Authentic Team Phoenix waterslide decals
The German Touring Car Championships thrilled European motorsports fans with plenty of fender-to-fender action unfurled by three major car manufactur- ers: Mercedes-Benz, Opel and Audi. The Opel machine that raced in the highly popular 2001 DTM season was the Astra V8 Coupe. Opel's ace driver, Manuel Reuter, was behind the wheel for Opel Team Phoenix and took 4th place finishes in the 8th and 10th races of the 2001 season, a testament to his incredible driving skills and the winning potential of Opel Team Phoenix.
