This epic film by Helmut Deimel is a superb record of the tough conditions faced by the drivers and cars as they covered every surface that East Africa could offer: billowing dust; clinging mud; unmade tracks through the bush; mountain passes strewn with boulders and roads under feet deep water.

Or as former Audi Works driver Michèle Mouton, who competed in this event, said: “This was not just a historic event, this was the real thing!”
