pilots are not the quarterback, they're the football." As much as we appreciate the talented Porsche drivers whose amazing skills piloted Porsches to victory, this Club is about the Quarterback. Spontaneous Comments from Club Members, at this link Singer Fan Activities
and News... 2008 So what's he doing these days? Consulting for
race teams and teaching, such as the "Technische Hochschule" at Esslingen, which also has a
race team (this looks like a lot more fun than the classes I've had to
attend!)
Fortunately for all of us,
you'll frequently catch him at the more significant races worldwide. Be
sure to tell him you're a Member. Even better, get his book and bring
it with you for him to sign. 2006 Just in time for LeMans, The
Singer Book is Out! The official announcement is a
little too subdued, like Singer himself. But Herr Singer is also
known, and appreciated, for telling the whole story, without corporate
embellishments which can make the official news so bland. It should be
a
great book! They're expecting a sellout. Get one now. Herr Singer has retired from
Porsche, but is still quite active supporting Porsche RSR customers.
Recently he was testing at P. Ricard France, and Misano Italy. Then it
was Istanbul for the LeMans European Series. Fan Club member Denis Bourquardez sends us this shot above of Singer at Paul Ricard. He's helping with Porsche's RS Spyder, campaigned by Roger Penske in the American LeMans Series. 2005
Christophorous' excellent
article about Herr Singer's retirement
includes his comments about his favorite Porsches.here(pdf)
 The Porsche Carrera GT - very much an "appearance" by Norbert Singer as we suspected all along. Herr Singer at one of Trackschedule's Test Days  Daytona Rennsport Reunion (and other appearances) 2004 Photos here of Norbert Singer's visit -
he was a concours judge for 956s and 962s, etc. How intimidating is
that? FIA Endurance Interview 2003 Michael Cotton's interview here LeMans 2003 The ACO awarded Herr Singer its "Spirit of LeMans", placing him with Derek Bell, Paul Frere and Dr. Piech.  click on photo for more, and details Porsche says Singer is
working
on the Cayenne windshield wipers - a new plan to win LeMan from the
"Car
Parts Class"? Or, something bigger, like a Moby Dick Cayenne!?!....->   Champion Racing and the Norbert Singer Fan Club
Champion's Naveen Maraj applies a club sticker to the nose of
