Car presentation 2024

• 

Tim Clarke only completed this Audi Quattro A2 himself in spring 2024 and, for a change, chose not the HB livery but the Audi Sport colours driven by John Bosch at the 1985 Hunsrück Rally. Mehr >

Ton Cornelissen painstakingly built this Triumph 2500 PI and took great efforts to make it identical to the 1970 London-Mexico car. Mehr >

This Peugeot 205 T16 remained with Peugeot Germany in Saarbrücken for many years after 1985 and later in Cologne when the company moved and merged with Citroen. It was often exhibited in public. However, Peugeot was not in a position to prepare it ready to drive and finally sold it to Ludwig Biewen. Another classic example of how the rally treasures of the past need private initiatives to keep them running. Mehr >

This Audi Quattro was converted from a production car into a copy of the 1984 factory car by the Reichert company in 2006 and drove in HB livery at slowly sideways for a few years. In 2010, it was sold to Greece where it was driven by Vasileios Velanis before returning to Walter Münch in Germany in 2014. Walter Münch, a Walter Röhrl fan, restored the A2 to exactly the same condition as Röhrl drove it to victory in the 1984 Rally Monte Carlo and Thomas Aigner will drive this car. Mehr >

For many years, Franz used to be the co-driver of Wilfried Wiedner. They drove mainly in Austria but also appeared on an international scale where they even came second overall on the 1985 WRC Argentina Rally in a private Audi Quattro. From 1972 onwards, he was also a fan of Alpine cars and owns an A110 ever since. In 2014, this A 310 came on the market and Franz could not resist. Mehr >

Holger Voigtmann has been involved in rallying for decades. In 1980 he started at the MC Zwickau and from 1984 to 1989 he drove international rallies and the GDR Championship with co-driver Horst Galle. In 1989 he won third place of the GDR Championship in his group on Trabant. From 1991 he drove with Peugeot 205, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Ford Escort Cosworth, Audi S2, Nissan Sunny GTI-R and Mitsubishi. In Switzerland, the Voigtmanns were able to locate and purchase one of the rare models of the Mercedes 450 SLC 5. 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. This was not sufficient for a major international career but it was enough for good results on national level. This RS2000 is the original Escort driven by Rainer Gutzeit in the German Championship.

John Wheeler is the spiritual father of the RS200 and through 1984 to 1986 as Chief Engineer for Ford Motorsport was responsible for the design and development of the RS200 for both road and rally applications. Mehr >

This Manta was first registered in 1982. Between 1990 and 1999, Norbert Bezold from Gudensberg near Kassel took part in several rallies with it. Between 2008 and 2010, Roger Lötzner had the Manta rebuilt at Autohaus Wolf in Rockenhausen. The Manta then took part in Slowly Sideways events in the white and yellow Finley livery of Carlos Sainz from the Spanish championship. In May 2015, Daniel Waldorf bought the car and over the next three years brought it as close as possible to its original condition from 1983. 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. The Weiler brothers had previously rallied together and revived their hobby, with Klaus Weiler bringing the necessary knowledge as a car mechanic anyway. Mehr >
