Rallye Masters 2007.

Anton Werner and Ralph Edelmann have won the ADAC Rallye Masters championship {link} driving their Porsche GT3. Reviving Porsche’s rallying tradition in Germany Werner/Edelmann had to wait until the last round to secure the title. 2007 was the first year that GT cars were allowed to enter the Rallye Masters championship so it was pleasing for the Porsche GT3 team to win the championship immediately. The Bavarian GT3 team won the championship by a mere 2 points from the second placed Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution team.
Despite the fact that GT3 has been successfully competing on rallies in Belgium for a couple years 2007 was the first year that it could compete on German stages. Other GT cars have also been competing elsewhere in Europe including the Aston Martin GT in Britain.
