For Demuth, a reunion also meant driving the ultimate ’winged monster‘, that Audi Sport Quattro E2 Pikes Peak in which Walter Röhrl won the 1987 Race to the Clouds. ”I was involved in the development of this car from the very beginning and was allowed to drive during the testing. For me, this E2 is the ultimate of all Audi Quattros“. Demuth had a special experience the year before. He was allowed to drive the über-Quattro on the original mountain in the Rocky Mountains

Eifel Rallye Festival 2011-2022 - The official book

A close look at the history books reveals that in the long history of the World Rally Championship, there had been only one event in which Walter Röhrl, Sandro Munari, Hannu Mikkola, Stig Blomqvist and Timo Salonen all took part. The RAC Rally of November 1977 was the only time that these five World stars had driven on the same event – that is until July 2015.
