Former racer from the early 1960's onwards, mainly in sportscars running them through his garage. Then became a car designer, engineer and then team manager, including a spell in Formula 1. Largely based in Lausanne. Still visits and drives at historics. Chuck, who also raced as Charles, started like many of his countrymen (due to the ban on circuit racing) in hillclimbs, before entering his Chevron B8 in many sportscar events, with some success, before switching to a Daren Mark 3. Chuck also designed the Cheetah-Aston Martin G604 Group C car. Chuck's father was the Swiss ambassador to the Phillippines, hence Graemiger's birthplace.
