As
stated here and in various other sources, Latvian star Reinis
Nitiss left Olsbergs MSE after competing with their Fords
since the first season of the FIA World Rallycross Championship
in 2014, but he was quick to find a new home, as he is now part of
allInkl.com Münnich Motorsport, with both parts going to the
third season in the championship.
Incredibly
this states that both news that appeared on out Bits of World RX post
were related to each other, as the German team owned by René
Münnich will welcome Nitiss with a change from their Audi S3 RX
to a new project that bring the SEAT Ibiza RX supercar to
World RX, in what's the first official effort of the brand and
its return to the competition since 2014, when Danish driver Dennis
Rømmer entered a privately owned SEAT Córdoba at Estering.
Nitiss
arrives at Münnich Motorsport with an impressive record for someone
who has only two years in supercars and is as young as the 20-year
old driver. A single win at Hell in 2014, which puts him as the
youngest winner of the competition, combined with seven podiums and a
third place in the drivers standings in 2014 puts him on a high note
for this season. His 2015 season wasn't exactly as good as 2014, with
two podiums in four finals, and the move may help him get back to
what he showed in 2014.
Münnich
Motorsport was in an equally hard luck last year, with both cars
being used by various drivers during the season, but the fourth place
finished with Tommy Rustad at Trois-Rivieres and with Alx
Danielsson at Hell demonstrated that the S3 had some potential.
Of
all the things changing at Münnich Motorsport, one thing may remain
the same from previous seasons, as René Münnich may still drive one
of the cars during the season.
