In the early 1900s the very first really tough rally was organized by the Imperial Automobile Club of Austria. The event was named the Alpine Rally. Back then, unpaved mountain roads provided the test track for various car manufacturers who wanted to demonstrate their products to the public.
Now, 100 years later, the Winter Trial has become the most testing event for driver and navigator as well as the machinery. For a successful winter event, it goes without saying that the weather must play ball and since the Winter Trial has gone east we have had just the right combination of snow, ice, fog, wind and occasionally even sunshine. A tough and demanding challenge for man and machine, recreating real hero’s.
