GRRL! SUMMARY:

SOPHIA FLÖRSCH transitions from Opel Formula E development duties to make her rally debut at ADAC Saarland-Pfalz Rallye driving the all-electric Mokka GSE Rally, completing intensive three-day training in pace notes and blind-corner navigation.
Austrian co-driver NINA SPITALER, 29, brings rallycross and rally experience to the cockpit, having previously contested the ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup in 2024 with guest entrant Pia Steffe.
CLAIRE SCHÖNBORN coached Flörsch’s preparation while competing in both FIA Junior European Rally Championship with Corsa Rally4 and ADAC Opel GSE Rally Cup, forming all-female trio across Opel’s electric motorsport programs.
The 14-stage event symbolically bridges Opel’s Formula E and electric rally initiatives, with fans voting on Flörsch’s Mokka GSE livery design through Instagram ahead of the 14-15 August competition.
