Enzo Michelini and his Fiat 131 were included by Tobias Mattner and Uwe Materlik (+2016) in their Italo Rally Car series and both encouraged him to take part in the Eifel. "It was precisely this 131 Abarth that Walter Röhrl and Christian Geistdörfer drove in 2013 for filming in Portugal (Aganil). My personal highlight in the Vulkaneifel in 2018 was the start with the Stratos Gr.4 (replica San Remo Winner 1979)!"
Enzo considers the rally mile and the variety of participating vehicles to be indispensable. On the other hand, he would rather do without too much gravel on the 'perfect tracks.
"For me, the meeting with many people from many countries with the same crazy hobby is always a pleasure. I like the fact that the festival has definitely moved in the right direction in terms of safety - rider suits, helmets, rollover devices, seats, fire extinguishers - and I'm really looking forward to my 11th start this summer. My final three words: simply awesome event!"
