After some uncertainty, the DS Rennsport team will continue for 2009. Director Robert Dorn announced that the team will back three racers German Torsten Marx, Swiss Balz Weber and Austrian Steffi Wiedner. The team is surviving despite the departure of two of its major sponsors at the end of 2008.
"We negotiated for a long time. We appreciated the confidence of the sponsors who kept their faith in us," said Dorn after securing new sponsorship from the firm of Schiller Automation Genkingen and Austrian bike manufacturer KTM. DS Racing Ltd., a clothing manufacturer, will stay on as title sponsor.
