In the 1966 Trans-Am he ran a Knauz sponsored GTA with the "Australia " and Kangaroo as his symbol and he won not only the U2L class but he and Gaston Andrey were the overall 1966 Trans-Am champions based on points.
Here is a link to an earlier explanation on the Austalian forum see post #22

Horst is a hero here in the states to all Alfistas but seems not as well known in the country he was raised.
