Lancia Rally 037 - 1983, Gr. B - Walter Münch/Bruno Schraud
Walter Münsch's collection of Röhrl Monte Carlo winning cars was missing just one, namely the Lancia Rally 037 from 1983. As the original was not available, the option was to have a copy built, which began in 2018 and took until the summer of 2024. Then it was finally finished. Mehr >

Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 - 1986, Gr. B - Walter Münch/Bruno Schraud
Walter Münch is a big Röhrl fan and therefore asked SG Power to build this Sport Quattro for him. The body was welded together from different Audi types as it was done in the past with the originals too. The full 550 HP of this Quattro want to be driven with respect. Mehr >

Audi Sport Quattro - 1985, Gr. B - Joachim Lütticken/Isabelle Brack
Original
This car is the original works Quattro driven by Walter Röhrl and Christian Geistdörfer on the 1985 Tour de Corse. Without its technical running gear Audi sold this IN – NT 61 in 1986. In the same year it was reassembled with parts of a standard homologation car by ex mechanics of the Audi Sport. Once owned by Joachim Lütticken the car was completed back to original rally spec from New Zealand 1985 as much as was possible. Mehr >

Fiat 124 Abarth Rallye - 1975, Gr. 4 - Dino Lucchetti/Vittorio Lucchetti
This Fiat 124 CSA dates from 1973 and was initially registered in central Italy before it came to San Marino to a former Abarth employee. The car was probably prepared in Italy and used in local rallies. In the early 90s, the car was brought to Germany. Dino Lucchetti bought it in 2003 in a very poor condition, at that time with a 16-valve engine from a Fiat 131. After almost 20 years of construction, it made its maiden event in the Eifel in 2022. The European Championship car from 1975 driven by Verini/Rossetti is used as a guideline. Mehr >

This year too, the entry list for the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (July 24th to 26th, 2025) has to be closed early. “Less than three weeks after the opening of the registration portal, we already have over two hundred entries, but we can only accommodate around one hundred one hundred and sixty rally cars in the centre of Daun. For this reason, we are definitively closing the entry list on February 28th, 2025,” explains Reinhard Klein (Slowly Sideways) with a smile but also a sad eye. “The huge interest from the international friends of historic rallying is inspiring. The variety and quality of the registered vehicles are impressive. We are closing the entry portal to keep the number of rejections down”.
A very important step in the preparation for the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival that will run from July 24th to the 26th 2025 is the opening of the entry list. From February 1st, 2025, the race for the coveted starting places will begin. The first enquiries show that there will be great interest again this time in the demonstration drives in the Vulkaneifel region around Daun of the largest rolling rally museum. The selection of the entry of original or faithfully reproduced rally cars from the last sixty years is this year will be based on their former drivers.
Every year, fans eagerly await the maxim that guides the basis of selection for the line-up at the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival. On the weekend of July 24th to 26th, 2025 the focus will be on the selection of historic rally cars driven by famous drivers. ‘We will try to get the cars of as many great rally drivers as possible to the start. From Aaltonen to Zasada, the number of different cars of these former drivers in the entry should be as extensive as possible,’ explains Reinhard Klein (Cologne) who, of the organising team, is the one responsible for putting together the entry list. ’To ensure the great variety that is desired, we will not be able to allow absolutely identical cars.
The historic journey continues since the next ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival will once again take place in and around Daun in the Vulkaneifel from July 24th to the 26th, 2025. Over one hundred and sixty original or faithfully reproduced rally cars from the history of this fascinating sport will once again delight tens of thousands of fans who will be watching the largest rally museum on wheels. “What started as an idea in 2012 has now become an important part of safeguarding the history of rallying.” says Reinhard Klein happily, “Our participants are realising more and more how important it is to preserve their cars true to the originals.
The winners of the 2024 photo competition have been announced. We would like to thank for the many photos submitted. The winners have been notified in the meantime and will all receive a fan package 2025 (2 weekend tickets, 1 program booklet, 1 voucher for the welcome evening, 1 baseball cap, 1 complete set of autograph cards and 2 event stickers). The winning photo 2024 was “shot” by Jiri Fiser (Czech Republic). Congratulations to him!
The twelfth edition of the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (August 15th to 17th, 2024) is now history. It was another weekend on which the largest rolling rally museum of over one hundred and sixty cars from rally history brought the Volcanic Eifel around Daun to life. Tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans from all over Europe celebrated alongside the crews. The atmosphere was fantastic, with participants and fans beaming in the sunshine. As the head of Slowly Sideways, Reinhard Klein (Cologne), is responsible for putting together the entry list. He draws a positive conclusion from this weekend: “With this twelfth edition of our Festival, we have taken another big step towards modernisation.
Excitement is building ahead of the twelfth edition of the Eifel Rallye Festival to be held from August 15th/17th, 2024. Indeed, the entire Volcanic Eifel region around Daun is already in a state of rally fever. The region will once again host the world's largest rolling rally museum with over one hundred and sixty original or faithfully reproduced cars from the history of rallying. Thorsten Krämer, Mayor of the Shakedown Centre in Bodenbach, puts it in a nutshell: "The local community of Bodenbach warmly welcomes the international field of participants and fans from all over Europe".
