MINI EUROPE RALLY '98 
FINAL RESULTS 

Navigation

And here they are: the overall winners of the MER 1998:

Susanna and Bernhard Bolognesi (CH)

flanked from last years winners Birgit Slawik and Heiko Schultz (D).
Isn't it an ugly trophy? But - to be honest, I guess every participant would like to carry it home, including us - of course.
Next you'll find the final results of the two classes:
  • Touring Class
  • Rally Class
    In the Touring Class the puzzling element takes a greater part and therefore the average speeds are a little bit lower than in the Rally Class. Independent from the two classes one of the "Special Cups" could be won.

    SPECIAL CUPS
    Team-No. Country Names
    Ladys Cup

    7 D Petra Kathofer / Bettina Dahlhues

    This is a special cup for all women-only-teams in both classes. Nice to see a Touring Class team win one of the special cups. Not only reaching place 3 in the Touring Class - and all this with a very nice looking Mini 30 (1000cc)!

    Slalom Cup

    45 CH Gregor Nick / Urs Eichenholzer

    Winning the Slalom Cup with a van! Must be a good driver - and a well prepared car. Gregor Nick (Nick's garage) always gave a helping hand when someone had a problem with his car. He must have had all of his garage tools in the back of the van!

    Press Cup

    22 D "Mini Zeitung" (Sigi Lorenz / Ralph Lorenz)

    Sigi and Ralf beat the major Mini magazines "Mini Word" and "Mini Magazine"! Fantastic editing and fantastic driving! Hopefully they continue with both of their hobbies.
