- Rally Deutschland

---

The second asphalt rally of the season is held in the wine-producing Mosel region, near to the historic city of Trier. This may be a pure asphalt event, but it has one of the widest varieties of sealed surfaces on the calendar. As such, it's a tricky event that demands the very best from drivers.

Trier is one of Germany's oldest cities, but it has a young and lively population thanks to the famous university. Most of the town looks like something you'd expect to find on the lid of a Swiss chocolate box. There are lots of quaint half-timbered Hansel and Gretel-style houses, often painted in bright colours. There's loads of atmosphere, but, perhaps more importantly, there's lots of beer. Almost every other building appears to be a bar, serving steins of the superb local brews. It's not just beer that's supped by the locals,
