Matějovský will continue piloting the car AUDI A4 DTM in the BRT team

These days Michal Matějovský started preparation for the new circuit racing season. His efforts will focus on the Division 4 in the International Championship of the Czech Republic in circuit racing again. However this year's racing in the above 3500 ccm category is going to witness a significant change. As far as organisers are concerned, this season may be the last one for the DTM category cars, so the organisers prepared quite a radical change of rules to make things more interesting.

"One of the most important changes is introducing a handicap for the DTM category cars. The pilots of these cars will have to drive through boxes twice during one race. The organisers want this to erase the car performance differences among the individual cars. We will see whether the new rules will prove worthy, but in my view it will only make the racing more attractive," Michal Matějovský explained one of the main rule changes. He wants to use his experience from the previous years, when in his car AUDI A4 DTM he won the title of the champion and vice-champion of the Czech Republic. Though in this year the two worst results will be erased too, the results of each of the six racing weekends will matter, anyway. The drivers and teams in the International Championship of the Czech Republic 2012 series will see more abroad than the Czech Republic. The racing starts at the last April weekend at the Hungarian circuit Hungaroring (29.4.), it continues in Hungary at the circuit Pannoniaring (17.6.), then it moves to Poland's Poznaň (1.7.). In mid summer there is a race in Most (5.8.), the last but one racing weekend takes place at Slovakiaring (19.8.) and as usual the racing series culminates in Brno (23.9.). At the end of the season the team counts with participation at the traditional Epilogue in Brno (13.10.2012).
