Much to her mother\u2019s chagrin, as she herself laughs. Her first taste of proper rallying came in 2000: she made her debut as a co-driver at the ADAC Rallye Deutschland \u2013 a broken driveshaft brought the adventure to an end after just the second special stage. But Katrin Becker was a quick learner.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;202881&#8243;]What followed was a career to be proud of. She won the German 2WD title, became a five-time Austrian national champion and stood at the top of the podium at the Wales Rally GB as part of the Junior World Rally Championship. Since 2019, she has formed a well-established partnership with Philip Geipel in the \u0160koda Fabia \u2013 and 2022 saw the highlight of her career in modern rallying: At the 58th ADAC Knaus Tabbert 3-St\u00e4dte-Rallye, the pair clinched the German Rally Championship title after a spectacular comeback in the rain \u2013 by a single point, secured in the final special stages. A heart-stopping finale that motorsport could not have scripted any better.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;210362&#8243;]Then came the turning point \u2013 and it came in the form of a classic Porsche. Since early 2026, Katrin Becker has been driving only classic cars. At the Tour Auto 2026, she immediately proved that this decision was spot on: as Florian Feustel\u2019s co-driver, she navigated 2,200 kilometres from Paris to Biarritz \u2013 in a 1970 Porsche 911 S\/R 2.3 Rallye Monte Carlo \u2013 to class victory and fourth place overall. Precision, finesse and the ability to read a car and its driver in any situation \u2013 all there, all flawless.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;183506&#8243;]From that moment on, it was clear to us: this wonderful, charming woman belongs at the Grand Meeting 2026. This autumn, she\u2019ll be competing in the Modena Cento Ore \u2013 yet another highlight in a year that\u2019s all hers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;136719&#8243;]Katrin Becker will be attending the Grand Meeting 2026 from 31 July to 2 August \u2013 approachable, inspiring, and with a story that shows that a passion for motorsport knows no bounds.[\/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fclassic-days.shop%2Fde%2Ftickets%2F19.html%23day73|target:_blank|&#8221; button_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;190118&#8243;]Tickets are limited \u2013 book now![\/vc_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;11032&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;114369&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people have two passions.
