The Central Europe Rally through Hungary and Romania from 20 to 26 April marks the beginning of a new era for cross-country rally racing. Volkswagen Motorsport accepts this challenge and tackles a new rally organised by the A.S.O. – the organiser of the “Dakar” – besides the desert classic with four factory-fielded Race Touareg vehicles: Carlos Sainz/Michel Périn (E/F), Giniel de Villiers/Dirk von Zitzewitz (RSA/D), Mark Miller/Ralph Pitchford (USA/RSA) and Dieter Depping/Timo Gottschalk (D/D) will contest the Central Europe Rally that starts in Budapest and ends at Lake Balaton. The competition is fierce: like at the Dakar Rally, in Hungary and Romania the Mitsubishi and X-Raid-BMW teams as well as Robby Gordon rank among the closest rivals of the Volkswagen drivers. In a fifth Race Touareg Carlos Sousa/Andy Schulz (P/D) contest the event for the Lagos customer team.
