Austrian Quester is mostly known as one of the top Touring car drivers ever, having won the European Touring Car championship four times, in three different decades. However, for some time he had single seater aspirations as well, mostly due to his strong association with the BMW marque. This company ran a full factory program in 1969 and 1970, with its own chassis, and then provided a BMW engined March chassis for Quester in 1971. In 1969 Quester was entered in the German GP’s F2 section, but his entry was scratched following Gehard Mitter’s death in qualifying. By 1971 Quester had become one of the top F-2 drivers, finishing the championship in third place, but no F-1 offers were forthcoming. Eventually, Quester had a single GP start, in the Austrian GP of 1974, driving one of team Surtees’ cars. He qualified 23rd out of 31 entries, and finished 9th. He had no further opportunities, but continues racing in top level sports cars these days, well into his 60’s!!
