The 1971 Alpenfahrt combined traditional alpine charm with fiercely competitive rallying across gravel-dusted mountain passes. Known for its narrow roads and sweeping elevation changes, the Austrian Alpine Rally rewarded precision, throttle discipline, and strong mechanical endurance.
The route snaked through the Austrian Alps, including segments in the Tyrol, Salzburg, and Carinthian regions, with a blend of long climbs and loose-surface descents.
The rally offered stunning views—and constant danger—with guardrail-free ledges and narrow widths leaving no room for error.
Källström’s blend of aggression and control allowed the front-wheel-drive Fulvia to shine on gravel hairpins, taking the win over the rear-engined Alpine threat.
The 1971 Österreichische Alpenfahrt was a celebration of rally tradition and mechanical tenacity, where Källström and Billstam delivered a definitive alpine triumph for Lancia.
