'''Vernon John Schuppan''' {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AM}} (born 19 March 1943) is a retired [[Australians|Australian]] motor racing driver. Schuppan drove in various categories, participating in [[Formula One]], the [[Indianapolis 500]] and most successfully in [[sports car racing]].
Although he considers himself to be a [[Open-wheel car|single-seater]] driver, Schuppan's biggest career victory was with the factory-backed [[Rothmans Porsche|Rothmans]] [[Porsche in motorsport|Porsche]] team when he partnered [[United States|American]]s [[Hurley Haywood]] and [[Al Holbert]] to win the [[1983 24 Hours of Le Mans]] driving the [[Porsche 956]].
Line 36:
In 1974 Schuppan went to [[Ensign (racing team)|Team Ensign]], débuting again in the [[1974 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]] where he finished in 15th position. In [[1974 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] he retired on lap four because of an accident. Schuppan was disqualified in both [[1974 Swedish Grand Prix|Sweden]] and [[1974 Dutch Grand Prix|the Netherlands]]; in Sweden because he started illegally from 26th place on the grid and in the Netherlands for receiving a tyre change outside of the pits. Schuppan failed to qualify in [[1974 French Grand Prix|France]] or [[1974 British Grand Prix|Britain]]. He retired in [[1974 German Grand Prix|Germany]] on lap four because of gearbox problems.
In 1975 he raced in one race in [[1975 Swedish Grand Prix|Sweden]] for [[Embassy Hill|Embassy Racing With Graham Hill]] team, retiring from the race with transmission problems. In 1977 Schuppan raced for [[Surtees Racing Organisation|Surtees]], finishing 12th in [[1977 British Grand Prix|Britain]] and a career best seventh in [[1977 German Grand Prix|Germany]]. He finished 16th in [[1977 Austrian Grand Prix|Austria]], but failed to qualify for his final Formula One race in [[1977 Dutch Grand Prix|the Netherlands]]. Schuppan would later describe Surtees team boss, {{f1|1964}} World Champion [[John Surtees]], as an autocratic owner who "always knew best and wouldn't listen to his drivers" and believes his time with the team was hampered by not being given equal equipment to his teammate [[Vittorio Brambilla]].
