Lancia Delta Integrale - 1988, Gr. N - Barbara Loth/Leonie Walter

The Eifel Rally Festival has had its own women’s team for years. The Swiss Barbara Loth, née Ernie, and Leonie Walter have been driving their Lancia Delta as the sweep car after the last starter. No wonder, since both come from self-confessed rally families. Mehr >

BMW 2002 - 1972, Gr. 1 - Dieter Mohr/Edeltraud Hilgert


In addition to his Renault 5 Turbo, which he has been driving since 1981, and the Alpine A 310, Dieter Mohr occasionally takes this beautiful 2002 out of his garage. For the 2019 season it got the livery of the Hainbach BMW from the 1972 Olympia Rally. Mehr >

Toyota Corolla TE27 - 1974, Gr. 2 - Dieter Walterscheid/Timo Hüppen


Dieter Walterscheid bought this Corolla in Belgium in 2013 with a 1200 cc engine and with automatic transmission, various rust holes and rear damage, but otherwise in quite good condition. A lot of research and picture searches for the right parts were necessary to buy the right parts all over the world (Belgium, Japan, USA, Canada, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, France, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Italy, England, Ireland) despite a well-stocked spare parts warehouse. The body was completely polished and restored. Mehr >

Volvo 240 Turbo - 1984, Gr. A - Theo Ruijgh/Jamil Azimi


This Volvo came to the Netherlands from Finland in 2022 and was already a competition car. John de Heijde and his company JDH Classic Motorsport then overhauled and repainted this Volvo into a copy of the car that Susanne Kottulinsky drove from 1984 to 1986. Theo Ruigh lives half in the Netherlands and half in the USA, where he has a large collection of Porsche racing cars. Mehr >

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1,6 - 1981, Gr. 2 - Maarten Buitenhuis/Jeanette Buitenhuis


Fascinated by the rather exotic Mandelli-Alfa of 1981 in rallying, Maarten Buitenhuis had one built for himself in 2023. Mehr >

Renault R5 Turbo - 1980, Gr. 4 - Barbara Fassnacht/Martin Räthel


Barbara and Martin always take turns at the wheel. Both are pilot and co-pilot. After Barbara crashed the black and yellow Renault Turbo 5 in the Rallye Monte Carlo 1981 décor at the Ardenne Rallye Festival in May, a replacement was urgently needed for the Eifel Rally in August 2024. Fortunately, a good friend offered his red R5 Turbo 1 for sale. Mehr >

VW Golf G60 - 1988, Gr. A - Peter Hinz/Martin Fischer


Peter Hinz was able to acquire a bodyshell of a Golf G60 from VW Motorsport in 2018 and decided to build it up into a copy of the G60 test car from 1988. During the first tests, still in May, the G60 was painted all white, then in August it was white-blue just like the front-wheel drive Golf GTIs that were used at the time. Peter Hinz decided to paint his G60 in this variant. Mehr >

Toyota Celica ST205 - 1997, Gr. A - Yves Matton/Antoine Podgorny
Original

After its two participations in the WRC with Freddy Loix in 1997, this Toyota first went to Sweden, then stayed in Belgium and France with various drivers until 2023. Then, MY Gallery acquired it for Yves Matton and Xavier Baugnet to use in demonstration events. Between 1997 and 2001, Yves Matton worked for the Belgian rally team Future World. This team ran programs with Bruno Thiry and Renaud Vereydt before becoming a local branch of TTE (Toyota Team Europe) for national championships in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Poland. Mehr >

Toyota Celica Twincam Turbo - 1986, Gr. B - Gerd Dicks/Dani Portela


After the end of Toyota's Formula 1 involvement, Gerd Dicks left TMG (formerly TTE), set up his own business on the Lower Rhine and continues to build racing engines there. As the proud owner of the original Toyota Celica that Lars-Eric Thorph drove in the 1986 Hong Kong-Peking Rally and lots of parts for it, he decided to rebuild Björn Waldegard's sister car in this rally during the boredom of the Corona period. It was finally finished in 2024. Mehr >

Toyota Celica RA63 - 1982, Gr. 4 - Benoit Galle/Jean Caro
Original

After the rallies in Germany in 1983, this Celica returned to TTE and was given the Group B-Celica Twin Cam Turbo body variant but retained the previous Group 4 technology. The Group B Celica was based on the same body of the RA63 but with a different body kit. So, this car came to Africa as a test and training car for TTE. Benoit restored it to its 1982 RAC-Rally condition after acquiring it. Mehr >
