Röhrl Brought a Sedan to America. He Won by Over 80 Seconds.

In 1988, Walter Röhrl arrived at the Niagara Falls street circuit with an Audi that looked completely out of place—and proceeded to overwhelm America’s circuit-racing elite. More than a minute separated Röhrl from runner-up Scott Pruett at the finish, but the real mystery was how a rally driver found such a crushing advantage in the corners. This video explores Röhrl’s extraordinary performance, the unusual Audi he drove, and why a temporary American street circuit became the setting for one of racing’s most unexpected demonstrations of speed. #WalterRöhrl #Audi #Motorsport #RacingHistory #Rally #TransAm
