AUDI QUATTRO BELGA 1985 SPA BJORN WALDEGAARD



Björn Waldegaard / Thorzelius - Audi Quattro A2 the winner of 1985 Boucles de Spa.
 

Marc Duez / Thimonier was second best in Mazda RX7 while Bernard Munster / Bozet  (Audi  Quattro) completed the podium.
 

Heard that the tail end of the rally was dramatic, filled with misfortunes, opportunistic breaks and eventful drives.



Waldegaard was struggling and stuck in a heavier than expected snow. Demuth, who was in the Societa Italiana Vetro Audi, led by a whopping 20 minutes only to be stopped by breakdowns.



Duez took over the lead until his Perilli repeatedly punctured.
 When the dust settled, Waldegaard came home with a huge 6 minutes plus margin.


Pardon my pix, believe me the car is much better than it looks.
