The S2000 has its engine back and we are back in the 4-wheel-drive game! Last weekend Saarland-Pfalz Rallye around St. Wendel took place. As Saarland-born for me this is certainly one of each season’s highlights, but the course of the season so far dampened our anticipation – too much shit happened this year and especially
FInally, after quite a while we saw the finish line! Though having to deal with a bunch of incidents even at Rallye Erzgebirge we were able to park our car at parc fermé in the end. Friday went quite optimal for us. Despite a non-perfect start we managed to stay the night in P10 overall
Although we put a lot of effort into, this season won’t really kick off properly… Yesterday, for Thomas and me Rallye Lavanttal ended with a loud bang (once again to early. After two retirements in Kempenich (front differential) and at Rebenland (alternator) we have to close the chapter Lavanttal Rallye once again without making it
Rallye Kempenich this weekend was planned as first rollout after the big winter revision at the Skoda and meanwhile the last test before the kickoff of Mitropa Rally Cup at Rebenland Rallye in Austria.

And there it is the fabulous 2022, in which so many put hope for massive improvements. In this sense I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! One thing upfront: I as well have similar hopes myself, but how the year will evolve is rather in my own hands than in the general
Rallye Hessisches Bergland last weekend took Thomas and me as close to the overall victory as never before. On the one hand it is really satisfying to see, where our current speed brought us after this season, on the other hand it is simply frustrating that the first overall victory in the S2000 didn’t work
A phone call this morning with bad news: Due to a sudden illness, Marvin has to cancel Sachsen Rallye which was planned for the upcoming weekend. As what we do is not undangerous, safety is absolutely the first priority. For rallying you need both, physical and mental health, so there is only one right decision
The second weekend in October took the German rally scene – so also me meanwile for the fifth time – to the proximity of the Austrian border in Freyung. For Thomas and me, 3 Städte Rallye formed the end of our engagement in the German Rally Championship this year as Thomas will not participate in the
