Biography

Stohr joined Arrows for the 1981 Formula One season, as teammate to Riccardo Patrese. Patrese proved considerably faster than Stohr, who struggled in his first few races. Just as Stohr began to improve, he was involved in a start-line accident at the 1981 Belgian Grand Prix; after Patrese's engine stalled, his mechanic Dave Luckett ran onto the grid to try to reignite it while the race had already started.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Stohr crashed into the back of Patrese's car, seriously injuring Luckett.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Stohr's confidence was badly affected by the accident and his performance throughout the rest of the season deteriorated, along with that of his team, relative to their rivals. Stohr retired before the end of the season after crashing out of qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix.

After Formula One, Stohr made a short lived comeback in the Italian Superturismo Championship in 1989 driving a BMW M3.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

A psychology graduate at the University of Padua, Stohr started a racing school and safe driving academy at the Misano circuit in 1982.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In the 1990s he became a regular columnist for the Italian motorsport weekly Autosprint. He also wrote columns about driving safety in several publications.
