Opel Focusses on Rally Sport with ADAM and next Corsa
• Great tradition: #opel stays loyal to motor sport
• European #rally Championship:
Next #opelcorsa as R2 available at end of 2020 Rüsselsheim. #opel remains loyal to its long and successful history in motor sport. The German brand will compete again on national and international #rally stages during the coming season.
In 2019 #opel Motorsport aims to claim its fifth successive victory in the European junior #rally championship for drivers up to 27 years of age, which has now been officially renamed the FIA ERC3 Junior Championship. One of the 190hp #adam R2 cars entered by #opel technology-partner, Holzer Motorsport, will be driven by Swede Elias Lundberg (20), who secured the drive in the ADAC #opel Rallye Junior Team by winning last year’s ADAC #opel Rallye Cup. A second car will be piloted by Grégoire Munster from Luxemburg (20), who finished second to Lundberg in last season’s Rallye Cup, taking three victories.
With 130 participants from 18 countries, Europe’s most successful brand #rally trophy has offered a professional platform for young drivers since 2013, bringing eight young talents into the ADAC #opel #rally Junior Team. “We have been making cars for 120 years and motor sport has always formed Opel’s image – it should stay that way,” said #opel CEO, Michael Lohscheller.
"Two aspects are particularly important to us – the fascination with technology and approachability for fans and customers. The promotion of young drivers is also high on our agenda. The combination with the long established structure at PSA Motorsport opens great additional opportunities for us.”
