Default Walter Röhrl wins the Rally Costa Brava

Dear All:

The Rally Costa Brava (part of the FIA Historic Rally Championship) took place near Barcelona this weekend. I took a few (thousands) of pictures of Walter Rörhl, who attended this event (and eventually won it). There were also many other 911s plus some other great cars like Lancia Stratos, Renault Alpine A110 etc. I just thought you would enjoy a few pictures of the winner 911 RSR...

By the way, I had the chance of exchanging a few words with Herr Rörhl; he was extraordinarily friendly and approachable. Great man he is.
Enjoy.

That is totally awesome. Thanks for the post!

I did a winter driving school in Austria (an Audi thing) many years ago and Herr Rohrl was the special guest. Got to go driving on a frozen lake at night with him... wow was that cool. Its so nice to have some of the best drivers of the past be so approachable (as someone posted about dbell as well).

Legend wins driving legend. Does it get much better?

One of my favorite film sequences is an interview with Rohrl where he described the old Group B Audi Quattros as "pretty fast." What an understatement....
