Walter Röhrl is one of the greatest drivers, if not the greatest World Rally driver of all time. The legendary Audi driver won everything with the quattro cars, from World Rally Championship events and the Pikes Peak Hillclimb.

He crashed an Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 at the Lavanttal Rallye event last weekend, something very rare for the rally legend. Luckily the damage was minimal. Here is a video from our friends at MotorsportSpielberg on YouTube.

Bangkok hosted the 2012 Race of Champions last weekend. A great field of superstars and world champions competing in two competitions, the Nations Cup and the Champion of Champions. Audi was very well represented at the event with Mr. Le Mans, Tom Kristensen, as well as the Audi R8 LMS, a car used by the drivers in the competition. In addition to the R16 there was an Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 Group B rally racer. A special event needs a special driver as well, and here it was Audi legend, Stig Blomqvist who was behind the wheel at the Bangkok Stadium.

A great video from drive on YouTube with a presentation by John Hindhaugh the voice of Radio Le Mans. One word, enjoy.
