At the 2011 New England Forest Rally, former Formula Drift racer  and champion Verena Mei made her debut as a rally driver.  In 2012, she’ll be tackling the whole Rally America championship series with a new sponsor.  We look forward to following her progress next year and welcoming her back to the NEFR!  Get the lowdown on Verena’s new gig by clicking on this World Rally Sport link.
