This year's Mille Miglia will be partially sponsored by
Audi and the quad-ring crew is tapping
Audi Tradition to pull six vehicles from the automaker's storied history out of the museum and onto the road. In attendance this year will be three Wanderer W25s from 1936, 1927 and 1938, each powered by the original, 55 hp engines, along with one DKW 3=6 and two DKW Monzas. With that kind of historic iron participating in the 1,000-mile rally,
Audi needs competent drivers behind the wheel. While we can't attest to the driving prowess of Rupert Stadler,
Audi's board chair; Stephan Grühsem, VAG's head of communications; famous German actor Tomas Heinze; or Toni Melfi, head of communications for
Audi, we're sure that two-time World Rally Champion Christian Geistdörfer won't have a problem piloting any of the vehicles that helped to forge
Audi's legacy.
Hit the jump for all the details on the drivers and the cars.Continue reading
