Walter Röhrl, what a hero. :p

If you don't know him....

 

If you see the tree you are driving in to, you have under steered. If you only hear it, you have over steered. (Walter Röhrl)

 

You can't treat a car like a human being - a car needs love. (Walter Röhrl)

 

In Rally sport it is important that the car has a good handling...

you should find a balance between under- and oversteering...

with the tendency to drift... (Walter Röhrl)

 

I am not interested in winning by one second.

There are people who say: 'that was a really tough fight, I won by one second!'

I want to win by 10 minutes. That makes me happy! (Walter Röhrl)

 

Röhrl after an accident (in his Audi Quattro S1)

'Why didn't you call the turn?'

'I couldn't...'

(Copilot couldn't cope with the speed of the S1 and could not say a word)

 

When accelerating the tears of emotion have to run off horizontally to the ear. (Walter Röhrl)

 

As if someone smashes into the rear of your car at 30km/h at the red light.

(Walter Röhrl about the acceleration of the Audi Sport Quattro S1)

 

For me driving starts when I steer the car with the throttle pedal instead of the wheel.

Everything else is just doing work. (Walter Röhrl)

 

Good drivers have dead flies on the side windows. (Walter Röhrl)

 

:p

Wrong topic I guess?
