OPEL Motorsport Data

OPEL
Brand Overview
Opel boasts a distinguished and varied motorsport legacy, primarily excelling in the demanding arenas of rallying and touring car racing. The brand's golden era in rallying peaked in 1982 when Walter Röhrl piloted the legendary Ascona 400 to the World Rally Championship drivers' title, a success built upon by formidable cars like the Manta 400. On the tarmac, Opel became a dominant force in touring car championships throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. The iconic, all-wheel-drive Calibra V8 clinched the International Touring Car Championship (ITC) title in 1996, while the aggressive Astra V8 Coupé became a fan favorite and a strong contender in the revived DTM series. Beyond Germany, Opel models like the Vectra and Cavalier also achieved significant success in championships such as the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Today, Opel's motorsport focus has evolved towards customer racing programs, maintaining a strong presence in rallying with the competitive Corsa Rally4. Demonstrating its forward-thinking approach, Opel also pioneered the world's first one-make electric rally series, the ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup, cementing its legacy as an innovator from the gravel stages of the WRC to the future of electric competition.
