Blokkmonsta Motorsport and Touring Cars

Michael's driving skills caught the attention of businessman Andrea Schnass, who saw Rohnstock's potential as a driver for the revival of Blokkmonsta Racing in 2016. After negotiations between Schass, Rohnstock, and Kärcher, Michael came on-board Blokkmonsta to race in the Rejects Touring Car Championship.
