[size=200]BRC - Bavarian Racing Challenge - 1955[/size]
What once upon a time was the Bavarian Rallye Challenge has now become the Bavarian RACING Challenge. And with “RACING” I mean “RACING”. Direct Competition. Fighting for Position. Epic crashes. Tragic failures. Worn out tyres. Each race a unique story.
After a good start in 1945 we continue in 1955 with updated rules.
