What we could do, was offer him a completely blank canvas. Which Christian filled in with a very personal portrait. No man is better placed to tell us about one of the most talented rallymen of his generation than Christian Geistd\u00f6rfer. He was by Walter\u2019s side through most of his career, and in all the rounds when they campaigned for the world rally championship. Christian beautifully describes what happened when they realized Walter\u2019s big goal: winning the Monte Carlo rally. And how it was anything but clear that they were to continue competing, with the big goal now attained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large.jpg\" class=\"mfp-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3697 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-370x523.jpg 370w, https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-185x262.jpg 185w, https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-20x28.jpg 20w, https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-400x566.jpg 400w, https:\/\/taziomagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/A170260_large-34x48.jpg 34w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Photo Audi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We also get to see a very personal side of Walter, and Christian covers the last couple of years as well, which has brought the duo to prestigious events like Goodwood, Monte Carlo Historique and the Mille Miglia.
