Thanks to "Vitesse".
Your data on the 1952 AVUS race are new to me. Brendel does not appear in the entry for the following year's Avusrennen (1953. A web search reveals he tried to race at the 1953 Le Mans, first, with von Berkein in a Porsche 356, the entry for whch was not accepted.
Brendel was then was listed as a reserve driver for car #45, the Porsche 550 of Frere and Von Frankenberg but it seems he never drove the car.
Any more details would be welcome. I assume from the lack of evidence otherwise that Heinz Brendel is still alive in his 80s. Does anyone know?
