Ф1: 1953

Год	Команда	Шасси
1953	Ernst Loof	Veritas Meteor

Loof was eight times a German motor cycle champion between 1930 and 1938 and worked for BMW, building the sports car which von Hanstein used to win the 1000 Miles of Brescia before the war.

However, it is as designer and engineer of the splendid Veritas machines of the late forties and early fifties that he is best remembered. He seldom took the wheel, but did appear in the 1953 German GP, the marque's last season in top-flight competition.

Loof rallied a BMW in 1954, but by then he had begun to develop cancer and, suffering a brain tumour, died after a long illness in 1956.
