TWO-CAR ENTRY FOR ALL-INKL.COM MUENNICH MOTORSPORT

Sunday 8th of March 2020

ALL-INKL.COM Muennich Motorsport will expand to two cars in the FIA World Rallycross Championship for 2020 as it prepares for the electric future of World Rallycross.

Germany’s Timo Scheider will remain with the team for 2020, driving a Seat Ibiza RX as he has in the last two seasons of World RX. In 2019, Scheider qualified for the finals in the World RX of Abu Dhabi and the World RX of South Africa, and this year is targeting podium results.

“I am super happy to go straight into my second season with ALL-INKL.COM Muennich Motorsport. Last year we expected to be better, that means our expectations for 2020 are even higher.

“We should have been on the podium from time to time last year but this year podiums are a must have. The car has been developed over the winter in different areas, so we hope to have taken 2-3 steps forward. Let’s get the season going to see where we are,” Scheider said.

The double DTM champion will be joined in the full season programme this year by team owner Rene Muennich. The German finished on the podium at the Euro RX of Germany last year on his way to P5 overall in the series.

“I’m glad to be back in the FIA World Rallycross Championship, joining Timo in our two-car team. Last year the racing in World RX was very competitive and we produced some solid results. We expect the same high level of close racing this season and I am personally looking forward to testing myself against the best drivers in the sport once again,” Muennich said.

In addition to taking part in the 2020 season, ALL-INKL.COM Muennich Motorsport is committed to the electric future of world rallycross, according to team manger Dominik Greiner. “We recognise the move towards EV mobility in the automotive industry and the fact that motorsport is following a similar path.

"We welcome the plans for the FIA World Rallycross Championship to phase in electrification from 2021 and we are making plans to be part of this exciting future,” he said.

The 2020 FIA World Rallycross Championship season begins at the World RX of Catalunya-Barcelona on April 18-19.
