Car presentation

Thomas Schöfer first got to see the Slowly Sideways group on the Hunsrück Rally of 1993. Back then, he had this Ford Escort parked in his garage for three years and did not really know what to do with it. Fortunately the “Hunsrück 93 experience” changed this for Schöfer. He immediately began to restore the car and already drove it in 1994. A few years later, Schöfer painted his Mk2 Escort in the 1977 works colours white and blue. And he even owns a historic Ford Transit which is painted in the same livery. Mehr >

Jeroen Heijnen began building this Mitsubish Lancer EVO 6 in 2022. It took until spring 2024 before it was ready and his first rally was the Ardennes Rally Festival. He opted for the Marlboro version of Tommi Mäkinen from 1999. As tobacco advertising was banned on the cars in France, they drove the special stages without the Marlboro stickers, only in Monaco itself were they stuck on and removed again when leaving the city.

Timo van den Berg has built an exact copy of the Citroën C2 that Hans Weijs drove in the 2008 Junior World Rally Championship. The car was completed in 2025 and even the correct rims were found. Mehr >

Manfred Schreiner has owned this Opel Kadett since 1979 and rebuilt it in 2012 to compete in rallies. He chose this colour scheme because he liked the design of Walter Smoley's 1977 car. Mehr >

Ronald has been driving rallies in Belgium with various Opel cars since 1997. In 2009, he switched to a Vauxhall Chevette painted yellow and black. From 2015, serious competition came to an end, the Chevette was restored and driven in Tuborg livery at show events from 2021. Mehr >

Ernst Kopp acquired this car from Toyota Motorsport many years ago when he was their main workshop manager for their WRC and F1 program. This 222D is completely original and unrestored and thus is a very exclusive showpiece. But just exhibition only did not satisfy Ernst and he prepared this car for the Eifel Rallye Festival in 2017 where it drove its first stage at all. This is the 222D prototype with the longitudinal engine that Björn Waldegård tested in Scotland in 1986. Mehr >

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. In 2001 and 2002, Matton continued his career at Kronos Racing before joining Citroën Racing in October 2002. Mehr >

Mark Wallenwein became German Rally Champion in 2012 in a Skoda Fabia S2000. From 2015 onwards, he turned his attention more to circuit racing and is driving this Porsche at the Eifel Rallye Festival for testing purposes. Mehr >

After its events with Raimund Baumschlager, this VW Golf G60 went to Armin Holz, who drove it in Germany in 1994 and won the Westfalen Lippe Fahrt. Hans Weijs then took over this G60 and drove it in the Netherlands until 1995, when it was replaced by a Golf III Kit Car. In 2021, Hans Weijs Junior bought this Golf back into the family. Mehr >
