1 Mins read

Volkswagen Motorsport driver Jari-Matti Latvala is set for a busy couple of weeks as he takes part in the 18th edition of the International Lausitz Rally on 29-31 October, the weekend after RallyRACC Catalunya.

The Tour de Corse Rallye de France winner will be taking to the rally just a week after Rally Spain in a Audi A2 Quattro. “I am really looking forward to the Lausitz Rally already,” said Latvala.

“The Audi quattro gives rally fans real goosebumps because it was as spectacular as it was successful in the 1980s. Sitting behind the wheel is a real pleasure.”

Latvala owns the car which was built especially for use in classic rallies and conforms to Group 4 specifications that will take on the 180km gravel rally which stretches across 18 special stages.

Check out this video of Latvala on a previous outing…
