Revived as a shorter yet still formidable version of the famed pre-war Alpenfahrt, the 1970 Austrian Alpine Rally put drivers through high-altitude gravel stages surrounded by alpine peaks, with rapid elevation changes and technical challenges defining the event.
The rally’s layout featured winding mountain roads and off-camber gravel corners spread across the Austrian Alps.
Tire management and engine braking were critical, especially on descents with minimal grip and shifting surfaces.
Waldegård’s mastery of drifting and braking control on loose gravel made the difference, with the Porsche 911 S proving adaptable in high-altitude terrain.
The 1970 Alpenfahrt proved that even in a reduced format, the rally remained a serious test of mechanical toughness and mountain driving skill.
