The German Motor Sport Federation[1][2] (German: Deutscher Motor Sport Bund or DMSB, formerly known as Oberste Nationale Sportbehörde or ONS) is Germany's motor racing governing body. It represents Germany at FIA and FIM.
The DMSB-Staffel, founded in 1972 by Herbert Linge as ONS-Staffel, is considered the first mobile track marshaling crew, equipped with fast cars like Porsche 914 or Porsche 911, carrying fire extinguishers and doctors in order to arrive quickly at a crash site.
