Mark Wallenwein wins Rally
22 Jul 2013

Mark Wallenwein participated in the 4^th round of the German Rally Championship (DRM = Deutsche Rally-Meisterschaft) that took place in Luxembourg from 19^th to 21^st July 2013. The reigning DRM-champion was the driver to beat in this round. No other team was able to overtake Wallenwein with co-driver Stefan Kopczyk in their YOKOHAMA-equipped Skoda Fabia S2000. Their impressive pace allowed them to dominate the Rally from the third to the very last special stage.

“Especially on Saturday morning, we had to fight with our competitor Ruben Zeltner / Helmar Hinneberg”, stated Mark Wallenwein after the rally. “They were faster in the first session. But we had expected this and were able to reduce the time difference in stage 2. After their breakdown, we faced less pressure and could look after the car carefully.”

Current German rally champion Wallenwein switched this year from the German rally sport to the international FIA ERC (European Rally Championship) which is partnered by YOKOHAMA. His next race in the ERC will be Barum Rally in Czech Republic which will take place from 30^th August till 1^st September 2013.
