Baumschlager had also technical problems this season, in Rallye Weiz he had no rear brakes for the last two stages.
Also without Neubauers problem on last stage I am quite sure Baumschlager would have won (with a smaller margin), as he was very dominant on all stages during the rally on this final section.
true, but Bamschlager was over 20 seconds behind when that happened on penultimate stage, so it didnīt affect the championship like Neubauers engine failure.
About the driveshaft Problem in Waldviertel you might be right, even Neubauer admitted that it wouldnīt have been enough most likely without this issue...of course he was a bit pissed because he lost the championship on this rallycrosstrack, where they had to drive 6 times in total...
well, itīs hard enough for all the others, still we talk about national championship, i know austrian championship is not the strongest and Neubauer for sure is not a world class driver, but for me he made good rogress in the last 2 seasons and is the fastest driver in Austria at the moment. Edit: besides Andreas Aigner.
I have deep respect for Baumschlagers efforts though.
Jarek, Mundl won the championship. True. Congratulations.
But, for me the real hero is still Neubauer. Neubauer was competing with ''museum'' technology against last year's world champion car!!
And Mundl did not convincingly won the championship, but barely.....
At the end I was also pleasantly surprised over Mayer-Melnhof pace, as he was on few ocasions even faster than Mundl or Neubauer......he is showing progress.
It exactly means that, while Neubauer obviously IS talented, and this year ALMOST did impossible, and was so close to living legend; maybe he isn't World class driver, but c'mon - only own WRC car isn't enough to drive fast, it need talent, and Neubauer was fast all season long.
