Wild ride over the roads around Zwickau For the last time in the 2021 season, the DRM rally specialists will have to complete demanding special stages (SS) in the best possible time. Around Zwickau, twelve varied special stages with a total length of around 147 kilometers await.

With victory in sight, Julius Tannert (Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo) also wants to have a word in the overall standings.
