1970 Press Photo Piglet as a mascot for the World Champion of the motor cyclists

Piglet as a mascot for the World Champion of the motor cyclists: A vivacious piglet Dieter Braun is holding in his arms. The world champion of the 125 c.c. class was given the animal during a press conference at the ADAC Stuttgart as a present and naturally he is now looking more optimistic in his sporty future. With such a mascot one simply has got to be lucky. The mascot will be able to prove its qualities already on the coming week-end (10.11. October) when Dieter Braun will be one of the stars at the big ADAC racing day at Hockenheim. According to the card there will be held the last race for the formula 2 European Cup, the finishing race of the interseries for sports cars and prototypes as well as the German Championship for the classes up to 350 c.c. , 500 c.c. and sidecars.
