Horst von Saurma-Jeltsch (born Horst Vieselmann, 28 August 1954) is the former chief editor of the German automobile magazine Sport auto until February 2013.
[2] A well-known feature of Sport Auto is the "Supertest", wherein Saurma tests sports cars at their limit on the track (using fully road-legal trim) and their resulting lap times at the Nürburgring and the Hockenheimring are compared.
In 2004, Saurma set the Nürburgring lap record for a production car by taking the Porsche Carrera GT around in 7 minutes 32 seconds.
[3] Saurma's laps for Sport Auto are often taken as benchmark times for their respective vehicles.
Saurma continues the "Supertests" as a freelance author, after having resigned as chief editor.
