NEW CHAPTER IN 2026

Tom Heindrichs joins the ADAC Opel Rally Junior Team for the 2026 Junior European Rally Championship season, driving the Opel Corsa Rally4.

Born and raised in the German-speaking part of Belgium, the 22-year-old secured the 2025 ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup title after a dramatic season finale at the Central European Rally. Following his championship-winning season, Heindrichs now takes the next step in his career by competing against Europe’s top young rally talents in the JERC.

The ADAC Opel Rally Junior Team has a strong history in junior rally development, having won six Junior European Championship titles since 2015. Tom aims to continue this success story throughout the 2026 season.

The 2026 JERC calendar includes events in Sweden, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Great Britain, and Portugal, with the season kicking off at the Royal Rally of Scandinavia in Karlstad.
