The 8th annual Drivers’ League promises exhilarating moments and stirring successes with 9 countries holding national Drivers’ Leagues at the same time. The participating countries are Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and South Africa. For four weeks every trip counts for the participants. As part of their daily business, the drivers’ and companies drive highly efficiently to win the title in their national league.
