Right after the Lausitzring Jim Clark Revival, our Dodge Charger got interesting coverage in the media. Click on the links to read what DasAutoBlog, Motoraver and Motorsportfreunde wrote about us.

We want to go back to the Lausitzring in 2010 and we're pretty sure that the number of fans will be even bigger then!
