Kurt Kuhnke was a German racing driver who made a single Formula 1 appearance in 1962, driving for Lotus-Borgward. He started the race but did not finish in the points, completing the event in twentieth position. His involvement in international motor racing proved brief; the available record contains only this one Grand Prix start.[1]
Kuhnke's career on the automobile racing ladder was limited compared to his achievements elsewhere. He came to Formula 1 from a background more established in motorcycle racing, where he had enjoyed greater success. The single-season presence in top-tier motor racing represents a brief foray into an arena where he did not establish himself as a competitor.[2]
