Today has been a bad day for the team #51! Alireza & Mathieu did a great start this morning despite of the bad weather conditions. The Porsche 356 did a nice score for the first time trial on the ABT VW tuning company, and then they have been riding the Allgäu hills before crossing the Austrian border. There, Alireza really enjoyed driving in the Tirol mountains before going back to Germany and passing along the beautiful Alpsee in Immenstadt where they enjoyed the typical Bavarian Lunch.

At the 201th km, the Porsche 356 Frederique Constant has been stopped by a mechanical break. The team has been waiting the assistance car on the side of the road for 40 minutes and finally went back to Ulm with the Schlussfahrzeug – last rally escorting car, where as the tow car was bringing the Porsche back to Ulm.
The Porsche had been fully checked by professional old-timer technicians: engine had been fully disassembled to find out that the clutch was broken. After few hours of hope and suspense, the team has learned that the Porsche won’t be able to continue the rally. Due to the age of the car the required spare parts could not be delivered before the next 7 days. Alireza finally managed to find a car to allow the team #51 to continue the rally and reach Hannover on Saturday! Stay tuned to know more about this new dream car!
