The rally in flashback
The winners’ list of the ADAC Rallye Deutschland is like a "who is who" of international rallying. At the first event, back in 1982, when start and finish were in Frankfurt am Main, victory went to Bavarian youngster Erwin Weber with his Opel Ascona 400, but one year later already, it was rallying legend Walter Röhrl, respected worldwide, who gave the European championship round its international flair with his Lancia.
Top class drivers, still well-known, such as Hannu Mikkola, Kalle Grundel, Jochi Kleint, Patrick Snijers, Piero Liatti, Robert Droogmans, Enrico Bertone or even the explosive French lady driver Michèle Mouton, are on the winners’ list of the ADAC Rallye Deutschland. Among the German winners are Erwin Weber (outright victories in 1982 and 1992) and Dieter Depping, the only driver so far to win the event three times (1994, 1996 and 1997).
For many a driver, this German top class event has provided a sound basis for an eventual European championship title. This was the case not only in 1992 for Erwin Weber, but also for Danish driver Henrik Lundgaard, the 2000 European champion and Armin Kremer in 2001.
Within the last 20 years, the rally’s headquarters moved many times and the selection of the itinerary underwent many changes, too. This provided a lot of experience for the rally-organisers of the ADAC. Frankfurt am Main, St. Wendel, Koblenz and Adenau – at the entrance of the infamous Nurburgring, were hosting the rally for many years. Since 2000, the ancient Roman city of Trier is the heart of German rallying, with its modern infrastructure. Since 2002 the rally is part of the World Rally Championship. Since then Sébastien Loeb won five times in a row.
