    NEW Press Information Coburg, December 10th, 2010 NEW 2 The legend returns. The NEW STRATOS will be officially presented on 29./30.11.2010, at the Paul Ricard Circuit in Le Castellet. The legendary Lancia Stratos HF was without a doubt the most spectacular and successful rally car of the 70s. With its thrilling lines and uncompro- mising design tailored to rally use, the Stratos not only single-handedly rewrote the history of rallying, it won a permanent place in the hearts of its countless fans with its dramatic performance on the world’s asphalt and gravel tracks – a performance which included three successive world championship titles. For Michael Stoschek, a collector and driver of historic racing cars, as well as a successful entrepreneur in the automotive supply industry, the development and construction of a modern version of the Stratos represents the fulfillment of a long-held dream. Back in 2003, the dream had already begun to take on a concrete form; now, at last, it has become a reality: In November 2010, forty years after the Stratos’ presentation at the Turin Motor Show, the New Stratos will be publicly presented for the first time at the Paul Ricard Circuit. The legend returns. NEW 3 A retrospective. It all began in 1970, at the Turin exhibition stand of the automobile designer, Bertone. The extreme Stratos study on display there – a stylistic masterpiece by the designer Marcello Gandini – didn’t just excite visitors, but caught the attention of Cesare Fiorio, Lancia’s team manager at the time… and refused to let go.

  • Stars of the Stage
    STARS OF THE STAGE When the World Rally Championship first began in 1973, only the car manufacturers fought for a crown; it wasn’t until 1979 that the drivers were recognised with their own world title. They soon made up for lost time, however, and over the past four decades the WRC has been a constant source of drama, heroism and displays of unbelievable skill. So as the Festival celebrates 40 years of the World Rally Drivers’ Championship this weekend, we remember some of those who have fought for and won the sport’s greatest prize STORY BY ANGUS FRAZER Left: Petter Solberg and co-driver Phil Mills celebrate victory in the 2002 Rally GB. Right: Sébastien Ogier powers his Citroën to third in the 2019 Argentine Rally Rallying’s first World Champion proved that while sublime skill and dogged determination are both prerequisites for victory, ruthlessness Björn is not. Described by those who knew him as a true gentleman (and sometimes as a teddy bear), the late Björn Waldegård won the inaugural World Rally Drivers’ Championship in 1979 (prior to that, the competition had Waldegård been held for two years as an FIA ‘Cup for Drivers’, won by Sandro Munari in 1977 and Markku Alén in 1978). All through that season, Waldegård battled Hannu Mikkola, his team-mate not just at Ford in the pace-setting Escort RS but also at Mercedes-Benz. The German company had 1979 hired the duo to pilot the powerful if unwieldy 5.0-litre V8 automatic 450SLC Coupé on the Safari and Ivory Coast events.

  • KING of the ROAD Racing Legend Walter Röhrl Warms to the New 911 As He Takes Us Along on the Key Stage of the Monte Carlo Rally
    CHRISTOPHORUS | 353 CHRISTOPHORUS | 353 KING OF THE ROAD Racing legend Walter Röhrl warms to the new 911 as he takes us along on the key stage of the Monte Carlo Rally. Th e Col de Turini gives driver and car a chance to shine. By David Staretz Photos by Bernd Kammerer e rsch Foto o lin P k 72 73 CHRISTOPHORUS | 353 CHRISTOPHORUS | 353 KING OF THE ROAD Tunnel of love: A new take on speed within the limits of Monegasque law. limb Mount Everest with Reinhold Messner, go to a red-carpet event with Karl Lagerfeld or Angelina Jolie, have dinner with Paul Bocuse, C play 18 holes with Tiger Woods … those scenarios all sound pretty special. But I can add one that’s even more exciting (i.e., faster): a trip up the Col de Turini in the new 911 with Walter Röhrl. Th e Col de Turini is a pass in the Massif du Mercantour in the French Maritime Alps. But it’s much more than just a geographical location—it elicits a wealth of associations for racing buff s. No one could tell more authentically about this special leg of the Monte Carlo Rally than Röhrl, who won the rally four times. “Up to 30,000 people would be waiting for us up at the top of the pass. You would come speeding up over the last hump toward the pass and suddenly you’d be blinded by a wall of camera fl ashes. And the next second, you’d go hur- tling down the next side again on icy roads.” In the so-called Night of Turini—also known as the “Night of the Long Knives” due to the strong high-beam lights cutting through the night—in which race-car drivers have to navigate the Turini up to three times, the pressure on the lead driver is enormous.

  • Press Release Pirelli Celebrates the Bs3: 60
    PRESS RELEASE PIRELLI CELEBRATES THE BS3: 60 YEARS AGO, THE TYRE THAT WORE A WINTER COAT WAS BORNTHE SAME TYRE, BUT WITH AN INTERCHANGEABLE TREAD PATTERN The BS3 was one of most innovative ideas ever seen for winter driving: one of the founder members of an illustrious family of dedicated Pirelli winter tyres that now ranges from the Scorpion to the P Zero, as well as the Cinturato. Milan, 4 November 2019 - In October of 1959, Pirelli launched an incredible new tyre at the Turin Motor Show, which would change the face of winter driving. Back then, as is still the case now, autumn was the time when people started to think about preparing themselves and their cars for the winter season ahead. But they never expected the invention from Pirelli that they were presented with in Turin 60 years ago, called the BS3. In Italian, this stood for ‘battistrada separata’, or ‘separate tread’. The clue was in the name. This truly innovative tyre consisted of a carcass and tread pattern as usual, but these were not vulcanised (or ‘cooked’) together, which meant that tread patterns could be switched easily without even removing the wheel from the car, like taking on or putting off a coat. This allowed the actual tyre to be conveniently adapted for either winter or summer conditions, depending on the season. It was an innovative concept that remained in production for a number of years: foreshadowing the idea of switching tyres for each season. A TOUCH OF ITALIAN GENIUS Nothing like it had ever been seen before in the industry, making this a truly disruptive technology at the time.

  • Una Carrera Con Historia
    Una carrera con historia Para encontrar el germen de esta prueba hay que remontarse a 1952, cuando se celebraba el primer Rallye Bilbao Firestone. Ya en los sesenta, coincidiendo con la inauguración de la planta Firestone de Burgos, se celebró el primer Rally Firestone, organizado por el Real Automóvil Club de España en octubre de 1967. Ese primer año la prueba ya sería valedera para el Campeonato de España. En los años venideros la prueba sufriría una importante evolución: En noviembre de 1968 sería ya la Real Peña Motorista de Vizcaya la encargada de la organización de la prueba, que se celebraría anualmente hasta 1979 (excepto 1978). Rally Firestone 1968: Parque Cerrado El Arenal (Bilbao). Foto: Revista Fórmula Desde 1972 la prueba sería puntuable para el Campeonato Europeo de Rallyes, hecho que se celebró montando el Parque Cerrado en el coso de la Plaza de Toros de Bilbao, y que para años sucesivos condicionaría el cambio de fechas, pasando a celebrarse en primavera. Tras cesar Firestone como patrocinador en 1979, pasa a llamarse Rallye CS y sigue siendo valedero para el Campeonato de Europa, celebrándose 3 ediciones con este nombre desde 1980 hasta 1982. Durante aquella época de oro participaron en los Rallyes Firestone y CS pilotos míticos como Jorge de Bagration, Jean Todt, Sandro Munari, Antonio Zanini, Ari Vatanen o Walter Rohrl; a bordo de vehículos espectaculares como los Lancia Fulvia, Porsche 911, Fiat 124 Abarth, Alpine 1800, Lancia Stratos, Opel Ascona, Simca 1200 o Seat 1430-1800 Tras la celebración de aquellas dieciséis ediciones, la prueba cayó en el olvido hasta que, en 2006, resurgió de la mano de la RPMV, que ha rescatado la prueba en formato de Regularidad Histórica.

  • Timeless Performance
    TIMELESS PERFORMANCE POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL www.pirelli.com FOR PIRELLI, INNOVATION IS A TRADITION Backed by a highly-successful sporting tradition, Pirelli now breathes new life into the illustrious rally cars of the time with the P7™ CORSA Classic range. Rather than a new version, it is an innovative reinterpretation of the “competition king”. P7™ CORSA Classic combines the Pirelli elements that make the difference: third-millennium technical specifications for structure and special tread pattern, in order to enjoy maximum performance in complete safety, but also the appearance of the sidewall that matches the vehicles for which it is designed, thus helping to maintain the original look, right down to the smallest details. As part of the design, Pirelli engineers utilised the parameters of prototypes of the time, maintaining the stiffness characteristics specified for the special suspensions that only those rally cars used when racing. Nevertheless, P7™ CORSA Classic is the fruit of current times: it utilises green, highly aromatic oil Tour de Corse 1984 - LANCIA RALLY 037 free (HAOF) compounds and complies with the very latest regulations governing noise levels. A perfect “high-performance” integration of past and present. Midway through the 70s, Pirelli revolutionised the story of road sports and rally car tyres with P7™, a concentrated mix of technological innovation: a tubeless, ultra-low-profile radial tyre having 0° nylon belt. The doubled contact patch area, structural stability at high speeds and possibility of fitting rims with larger diameter (ideal for larger, more powerful brakes and more practical suspension housing) have accompanied and assisted the development of increasingly sophisticated, safe and high-performance vehicles.

Juli 2015) Daun, 19.07.2015 Presseinfo 09 ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival 2015 – Endlich geht’s los • Walter Röhrl: Das macht mich gefühlt jünger • Sandro Munari: Bis ins kleinste Detail so wie früher • Volles Programm mit vielen Highlights Es ist endlich soweit, das lange Warten auf das ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (23. – 25. Juli 2015) hat ein Ende. Teilnehmer und Fans freuen sich auf die fünfte Auflage des größten rollenden Rallye-Museums in der Vulkaneifel am kommenden Wochenende. Schirmherr Walter Röhrl fasste seine Emotionen so zusammen: „Es gibt keinen zweiten Ort, wo die gesamte Rallye-Geschichte in dieser Form gezeigt wird. Das macht mich ein bisserl im Gefühl jünger. Egal, wo ich hinschaue, es schaut aus wie vor 25 - 30 Jahren.“ Große Vorfreude auch bei den Italienern Sandro Munari und Co-Pilot Piero Sodano. Der Weltpokalsieger von 1977 plant einen Ausflug mit Familie und Freunden in die Eifel. „Es soll alles so sein wie früher, bis ins kleinste Detail“, erklärt das Lancia-Urgestein. „Wir haben uns neue Overalls machen lassen mit den heutigen Sicherheitsvorgaben, aber vom Design her genau so wie früher. Auch unser Stratos wurde nochmals genau auf den Stand von der Monte 77 angepasst.“ Donnerstag: Auftakt am ‚Mantaloch‘ Am Donnerstag bebt ab 15.30 Uhr die Vulkaneifel, wenn die 150 Boliden bis 19.30 Uhr in Brück am ‚Mantaloch‘ erstmals die Triebwerke zünden. Unter den Fans hat sich inzwischen herumgesprochen, dass es hier perfekte Gelegenheiten gibt, den Welt- und Europameistern sehr nahe zu kommen.
