Winners of the Eifel Rallye Festivals 2012
Surprising result of the SMS voting: The longest rally car and the most modern rally car turned out to be the crowd favourites during the 2012 Eifel Rallye Festival. The price for the most spectacular sideways driving was won by the enormous Mercedes 300 SE driven by Thomas Kübler and Max Hunzinger. With a length of 4.875 metres, the Mercedes from 1963 certainly has enough mass that can be moved sideways. In contrast, the Ford Focus WRC of James Avis and Peter Moss was crowned as the nicest vehicle of the event. The Focus is 38 years younger than the 300 SE! The third category, for the best rally car sound, was won by the Opel Ascona 400 of Jens Martin and Matthias Rombach.
For the course-opening cars, the favourites were already clear before the start of the event. These were Austrians Christof Klausner/Harald Söllner in their Audi Quattro specially built for great sideways action. Thus it did not come as a surprise that the Quattro drivers won this award. The prize for the nicest vehicle was won by local heroes Jürgen Lenarz/Thomas Fuchs who live directly next to the Hilgerath stage. And responsible for the best rally car was the BMW M3 of Steve Zimmer and Jean-Jacques Zimmer from Luxemburg.
