Scheider gets World RX Audi outing - Racer
Two-time DTM champion Timo Scheider will make his World Rallycross Championship debut at Barcelona later this month in a Munnich Motorsport Audi S3. The Audi Sport Team Phoenix driver will deputise for Munnich team owner and driver Rene Munnich,... Scheider becomes the second double DTM champion to race in World RX as his Audi counterpart Mattias Ekstrom drives for his own EKS team. The drive came about via Scheider's DTM race engineer, Laurent Fedacou, who also works for the Munnich squad. The German has already sampled a World RX Supercar when he drove one of Ekstrom's Audi S1s earlier in the year on snow. He says that he has so much fun there because it's a different world, having fun with nice tires on cool tracks with cool people. Scheider will test for Munnich Motorsport next week, after joining the team at the ninth round of the championship at Loheac in France this weekend to learn more about the series. Munnich Motorsport has scored its best results to date at the most recent World RX events in Canada and Norway, with a pair of fourth-place finishes in the hands of Tommy Rustad and regular driver Alx Danielsson. Scheider says that was a factor in his decision to join the team in Spain, but has no expectations of his own potential result. Source: www.racer.com
