In touring car racing, Stuck won the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft in 1990.
Born in Bavaria, Stuck is the son of Grand Prix motor racing driver Hans Stuck, runner-up in the 1936 European Drivers' Championship.

Across a four-decade career in sportscar racing, Stuck took several major victories, including three at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, two at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and one at the Spa 24 Hours. He took eight victories in the World Sportscar Championship for BMW and Porsche, winning the title in 1985 and finishing runner-up in 1986 with the latter, driving the 962C.
