Opel has a long and proud history in Rallying. Many Asconas and Mantas have given much joy for drivers and fans.
After the Ascona 400 was history, they had a stint with the Kadett/Astra in F2000, and a quick appearence with a 4wd Calibra, then it was over, until the Adam came in cup and R2 version.
Hopefully we will also see them back in R5 in the coming years.
The many Opel fans deserve that the proud history gets another chapter!
