German auto influencer Gercollector appears in Munich court

Michael Spegel, a prominent German automotive influencer known by the pseudonym Gercollector, appeared before a judge in Munich. Spegel, who maintains a public persona by always wearing a helmet to hide his face, has amassed nearly two million followers through videos featuring supercar testing on highways and circuits.

The legal proceedings follow allegations regarding his driving conduct. While his content focuses on the performance of high-end vehicles, the Munich court is examining the legality of his high-speed driving on public motorways versus closed tracks.
