Hans Klenk (born 28 October 1919 in Künzelsau – died 24 March 2009 in Vellberg) was a racing driver from Germany. He participated in one World Championship Grand Prix on 3 August 1952 and did not score any championship points.
... back to the winning race cars driven in 1952 by Hans Klenk and Karl Kling in the Carrera Panamericana while the 18-inch magnesium wheels and AMG crest on the roof connect the old and the modern.
The latter win was accomplished after the car of Karl Kling famously experienced a bird strike, taking a buzzard to the windshield at 135 mph on the passenger’s side and knocking out co-driver Hans Klenk.
