No and no. Rosemeyer is still the closest answer so far.
The one we're looking for raced at the same time.
 
:cheers: to Pupik.

Here is 's page on Wikipedia.

He was nicknamed Ringmeister (="master of the ring") because of his mastery of the Nordschleife (source), and he was nicknamed Regenmeister (="master of the rain") too ( (source).
 
Someone else may ask a question, I'm out of non-F1 questions right now.
 
Since I was closest i'll put up a question...💡
Who was the first and only driver to win back to back bathurst 1000's in different years? (name years, co-drivers, and car numbers)
 
That would be Peter Brock. The first back to back cluster was from 1978-1980, In 1978 and 1979 he was behind the wheel of the Holden Torana A9X, and his team-mate in those years was Jim Richards. In 1980 He drove in the Holden Commodore VC again with Jim Richards as team-mate.

His second back to back cluster was from 1982-1984. In 1982 and 1983 he was driving a Holden Commodore VH with Larry Perkins as Co-driver, but John Harvey joined the 2 in 1983. 1984 it was another Peter Brock pairing with Larry Perkins but this time driving the Holden Commodore VK Group C, the last of its kind.
 
Crap! Forgot the numbers!

From 1978-1980 Brock's car wore his trademark 05.

And in 1982 and 1984 he used 05, in 1983 he drove with number 25 after his normal car stuffed its self after the first lap, he then used the spare car, with the number 25.
