Timo Rumpfkeil is confident after winning the titles in ATS Forumula 3 Cup and ADAC Formula Masters in 2012. "We want to defend our titles", answers the experienced team principal, being asked for his targets for the 2013 season.
Talented teamThe reigning champion of the ADAC Formula Masters, Marvin Kirchhfer,is now driving a Dallara F311 Volkswagen in the German ATS Formula 3 Cup. "I like to tie in with the successes of 2012 and so I am really looking forward for this new challenge", says the man from Leipzig.
His teammate is Emil Bernstorff , returning to Team Motopark. "I am happy to be back in this successful Team. In 2011 I had a good season with the team and now I am ready to fight for the title in the German ATS Formula 3 Cup."
