Wicha returns for Cyprus IRC finale

Almost six months since making his last appearance in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, German codriver Klaus Wicha will be returning to the series for the season-finale in Cyprus.

Rather than partnering countryman Hermann Gassner Jr, who he co-drove on three rounds of the IRC this year, Wicha will be linking up with fellow German Armin Kremer in a Subaru Impreza.

The vastly experienced Wicha hasn’t competed on the Cyprus Rally since 2006 when he co-drove Andreas Aigner. The Austrian will be one of Kremer’s rivals for IRC glory next week.

Kremer and Wicha aren’t the only all-German crew taking part in Cyprus: Sepp Wiegand and Timo Gottschalk will be in action in a ŠKODA Auto Deutschland Fabia Super 2000.
