Lancia Stratos Works Driver, Walter Rohrl, Wins Costa Brava Rally

admin — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:11:16 +0000

Although Walter Röhrl is 62 years of age there’s no sign of Porsche’s senior test driver slowing down. Not even a little bit. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that when he enters a rally these days, he still competes to win.

Recently he entered the Costa Brava Rally and won decisively.

Based around the Spanish town of Lloret de Mar, Walter competed in the FIA European Rally Championship for Historical Cars together with co-driver Peter Göbel.

The two-times World Rally Champion drove a 1981 Porsche 911 RSR under difficult weather and track conditions, and in so doing Röhrl clearly demonstrated his unique driving skills as a four-times Monte Carlo winner.

The race also featured ex-Renault works driver Jean Ragnotti in an Alpine A110, together with several other competitors driving Porsche 911s plus three Group 4 Lancia Stratos.

Röhrl and Göbel in their Porsche 911 RSR dominated the race, bringing home an historical victory for Wolfgang Reile’s Classic Power Team in the very special style of the truly outstanding driver who also won the European Rally Championship in 1974.

Also competing in the event was Sandro Munari, driving a Group 4 Lancia Stratos, one of 3 entered into the event, but Munari in the Stratos was unable to match the pace of Rohrl in the Porsche.

Here are some images of Munari in the Lancia.
