We just arrived at our hotel in Weimar after a day with 170 km of highways to get to the East, mixed with three tests at Twente Airport and four 15km regularity section. A good day to get back into the rythm, because the regularity sections were set on icy, snowy side-roads. Lethal conditions as even one of the Irish competitors, Frank Fennell, who does nothing but rallying, drilled himself into a ditch a few minutes ahead of us. Not something we could fix, but definitely a nice job for the rescue crew with a 4×4!

Our test this morning consisted of three sections and included icy, snowy and asphalt sections and it was a hoot as usual. We had two small misses, which cost us a few seconds, but where last year we had many offs due to abundant risks being taken, this year [...]

Time for another Bergmeister retrospective! I love looking back at the pictures from this event, which saw TwinSpark Racing sponsor a mega road trip for ten classic Porsche 911s from the European R Gruppe tribe.

Porsche have exceeded all expectations and taken some of their most famous race cars to Australia, to celebrate their 60th anniversary of selling cars down under.

Putting things into perspective, Melbourne is over 10,000 miles from Stuttgart: some 21 hours flying time. The Porsche Museum has shipped a number of exceptional machines to the southern hemisphere, including the RS60 and 908 Targa Florio winners, Moby Dick and one of the all conquering 962s. They have also sent a very special 911: the SC rally car used by Walter Röhrl and Christian Geistdörfer in the 1981 San Remo rally.

San Remo ’81 was a defining moment in the relationship between Röhrl and Porsche. With the 4wd Audis set to dominate, Walter and Christian kept them behind until a smashed SC driveshaft near the finish cost them the event.
