Here's some quick footage:
Rally Olympia was an one off rally event held in Germany in 1972, the year of the Kiel-Munich Olympic Games.
Competitors travelled from Kiel to Munich and drove special stages/Wertungsprüfungen (WP) during this trip.
The event celebrates its 50th anniversary this year with a revival rally.
WP02: Königslutter, WP03: Teufelsküche and WP04: Elm were all based in my local forest, the Elm.
On the 14th August 1972, from 17:30 onwards, more than 300 cars attempted these stages.
There never was a rally like this ever again in Germany and no Rally cars were seen in the Elm until 2022.
Close to no pictures or videos are publically available of these stages, so I tried to recreate what the stages were like back in the days.
This is the third of three stages that were published over the last months.
You can find the first stage here:
You can find the second stage here:
WP04 was won by Bernard Darniche in his Renault Alpine A110 in 2 minutes and 26 seconds.
The four kilometre track starts at the (now dry) Karauschenteich pond and descents from the Elm forest to the fields near the village Wobeck.
Mainly run on gravel trails, the track has a very tricky S section which is difficult to navigate, even with a Co Driver right alongside you.
The black and white image is a rough recreation of an original photogrpah taken at the end of this stage (see https://www.mckleinimagedatabase.com/image/medium/59678/59678_720813Olympia+Mikkola+1+hb.JPG)
It should give you a rough idea on how accurate I tried to be and also how far away from reality the stages actually are.
The picture shows the Ford of Hannu Mikkola, his rear axis broke during the run.
If you want to start at the Timing point, select start at 'Starting Line'.
If you want to use it for hotlaps and start right before the Assetto Corsa Starting Line, select start at 'Hotlap Start'.

- All sponsors and marking boards are highly accurate.
- Terrain source is Google and my own hiking trip on the roads of the stage.
- Trees vary in height, density and type according to the forest parcels (the forest and its wood is used commercially).
- Bumps, ditches and prominent points rely on the original pacenotes by Alfred Gorny.
