RCI V2 to welcome Marc Rheinard for OneTen Rd5 & 6

The organisers of the OneTen Series presented by Infinity are delighted to announce the return of Marc Rheinard to the series for Rd5 & 6 in Shanghai, the German making his series debut at last season’s finale in Hong Kong. With the championship returning to RCI V2 on January 4th & 5th, having also hosted the opening two rounds, the 4x World Champion will be making his first ever trip to Shanghai and the Infinity driver’s first race in mainland China since the World Championships in Beijing in 2016. Making a big impression when he joined the OneTen series at PYC back in March, winning on his debut, this time he will be running indoor on carpet and will be going up against a very on-form teammate Jin Sawada who has won all 4 rounds of the series to date. With the double header running alongside the exciting new SGP1 Formula series, we will announce a number of other big names that will attend in the coming days. More information on the event can be found here and entry for all classes, Modified and Stock, can be submitted here or directly at RCI V2.
