Unfortunately Eifel Rallye 2025 has not really gone to plan. On the afternoon loop of stages yesterday, a problem with the differential in the Puma gearbox raised its ugly head. After inspection at service the decision to withdraw the car was regrettably taken but as gearbox parts are difficult to obtain now it was the best decision. George had his original Mouton / Pons Gp.4 works Audi Quattro from 1981 Acropolis Rally on static display and over dinner last night it was provisionally agreed with the organisers that Ryan and Geoff could use this car instead for today's 8 stages.So a late night for us last night moving safety equipment etc from the Puma to the Audi as the equipment in the Audi was original and very out of date and the car was ready for scrutinering at 8am this morning. However, the original registration documents are safely locked up in an office in Austria which meant they could not be presented to the organisers this morning and that was the end of that. George and Allan are still running in the ex Robert Droogmans Belga Porsche and all is OK for them so with the sun shining and the big crowds of people attending the event, we will continue to try and enjoy the rest of the weekend. ...
