WALTER RÖHRL👑👊🏾 GOAT in ALL Motorsport Categories. So undeniably talented and with the Brass Balls to go along with his heart and skill.

“I expect all cars to be AWD some day” It’s definitely getting a lot closer to this prediction now, some 30+ years later.

Just two words - or better, one name - to say: WALTER RÖHRL!!! It wasn´t AYRTON SENNA who became the best driver in motorsport. No, it was and still is, WALTER RÖHRL!. If he´d driven in monoposto series, he would have vaporized them all... even SENNA wouldn't have been a true match for him! Walter was a Rallye driver but also a low profile guy. Without a doubt, the fastest ever! His Pikes Peak record will never be touched. Sebastien Loeb (Rallye driver as well) made his 2013 PP record under totally different conditions. Walter drove the Audi Quattro on gravel. This record is for ages! Walter was capable of things never thought possible, no matter what auto brand he drove ! He could have driven a tractor and still would be minutes ahead of all the others.

Walter Röhrls Pikes Peak record was broken several times. The true all-time record for the gravel track was set by Rod Millen in 1994 with a 10:04.60, over 43sec faster than Röhrl.

I agree that Millen and Tajima is truly masters of the mountain, when it comes to the insane Pikes Peak special purpose built cars.. while Rörhl is part the OG crew, when you look at the youth of turbo cars that still had carburetor engines. But the real kings of that event is, like the Dunlop reigns at Isle of Man, is the Unser family.. Louis Unser being the real wild man, doing what Brabham, Clark, Hill and Stewart did in the early days of F1.. those cars were so basic and still he drove the wheels off them

And to comment on the thread's main line. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, comes near what the Formula One cars are.. Before 2006, with V10 and V12 that made such beautiful noise, but especially before 1990 where it was the insane turbo engines.. Before 1970, rally was not popular at all, since the concept of it is another of what we know today

That is such a lousy argument.. did you even consider it, while writing? Seriously doubting the rest of your comment, on behalf of the first sentence.. Firstly you start with insulting the person, not my statement. Which is a negative result for you already.. But trying to argue, that a well-known bad car design is due to individual experience. That is damm near laughable

Никогда бы не подумал, что англоязычное комьюнити такое глупое. Один прославляет Вальтера Рёрля, хотя он набрал меньше очков, чем остальные пилоты. Другой называет мерседес немецкой командой в ф1 и все забывают упомянуть, что ауди была единственной, кто использовал полный привод. Чистый маркетинг.

Walter was in development and was only a substitute driver for Stuck. He always found circuits boring compared to rallying. But he drove almost everything that had 4 wheels, until today at the age of 76. Also mountain bike and skis. Professionals look bad there.

@apollinarumrestriger6663 Walter didn't want to become champion and it wasn't the order he had from Audi. He was responsible for development and was only supposed to help the other pilots. Haywood should be champion. Point. He was the most complete driver of his time, regardless of the car. Rally drivers are the best.

Well There wasnt much else to see. Audi dominated the season with 8wins outta 13 race. Drivers and Constructor championship. Despite the Trans Am official forcing Them to add Wright and reducing turbo Inlet to slow Them. They eventually kicked 4wd cars outta that series... So Audi went to IMSA GTO and did the same again... Just crushing the competition
