Ihle Motorsport at the 2026 Lavanttal Rally in Austria

From April 9, 2026, to April 11, 2026, the Ihle Motorsport team will once again head to Carinthia, Austria, for the Lavanttal Rally 2026. Wolf-Dieter Ihle and Sven Belz will be at the starting line in the legendary Audi Sport quattro S1.

The Audi Sport quattro S1 is one of the most famous cars in rally history and, like almost no other car, epitomizes the spectacular Group B era. With its short wheelbase, striking appearance, and powerful turbocharged engine, it remains a true highlight for motorsport fans to this day.

Anticipation for the rally weekend is high. The challenging routes around Wolfsberg promise exciting special stages and ideal conditions for a special motorsport experience.

The Ihle Motorsport team is looking forward to the 2026 Lavanttal Rally and a strong weekend in Austria.

Ihle Motorsport at the Central European Rally 2025

From October 16 to 19, 2025, Ihle Motorsport will be competing in the Central European Rally – a spectacular WRC event through Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. As part of the historic "Slowly Sideways" program, the original Opel Ascona A will be driven by Wolf-Dieter Ihle and his co-driver Sven Belz. It is the Opel Ascona in which rally legend Walter Röhrl celebrated his first World Championship victory at the Acropolis Rally exactly 50 years ago.

(Unfortunately, Walter Röhrl cannot participate in the rally himself in "his" Opel Ascona at short notice, as originally planned.)

The venerable Ascona A Group 2, which has been painstakingly restored by Ihle Motorsport, will be brought back to life on selected special stages – a true journey back in time for fans and participants.

With stops in Passau, Český Krumlov, Klatovy and the Mühlviertel region, the Central European Rally offers a special experience for all rally enthusiasts.

Eifel Rallye Festival – July 2025

From July 24 to 26, 2025, Ihle Motorsport will take part in the Eifel Rallye Festival in the Vulkaneifel region, with driver Wolf Dieter Ihle and co-driver Sven Belz behind the wheel.
The legendary event in Daun brings over 160 historic rally cars to the tarmac and celebrates motorsport heritage with a truly unique atmosphere. Ihle Motorsport will compete in the powerful Opel Ascona 400 RA 48 – a true classic with character that brings rally history back to life. This particular car is the third-to-last of only 36 factory-built works vehicles, internally known as RA 48 and affectionately nicknamed “Gringo” – originally campaigned by the renowned Rothmans Opel Rally Team.
The festival program includes scrutineering and car displays in the city center, followed by a variety of demonstration and regularity stages on Friday and Saturday – including the popular Rally Mile, drag races, and a large stage show.
A true rally fan’s weekend – live on-site in the Eifel or online via the festival channels. We’re looking forward to three days packed with sound, action, and emotion!
