Walter Röhrl, 63, wins Costa Brava Rally

Famed German auto racer and official Porsche factory test driver, Walter Röhrl, just won Spain’s Costa Brava Rally - at 63 years of age.

He claimed the victory last weekend in the FIA European Rally Championship for Historical Cars, finishing the race in the Spanish town of Lloret de Mar with co-driver Peter Göbel.

Röhrl was European Rally Championship in 1974 and a four-time Monte Carlo Rally winner. Göbel has won the German Rally Champion four times.

The pair drove a re-built rally version of a 1981 Porsche 911 RSR to victory for Wolfgang Reile’s Classic Power Team.

Röhrl and Göbel secured an early lead in the Costa Brava Rally and despite difficult weather and track conditions, held on for the win.
