"It's always impressive to me how more and more young people are remembering the old days. I'm looking forward to being part of this podcast and to hearing lots of stories from my old companions," says racing legend Walter Röhrl. The interview with the 72-year-old was the starting signal for "Alte Schule" - the new series from the podcast label lautgut.
In this interview format, car enthusiast Karsten Arndt conducts a new conversation with experts from all areas of the automotive industry every week: "I'm delighted to be able to meet the heroes of my youth for 'Alte Schule' and share their unique stories via this podcast. I can't think of any other technological invention that has provided as many goosebump moments in its history as the car. In 'Alte Schule' I talk to racing drivers, designers and engineers who have shaped a special time full of passion for cars and still do - here you can hear people with crazy stories and gasoline in their blood."
A few examples of the interview partners from "Alte Schule":

- In 'Alte Schule',Walter Röhrl explains how he was sometimes minutes faster than the world's elite rally drivers and why that would certainly no longer be possible today
- Herbert Linge was one of the first apprentices of the old Prof. Porsche and it was said that the Porsche company would not have become what it is today without him. The interview for 'Alte Schule' gives you an insight into why.
- Kurt Ahrens has a very special connection to the Porsche 917, the most brutal and successful racing car in motorsport history: he tells us how close death and victory were for him in this car.
- In 'Alte Schule',Helge Thomsen describes, among other things, what it feels like to ignite 50 counter-thrust rockets on the car and brake hard in a ball of fire.
