I'm nearly there pic fans.


Porsche 953,the Dakar version of the 959,sounded odd,perhaps exhaust was broken.


A Gallardo rally car,driver was a bit careful,didn't get to hear the V10 howl.







Group S car on the left,different wing but car on right says RS200S....confused

A car I had no idea existed.


Toyota's Group S car.



Based on a MK1 MR2 silhouette.



And what happens next ?


Another turns up.

Thanks for that information.

I didn't get to see under the bonnets of the Toyotas.

I knew about John Wheeler,I chatted with him at the 2012 event ,when I should have driven there in my Cosworth but it died in Dover.

Pikes Peak Peugeot.




Escort RS 1700T.
THE rarest RS.


The Englishman who owns it also has a concours RS200.

I don't need to tell you to visit YouTube to see lots of this stuff in action including the group S Audi one off and the 405.

The NSU was spotted at a garage near where I stopped for the night.

Having scrolled through my whole thread ,there's a few pics gone missing so a few more will appear later.

It is an excellent event,you won't see as many group b or s cars in one place anywhere else .
Dates are probably roughly same weekend in July ,either 2nd to last or last weekend.

It starts on the Thursday,with all the cars in Daun town centre for scrutineering and all the invited star drivers will be signing autographs on a stage about midday.

There are no barriers and you can walk freely around everywhere.

There's a booth to buy the ticket to get onto the stages and a programme to show you how to get to them.
Most stages are only a short drive away.

It is not a timed event but most drivers are using full throttle.

To find the dates just Google Eifel rallye 2018 early next year,or if I see it first I'll post it here.
I've been 3 times to this,shows the high regard I have for the event.

Daun is near the Nurburgring if that takes your fancy too.
