International events and rallies

August Horch was a practical man and relied on the experience he gained from driving his own cars. For ten years he was a member of the Horch and Audi factory-entered competition teams, and drove in the most important and arduous international long-distance events and rallies, for example the Herkomer Runs, the Prince Henry Runs and the international Austrian Alpine Rallies.
