Self-construction off-road vehicle: Manuel Stiltz from Argenthal on the way to the EM 2024

with passion and passion for the off-road European-Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis

In a small workshop in Argenthal, everything revolves around off -road vehicles and motorsport. The 29-year-old Manuel Stiltz discovered his passion here and spends most of the time to tinker and screw on his prototype. His father Ingo, a former trail athlete, supports him with advice and action. Together they work on the self-made off-road vehicle that leads Manuel into the world of off-road trail.

The fascination for screwing and the technology lies with Manuel in the family. From childhood, he showed interest in tinkering and optimizing vehicles. This passion finally made him take part in competitions and build his own vehicle for the off-road trail.

Preparations for the European Championship in the off-road trail are in full swing. Manuel qualified through his participation in the German Championship and will start in August in Banteln, Lower Saxony. For him, this not only means the chance to demonstrate his skills, but also the opportunity to exchange ideas with like -minded people and benefit from the community.

The off-road competitions are crucial for skill, technology and security. A solid driver and the right equipment are essential to master the challenges of the trail. Manuel and his father attach great importance to safety and ensure that their off -road vehicle withstands the requirements.

Creativity knows no limits when building the prototype. Manuel invests a lot of time and money in his project to keep making new improvements. His 200 hp-strong off-road vehicle is not approved for road traffic, which is why he regularly drives to Drüpplingsen to train on special routes.

The European Championship is an important opportunity for Manuel to show his talent and measure itself with other off-road enthusiasts. The preparations are in full swing, and together with his father, he is looking forward to exciting competitions and a unique atmosphere.

The off-road community is like a family for Manuel and his father. The cohesion and the willingness to help among the participants are an important part of sport and help to do their best. For Manuel and Ingo, the coexistence and the community are a decisive factor that motivates them again and again to face the challenges of the trail.
