Not bad for a 1st outing! Gassner Jr. ended 3 Stade Rallye as 2nd of 2wd/2l. He managed to fight all rally long with R2 Adam's drivers for 2wd lead.

It's hard to judge but I'm not very positive about the result. There was no compeition from other R3 drivers but Hermann Gassner jr. is definitely good enough driver to be ahead of R2s with R3 car. Actually he was ahead except some lost time on SS3 and SS9 ( http://www.ewrc-results.com/driver_i...te-Rallye-2015 ). The overall competiion level was really low. For example sixth placed Tošovský is slow Czech gentleman driver who is rarely able to get to top 15 in our rallysprints (2nd league).
Yes, 9th place is a big disappointment. But without the problems on SS3, Gassner would have been 5th or 6th overal, so he wasn't that bad.
I like the looks of this car:
