46th Lavanttal Rally

15 retirements! The winners even shot down a deer

Not even a wild animal could stop Simon Wagner and Lavanttal co-driver Gerald Winter at the 46th Lavanttal Rally. Compared to last year, there was a significantly higher number of retirements this year. And the night race proved to be a crowd-puller. . .

"I think this is my 20th time here. But it's never been this hard!" moaned Lavanttal co-driver Gerald Winter, who won the Lavanttal Rally for the second time with Simon Wagner despite massive back pain ("I'm pumped full of pills!").
