Sometimes, meeting someone for coffee can be a life-changing event.
in 1987, during the hunsrück rally, i invited world champion Walter röhrl to
join me for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake – and he accepted. Five
years later, the two of us paired up for my very first rally. Since then, i’ve been
having the time of my life – since taking up a sport in which time plays such
an important role. Whether you’re dealing with a countdown or a time trial,
one thing is always the same: hours, minutes and seconds mean the differ-
ence between victory and being an also-ran.
now, after 18 years in rally racing and more than 250 events all over the world
– from small-scale regularity tests to the legendary dakar rally – i have seen
again and again that a stopwatch is the most important tool a co-driver and
navigator can have. and if you are fortunate enough to own a chronograph
that was designed and engineered with rally racing in mind, “taking time” is
even more fun, and makes the navigator’s task much easier.
