Reini Sampl is the racing wheelchair driver of the Austrian motorsport scene. At the Murtal Rally, the 50-year-old is fulfilling a big dream that he has been working towards for two years. In the video, he explains his unique rally car.

There's no such thing as impossible! That's what Reini Sampl thought when he was advised against fulfilling a childhood dream for years. "I grew up with Walter Röhrl and the Audi quattro S1 on TV. That was always an icon for me - driver and car alike! I always wanted to have a car like that. But you can't buy the originals because there are only twenty of them left, and they cost well over a million euros," says Sampl as he shows the Krone his unique car in the paddock.
