Biography

Karl Büsser made his debut in national and international sidecarcross in 1974 on the side of Ernst Ruegg, whose passenger he would remain until the end of the 1980 season. The two competed in what was originally the FIM-Cup and became the European Championship in 1975, to turn into the World Championship in 1980. The pair saw a continues improvement from season to season, finishing 21st overall in 1974 and coming in as high as fourth in 1977. After that, results declined again and, after two eleventh places in 1978 and 1979 the duo finished 17th in 1980. In between, Büsser raced for one Grand Prix in 1979 with German driver Reinhard Böhler who would become the first-ever World Champion in the sport the following year.
