Opel Corsa-e Rally at FIA Motorsport Games
- edition of international multi-discipline competition in France
- Mega-event with 1,000 competitors from 100 nations
- Opel Motorsport will perform slalom competition with Corsa-e Rally
Rüsselsheim. With the #fiamotorsportgames, which will be held for the first time in 2019, the FIA (Fédération Internationale d'Automobile) is building a bridge between #racing and other motorsport disciplines. At the first edition three years ago in Vallelunga, Italy, 49 nations competed for glory and medals in five disciplines. At the second #fiamotorsportgames from October 26-30, 2022, in southern France, around 1,000 competitors from 100 nations will compete.
This time there will be 17 different motorsport disciplines at four venues. New to the #fiamotorsportgames programme is the automobile slalom, for which the organisers had envisaged the use of battery-electric vehicles from the outset. As one of the leading manufacturers of battery-electric vehicles, #Opel was an obvious choice with the #corsaerally. #Opel is successfully running the ADAC #Opel e-Rally Cup together with the ADAC and is also the only carmaker to have an electric #rally variant already in use in its portfolio. #Opel Motorsport will perform the agility test between the pylons with three of the 100 kW/136 hp one-make cup racers. The course is at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, the venue of the Formula 1 French Grand Prix.
“With its enormous torque of 260 Nm and high agility, the #corsaerally is ideal for slaloms and therefore a perfect choice,” says #Opel Motorsport Director Jörg Schrott. “The #fiamotorsportgames promise to be a mega event with a high international profile, which we are very happy to support. We are delighted to have the opportunity to demonstrate the performance of the world’s first electric #rally one-make cup car once again.”
Noller/Kopczyk start in #Opel Corsa Rally4
Team Germany will take part in the #fiamotorsportgames with a total of 22 male and female competitors. Michelle Tute (28, Hanover) and Marcel Hellberg (29, Löhne) are nominated for the slalom competitions. Furthermore, 20-year-old René Noller from Abstatter and his experienced co-driver Stefan Kopczyk (41, Heilbronn) will represent Germany in the #rally discipline in an #Opel Corsa Rally4. Opel’s new customer #rally car with the French crew Laurent Pellier/Marine Pelamourgues recently won the fifth European Junior #rally Championship (JERC) title for the ADAC #Opel #rally Junior Team.
