Stig Blomqvist, born in 1946 in Örebro, Sweden, was a calm and calculated rally driver known for his icy nerves and expert control. His reputation was forged on snow-covered stages in Sweden, but he quickly expanded his dominance to international events. A key figure in the Group B era, Blomqvist became a symbol of Scandinavian consistency and technical finesse, especially behind the wheel of the Audi Quattro.
Blomqvist was known for letting his results speak louder than words, earning respect across teams and continents.
Stig’s mechanical sympathy and precise throttle control made him a factory favorite for both development and results.
Blomqvist’s approach was smooth, efficient, and deceptively fast. He avoided theatrics in favor of clean lines and split-second decision-making. His mastery of loose surfaces—particularly snow—made him a formidable force in Nordic rallies. As part of Audi’s Quattro program, he helped validate AWD as the new standard, contributing quietly but significantly to the technical evolution of rallying.
Blomqvist worked with co-drivers like Björn Cederberg, forming a durable and effective team throughout the 1980s. Their chemistry was based on trust and minimal distraction, which suited Blomqvist’s focused nature. Together, they tackled events with discipline and clarity, playing a key role in Audi’s world title campaigns and endurance-focused rallies alike.
