- Extraordinary commitment at the German FIA WRC rally
- Attractive support events and numerous fan specials
Munich/Trier, 28. July 2015 - The ADAC Rallye Deutschland is one of the biggest and most popular motor sport events in Germany. That the German event of the FIA World Rally Championship is a highlight of international reputation is not merely the merit of world champion Sébastien Ogier, 2014's champion Thierry Neuville and other world champion stars and their spectacular performances. In addition to some 3,000 volunteer helpers, official event partners and sponsors play a key role in making the ADAC Rallye Deutschland such a success. In 2015, ADAC can rely again on the broad support of committed partners.
Red Bull
Action outside the Special Stages - that's what the Red Bull athletes and their performances stand for within the support programme of the ADAC Rallye Deutschland. This year, for example, Jorge "Viki" Gómez, one of the world's best BMX pros will stun the fans. The 34-year-old Spaniard will show his tricks before the Show Start (Thursday, 20 August 2015) at the Hauptmarkt in Trier and at the Porta Nigra gate. The Austrian beverage company will be present with a Red Bull Energy Station in the Service Park Trier, a huge fun area of approx. 100m2 including driving simulators, drinks, sweepstakes and chill-out zones. Red Bull has been ADAC Rallye Deutschland's main partner since 2003.
Volkswagen
The Volkswagen Motorsport world champion team aims to celebrate its first ADAC Rallye Deutschland victory in 2015 - it is a "home" rally after all. The largest German automobile manufacturer's commitment extends much further than competing in the event. As in the two preceding years, Volkswagen will show its colour especially on the famous Arena Panzerplatte (22 August): the car maker and ADAC will set up a full-fledged TV studio again - with celebrity guests, live cameras and a live feed onto a giant video screen. The fans may look forward to plenty of action, since there will be as many as five Special Stages on the Panzerplatte this year. Moreover, Volkswagen will have their own Rally the World stand for fans opposite the service area of the WRC team at the Service Park Trier.
Opel/Vauxhall
Opel/Vauxhall are another long-standing ADAC partner in rally sport. The traditional automobile manufacturer has continuously intensified their commitment in rally events with a focus on young talent sponsorship. Their platform for this is the ADAC OPEL Rallye Cup, which will again feature at the 2015 ADAC Rallye Deutschland. Representing the ADAC Opel Rallye Junior Team, Marijan Griebel and Emil Bergkvist are another step further up, having been rather successful at international level at this year's FIA Junior ERC. Bergkvist has just won the Junior European Rally Championship title. The 2015 ADAC Rallye Deutschland will host a promotional stand for the Opel fan community at the Service Park Trier and the "Kleine Platte" spectator area at the Baumholder military range will again turn into an Opel fan zone.
SKODA
In 2015, SKODA will support the ADAC Rallye Deutschland as an official partner for the first time. At international level, the Czech automobile manufacturer's rally commitment focuses on the WRC2 events of the FIA World Rally Championship. Visitors will get to see the new SKODA Fabia R5. One of the drivers at the ADAC Rallye Deutschland is ADAC sport foundation grantee Fabian Kreim whose 2015 success is based on the German rally championship (DRM). The central point of contact for SKODA fans is the SKODA Village at the Service Park Trier.
Eibach
For decades, Eibach has been the leading partner in many areas of powerful international motor sport. Rally sport is a valuable testing ground for this manufacturer of high-end damping and suspension systems. At this year's edition of the ADAC Rallye Deutschland, Eibach will present the official starter list. The supplier will also be represented with a promotional stand at the Service Park Trier as well as the Panzerplatte area.
City of Trier
Our partnership with the city of Trier is essential for the success of the ADAC Rallye Deutschland. In 2015, the city is host to the German FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) rally for the thirteenth time. In addition to the Show Start and the podium ceremony against the historic backdrop of the Porta Nigra gate, the Service Park located on the Trier fairground is another well-established feature of the ADAC Rallye Deutschland within the city. As the event's organiser, ADAC closely cooperates with the different municipal bodies, authorities and decision-makers as regards planning, approval and implementation. In terms of economy and image, both the city and region have profited considerably from the ADAC Rallye Deutschland as a major event of international reputation.
RPR1. Rallye-Radio
RPR1. Rallye-Radio will be on air again this year and extensively cover the German event of the FIA WRC rally. The Eifel-Saar-Mosel regional frequencies (Trier: 102.9 FM; Mosel: 100.1 FM; Luxembourg/Saarland: 102.6 FM) will broadcast up-to-the-minute rally information for the fans. RPR1. traffic service will update visitors on any congestion and/or traffic obstruction on the roads to or from the rally.
