The head of Germany’s ADAC car club, Europe’s largest, resigned in disgrace on Monday (Feb 10) after an external audit found it had rigged the results and order of its award for the country’s most popular car.

Leading German carmakers Daimler, Volkswagen and BMW immediately said they would hand back the once-coveted annual “Yellow Angel” awards after the audit found irregularities in the counting and ordering.

The revelations have battered the reputation of the ADAC, which before it first admitted wrongdoing last month was one of Germany’s most respected institutions with 19 million members.

ADAC president Peter Meyer resigned just before publication of the external audit, which found the order of four of the first five places had been manipulated.

“This is the most serious crisis in our 111-year history,” said Mr August Markl, ADAC’s vice president, who will take over from Mr Meyer until the next general assembly in May. Thousands of ADAC members have left in disgust.

 

 

The riggings makes no sense. Why? For now it seems to be a whim of the departed director on which car makes the list.

 

No mention of the manufacturers playing a part in this.
