The Stacey family didn't have enough with one Ford Escort – after all, there was also son Mike alongside father Gerard. To celebrate the perfect pairing, they quickly built a second Rothmans Escort. So, if you see two of these Escorts flying past you sideways on the demonstration tracks, it's not a hallucination, just the Stacy family having some fun. Mehr >

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. This allowed him to start in the main field of the Eifel Rallye Festival. Mehr >

This car is one of three Nissan 240RS that, in 2008, were brought from Kenya to Germany for participation in Slowly Sideways events. Unfortunately, the restoration process was not quite as easy as had been hoped because there are hardly any spare parts to find anywhere in the world, all 240RS parts seem to have vanished. And in contrast to many other rally cars, there are no road versions of the 240RS in Europe that can be used as donor cars for lamps, moldings etc. Mehr >

After Portugal in 1994 this Celica was sold to Toyota Team Sweden. TTS then sold it to a private customer in Norway who kept it for a couple of years and then sold to David Greer in Northern Ireland in 1997. It was rallied by a number of people during this period as Celica’s were extremely popular in Ireland. A majority of the original ST185 Celica’s ended up in Ireland and also ended their life there as they were almost rallied to extinction. This car survived and the last Irish owner who Nicky Grist bought it from was Sean McGeehan. Mehr >

The double German Rally Champion Harald Demuth (in 1982 and 1984 at the wheel of an Audi Quattro) has been part of the Eifel Rallye Festival every year since its foundation in 2011. For 2025, the long-time works driver for Audi, will drive a Sport Quattro owned by Audi Tradition. During his days as a professional rally driver, Demuth drove a Sport Quattro only once: on the RAC Rally of 1986 where he retired with engine failure. Mehr >

This Peugeot 404 was built in its early days already to rally specifications and in Safari Rally livery. It was stored in dry conditions for a long time, so it was not necessary to make a rebuilt. Its engine is as used in the 1967 Safari rally with the original 4-speed gear box and it still today has drum brakes, just as used on the early safaris! Originally Donald Bramer wanted to prepare an Alfa 1600 for rallying but started to drive this 404 until the Alfa was ready. Mehr >

This Ford RS200 belongs to Ross Ahlgren, who is also behind the RSCC Distomo project, which is a modern interpretation of the 1986 classic based on the RS200 design. Ross is lending this RS200 to 1984 World Champion Stig Blomqvist for the Eifel Rallye Festival. This RS200 has a more powerful engine than the standard 1986 models, that is why ists called the Evo.
