The Kickastra Rally Team will combine rally championships on both sides of the Atlantic in 2012 by entering both local events in Barbados and rounds of the Deutsche Rallye Serie (www.drs.ag).
The Deutsche Rallye Serie (DRS) is a national German rally championship run by the ADMV. The series is well subscribed and focuses mostly in the Sachsen area of Germany. The 2012 DRS Championship consists of 6 rounds as follows:
27.04.2012 - 28.04.2012 1. Rallye Lužické Hory (CZ)
08.06.2012 - 09.06.2012 2. DMV Rallye Thüringen (D)
13.07.2012 - 15.07.2012 3. Rallye Bohemia (CZ)
10.08.2012 - 12.08.2012 4. ADAC Rallye Wartburg (D)
30.08.2012 - 01.09.2012 5. AvD Niederbayern-Rallye (D)
02.11.2012 - 03.11.2012 6. rallyesprint.eu (D)
The first and third rounds will be held in the Czech Republic, where rallying is very popular and well subscribed. The Kickastra Rally Team will not likely enter all rounds but is currently planning to enter the season opener Rallye Lužické Hory. The one day event consists 76km of tarmac as is slated for 27 and 28 April. Adrian will be at the wheel of the team's Opel Astra OPC which has completed three rounds of the WRC and five German rallies. The decision on which further rounds will be entered will be made throughout the season, which may include codriver Jonathan at the controls.
As with all Kickastra European exploits, team friends Team AutoScharf will provide on event support as they will also be entering the championship in their Opel Astra OPC Turbo with driver Bernd Knuepfer and codriver Alex Hirsch.
The team will post regular updates on our preparation plans leading up to the rally and will give regular updates from Germany on www.kickastra.com.
