Overview
Walter Röhrl, born in 1947 in Regensburg, Germany, is widely regarded as one of the most naturally gifted rally drivers in history. Standing over 6'5" tall, Röhrl was an unlikely figure behind the wheel, but his analytical approach and unmatched car control made him a formidable competitor. Emerging as a top talent in the 1970s, he won with both factory-backed and privateer entries, showcasing unmatched adaptability. Known for his intense focus and distaste for politics, Röhrl let his driving do the talking — and the world took notice.
