A bang in the local motorsport scene! Wolfgang Gammer, who once conquered the mountain with an average speed of 186.3 km/h and was crowned European champion in 2018, is unexpectedly ending his career. “There is a lack of motivation,” said the 43-year-old. His bikes are now for sale.
“A star is lost!” This sentence from Bernhard Deschka, the race director of the legendary motorcycle hill climb in Julbach, shows what importance Wolfgang Gammer has in the scene. Two days after his 43rd birthday, the Seebach native unexpectedly ended his career. “Change” to four wheels “I no longer have any motivation, I should have quit in 2018. There is simply too much value lying around for the few races a year,” said Gammer, explaining his resignation. His bikes and all the accessories such as rims, caravans etc. are now being sold. “I will put everything online, there have already been a few inquiries from Italy for the motorcycles, which are worth around 25,000 euros,” said the crowd favorite, who, thanks to the income, will “switch” to four wheels and treat himself to a convertible.European Championship title on the mountainThe mountain racing scene will definitely miss the 2018 European mountain champion and four-time Landshaag winner and one-time Julbach winner (only Karl Truchsess was more successful on the mountain). Especially since Andi Gangl, the second local figurehead, will probably not start this year due to an injury.
