Young motorsport enthusiasts aged 18 to 25 are to be introduced to rallying in this way. The ADAC Opel Rally Academy consists of three stages. In stage 1, which is still free of charge, the students are introduced to the basics of rallying by a team of professional instructors in a one-and-a-half-day basic camp. We are looking for drivers and co-drivers. Applications can be submitted online until July 31, 2016.
The aim is also to acquire a national A license
The best of these camps qualify for the three-day basic course (level 2), the aim of which is to obtain a national A license. Those who do particularly well are allowed to complete the top course (level 3) and take their first seat in an Opel Adam R2 from the strongest rally one-make cup in Europe. The winner of the sponsorship package will be announced on October 22, 2016 at the Cup award ceremony during the season finale at the ADAC 3-Städte-Rallye.
"Those who succeed in the ADAC Opel Rally Academy," Opel Motorsport Director Jörg Schrott encourages participation, "learn to survive in tough competition and can then compete against the best young talents in Europe in the ADAC Opel Rally Junior Team. This is a great way to get from the grassroots to the top of international rallying."
