Porsche congratulates Peter Falk on his 90th birthday

Peter Falk very much prefers to stand behind his team rather than in the spotlight. The former racing director and engineer who worked for Porsche AG for more than 30 years is said to be extremely modest. In his own words: “I’ve always said that I don’t count at all but my team has to be good. And that’s the most important thing.” On 27 November, he celebrates his 90th birthday.
