For many years, this Ford Escort was driven in the Netherlands and Belgium by the pilots Biesheuvel and van Haren until Gerard Stacey bought it and transferred it into the Rothmans colours from 1981. For the 2023 season, he even repainted the interior in matt black, just like it was with Ari Vatanen back then. Mehr >

Tanja Zingelmann-Hartjen has been driving rallies since 1986 and won the women's classification of the Sanremo Rally in 1997, for example. Then the family came to the fore and in 2023, with three grown-up sons, the hobby can find meaning again and a Golf GTi in the Wrigleys design by Jochi Kleint was needed. Mehr >

After the official events this Visa first moved to a privateer who drove it in Rallycross events. After that, the battered car was sold and abandoned by 3 owners. From 2011 to 2019 the Visa Trophée has been restored to its original condition like it drove the Boucles de Spa 1984, where it finished seventh overall and first in class. Mehr >

This Ford drove in the Middle East Rally Championship in 1995 with Abdullah Bakhashab, then came via Hungary, Spain and Italy to the French Gravel Championship for 1997. In 1998 it returned to Italy and finally to Lars Zander, who had it restored. Today, the Escort is largely back in its original 1994 condition. Mehr >

The exact history of this Lancia is still somewhat in the dark. It was driven in Italy by Renato Biccianto and then came to Salzburg. Christian Windischberger bought it in 2013 and has been driving it regularly at various historic events ever since. Mehr >

The Ford Escort RS2000 was a very popular car for privateers who did not have the budget or the will to run the Escort RS1800 with its complicated BDA engine. Instead of the 240 bhp of the four-valve BDA, the RS2000 engine only had two valves and 180 bhp. Mehr >

Claus-Peter Wehner had already been a Slowly Sideways regular before 2015 driving a different 635 CSI which proved to be quite unreliable. Then, at the end of 2014, he got the chance to purchase another 635 CSI which had been used in circuit racing. Mehr >

The idea of building their own car for slowly sideways events arose as early as 2019, but it wasn't until February 2022 that a Audi 200 Quattro prepared for circuit racing finally arrived on the doorstep, and over the next few months it was converted into a copy of the Quattro as it rallied in the 1987 Rally Monte Carlo.

This Fiat, which had been completely overhauled and restored by the Voigtmann family, came from Switzerland and was in extremely poor condition, actually ready for the scrap yard. However, it had many original parts and an FIA car pass. Mehr >

Hemmo Vriend had an Aston Martin DB2/4 built, as they were often driven in racing and rallying in the early 1950s. With it, he also took part in a historic edition of the Carrera Panamericana road race. Mehr >
