Nicht nur eine Rallye-Legende, sondern DIE Rallye-Legende

[@Fergutor]

Autosport 9 February 2017: The genius on wheels: The computer. That was what they called Walter Rohrl during his time in rallying. A calculated yet committed style gave rise to victories on rallies as disparate as the Acropolis and Monte Carlo, in cars as dierent as a Group 2 Opel Ascona and a Group B Audi Quattro. Rohrl’s talent as a rally driver is well known. But what about Rohrl the racer? Well, there was that class win at Le Mans, in a Porsche 944 in 1981. There were also those Stateside successes at the wheel of a fearsome-looking Audi 200 Quattro Trans-Am. *And then there are Niki Lauda’s words. What was it he called Rohrl? “Genius on wheels.”* Lauda wasn’t the only Formula 1 world champion to recognise the ability of the two-time World Rally champion. *A number of years ago, Rohrl recounted a story that told everything you needed to know about what he could do with a car. It was a story about what was, for him, a fairly mundane run around the Nordschleife. Lapping The Green Hell is a regular part of his development work for Porsche. On this occasion, he found himself on the tail of The genius on wheels what was clearly a well-driven supercar. While focusing on the task in hand, Rohrl engaged the other car, finally sending one up the inside in the last few corners to cross the line ahead of the other precisely matched motor. Exiting the track, Rohrl was going through his cooling-o procedure and stopped at some traic lights. His rival was right behind him and concern grew when he saw the driver’s door open. Moments later a furious-looking Michael Schumacher banged on Rohrl’s window. The look of relief when he saw who was behind the wheel tells us everything about how good Walter Rohrl was - and is - on track.*

Walter Röhrl ist und bleibt die Legende!

[@JustAPassengerX]

What a rally-legend, those clips are amazing. But only 1minute? :/ I usually like your short clips, but that one could have been a bit longer

[@jogamer9124]

Happy Birthday Walter ! / Alles Gute zum Geburstag Walter !

[@MrRoko91]

LEGEND ! BTW the quattro s1 has the best sounding turbo I've ever heard :)

[@brandondavis4766]

0:24 reason why group b was banned/ best group b clip of all time. Balls out and the only way to tell where the turns are were the pace notes and where the spectators were!

[@001-j7l]

is that it!? for the greatest Rally diver ever?

[@cesarerossetti9382]

Grande campione,grandi vetture!

[@CameronGreenwoodCramp]

Walter Rohrl is the best rally driver ever besides Henri Toivonen and Colin McRae. :)

[@OMENAKAKKU-di5cx]

MEINE IDOLE

"I dont like jumps because i dont like flying."

[@MentalParadox]

Did he ever win a title? How many rallies? Would have useful info for a video like this.

[@RaptorInMotion]

0:51 : is his arm like that for a reason?

[@Simon74]

Still the very best!

[@BrunoDECOURCY]

I think he was the best with Hanu Mikkola in this time.... It'd be interesting to compare his skills in today's cars...

[@heiko207]

Absolute Legende. Man kann nur spekulieren was er mit der F1 gemacht hätte, da er Rundkursrennen generell nicht mochte. Ich bin warscheinlich nicht der einzige, der denkt er hätte es mit allen aufgenommen :P

[@lachmaster9288]

What about Michelle mouton?

[@SuperGamewarrior101]

5th place overall in Targa Tasmania 1997 in a Porsche 911 SC RS.

[@lolkingrd440]

i have a question about the wrcplus subscription,does it provide historic championships like wrc rallys from the 1999 and back.

[@MentalParadox]

No, it goes as far back as 2014.

[@jameskamoet7679]

The Professor..

[@27POP27]

One thing I come to think of: 4x4 existed back then, and it's obviously superior today; but then why were there so many FWD and RWD cars used?

[@AddictivePenguin]

The concet of rallying is taking a production car and transforming it into an offroad machine. Back then in the 70s-80s, 4x4 existed but it was expensive to be produced and also expensive for the everyday people to purchase. As a result companies built the classic RWD cars that were also used in rally. Nowdays 4x4 is much more affordable and all brands participating in the WRC have developed at least a couple of 4x4 production cars.

quattro god

[@vladislaav]

He doesn't like jump.

[@gpsmodul6660]

Ari Vatanen und Peugeot 205 T16 sind besser. Ist der komische kautz Röhrl schon mal Paris Dakar gefahren? Hat der Vogel mit den DKW S1 schon mal den Titel geholt? NEIN aber der Ari hat alles gewonnen
