24h Nürburgring – Die Geschichte der ersten 40 Rennen
Twenty-four hours at full speed on the Green Hell – every year, this unique challenge lures some hundreds of thousands of motor sport fans to the Nürburgring. No other motor sport event attracts as many drivers and spectators as does the 24 Hours Nürburgring on the Nordschleife. Since its creation in 1970, the race has been marked by contrasts: young drivers against older ones, professionals against amateurs, and touring cars against sports cars. And dialled into those equations is the unpredictable and unforgiving weather of the Eifel. This endurance race on the most beautiful and the most difficult circuit in the World occasionally discovered new rising stars, but also shattered the dreams of many others. But for sure, those 24 hours were never boring.

This official book covers the complete history of the 24 Hours Nürburgring, from its first race in 1970, to the latest one in 2012. The authors of the book are well-known in motor sport publishing. Wilfried Müller and Jörg Ufer describe the evolution of the most popular race in Germany, from its creation to what it is today. They tell fascinating inside stories of the race and feature the drivers who helped to make this race a true legend, men like Volker Strycek, Walter Röhrl, or Olaf Manthey and his incredible team. Furthermore, this lavishly illustrated book also contains the complete results of the forty races held since the creation of the event.

When rally fans hear the name Toivonen, they immediately think of breathtaking performances and glorious victories. But it is also hard
to forget the accident on the 1986 Tour de Corse that took the lives of Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto and which eventually
brought Group B rallying to an end. Henri was one of the most exceptional rally drivers in history. His inspiring performances in the Talbot
Sunbeam Lotus, Opel Ascona 400, Porsche 911 SCRS and Lancia Rally 037 are all well-remembered. But it was the Lancia Delta S4 that really
showcased Henri’s ability with victories in the RAC and Monte Carlo rallies, the latter twenty years after his father’s own triumph in the
Principality.

This book tells the fascinating story of the Toivonen family in rallying and racing. It starts with father Pauli’s heroic drives in the 1950s
and 1960s, including winning the European Rally title of 1968 at the wheel of a Porsche 911. It moves on to include the first exploits of the
next generation on frozen lakes right up to the contrasting careers and fortunes of Henri and brother Harri in motor sport. Author Esa Illoinen
immersed himself deeply in the Toivonen family history and spoke to innumerable friends and witnesses of those days. Amongst them were with
Pauli’s widow, Ulla, Henri’s widow, Erja, and even Henri’s 95-year old English teacher. The result is an intimate and touching portrait of
Finland’s fastest family, wonderfully illustrated by the best images from the inexhaustible McKlein archive.

Walter Röhrl, the double World Rally Champion of 1980 and 1982, is still today one of the most famous sportsmen in Germany. His name is forever
associated with rallying and exciting cars like the Audi Sport Quattro E2. For the last twenty years or more he has been representing and working
as test driver for Porsche. The best selling edition of “Walter Röhrl – Aufschrieb” from 2002 told the full story of the prodigiously successful
driver from Regensburg. Now Röhrl and his co-author, Wilfried Müller, have reworked and adapted that edition.

“Walter Röhrl – Aufschrieb Evo 2″ has a completely new layout with more than 40% of new texts and 90% of new pictures. It also contains new chapters
containing stories as retold by key figures in his competition career like Christian Geistdörfer, Dieter Basche and Karl-Heinz Goldstein. The new
edition also has a 16-page chapter that includes reproductions of original documents from the Sanremo Rally 1985 – the sole victory of the monstrous
Audi Sport Quattro E2 that came in the hands of Walter Röhrl. This upgraded and almost new edition of Walter Röhrl’s biography is for sure something
that every fan of Röhrl and of motor sport will treasure.

Most rally fans still have fond memories of the 70s. It was a time when heroes like Walter Röhrl, Sandro Munari, and Markku Alén were
driving in full drifts with opposite lock and when the Stratos filled whole ralleys with its unique sound. The great years of Group 4
supremacy were spectacular, adventurous and especially diverse. A dozen or so manufacturers built cars that were able to win WRC rallies.

Group 4 saw sports cars like Alpines and Porsche 911s compete against saloons like the Ford Escort, Opel Kadett or Fiat 131 until finally
the revolutionary Quattro came and took rallying to the next level. In the book “Group 4 – From Stratos to Quattro”, authors John Davenport
and Reinhard Klein describe the history of these legendary rally cars, they review the first WRC years from 1973 to 1982 and tell some of
the stories from that wild and tough era.

A proven content presented in a new guise: The new edition of this standard work comes in the smaller format of 24.5 x 30cms
and with just one language per book. This gave the authors Reinhard Klein and John Davenport the chance to include even more
fascinating images from rallying’s wildest period when limits were seemingly non-existent. To this day, many fans still
consider Group B to be the epitome of madness on wheels. Never since that era have engineers had such enormous freedom to
create extreme rally cars as they did during that fantastic period of the early 1980s.

This book tells the story of all the cars developed within Group B, from the Quattros to the outstanding Lancias and Peugeots and
to the exotic sports cars from Porsche and Mazda. But all the technical development came to a head in the year 1986, when the
euphoria somehow turned into an ungovernable risk. The mischief of engineers, rally organisers, motor sport politicians and fans
led to tragic accidents that finally resulted in Group B cars being banned from international rallies.

John Davenport, rally-journalist and author of several books on rallying, experienced this era first-hand, as he was Motorsport
Director of Austin Rover at the time. His comprehensive knowledge takes the reader on a journey into the fascinating world of these
hi-tech rally cars and offers an authoritative insight into the power struggles going on behind the scenes.

The book is filled with photographs from the archive of well known rally-photographer Reinhard Klein. They show to best effect the
technical details of the cars, the slightly crazy ambiance of the time as well as plenty of action from the special stages.

For us, working on the “Owner’s Edition” means unconditional dedication to the subject matter and will result not just in another Group B book,
but in the “ultimate” one. Our goal is to let you immerse yourself as deeply into the world of Group B as we do right now.

What about the fascination of these dangerous days and crazy stories from an era when anything was possible: Did you know that Audi was planning
a direct refuelling system for the Safari Rally using a light aircraft, similar to the US air force system, just to avoid having to actually stop
for fuel? What about the chassis numbers, how many of each car was really made, and where were they used? Why did a few people get very rich from
Group B and a few went to jail? We try to bring the true stories to light.

The authors will be the best journalists and photographers in each country telling the stories which only now, twenty years later, can be told and
showing things you have never seen before. Our McKlein archive alone has so much unpublished shots from that era, that pictorially this book will be
totally unique. We also want to show you those Group B cars with which you are unfamiliar and present images of all Group B cars on large pages in a
BIG format so that you can see all the detail.

This will be the ultimate book for the people who like these cars, or who restore or collect them, and want to know and see more about Group B
rallying. For these people we plan to make the “Owner’s Edition” – a book without any compromise or limitations.
