Karl-Günther Bechem (German pronunciation: [kaʁl ˈɡʏntɐ ˈbɛçəm]; alias: "Bernhard Nacke"; 21 December 1921 – 3 May 2011) was a racing driver from Germany. Bechem started out in sports car racing before competing in Formula Two in the 1952 German Grand Prix, driving a BMW under the alias "Bernhard Nacke". He failed to finish the race, and so did not score any World Championship points. He continued driving an ex-Karl Gommann AFM-BMW (chassis 50–5) in Formula Two in 1953, at AVUS and then in the German Grand Prix at Nürburgring, again failing to finish. Read more on Wikipedia
