German outfit Muennich Motorsport will commit to the entire 12 rounds of the FIA World Rallycross Championship with twin Audi S3 RX Supercars.
Team owner Rene Muennich will use the season as a development year before launching a title bid on the team’s championship in 2016.
Muennich made his long awaited debut in the Audi Supercar at the German round last year which prompted several key mechanical changes to the Audi.
The team is yet to confirm drivers however the line-up will be much clearer after several candidates test the S3 over the coming weeks.
“World RX will be our main program this year,” confirmed team owner Muennich.
“We will use this year to learn and then we want to fight for the title in 2016.
