I have to disagree here. Just an example: When you say Dani Sordo lacks talent compared to Sébastien Ogier that doesn't mean that Sordo is untalented. He is just not as talented as Ogier. Is that really disrespectful? I don't think so...

You´re right. I´m no native speaker, but the question which occurs here is if "lack" means "missing" (this would mean no talent at all) or just "less than others" (the example of Ogier and Sordo).
But back to topic: Hermann Neubauer is probably not the next World Champion, but the has achieved a lot against Mundl Baumschlager. That´s for sure.

The time table will be quite the same like 2015. They skipped the super fast Pregarten stage and had to change the Liebenau stage for enviromental reasons.
The chief of the organisation Robert Zitta said, that he received already 8 entries although the regulations have not been published yet. There should been already entries from italian, czech and slovakian drivers.

First win for a N5 in Spain's tarmac at Rallye Comunidad de Madrid, the season last event. Gorka Antxustegi in the Suzuki Swift R+ (it’d be easier if they simply call it N5) built by ARVidal, dominated the rally since SS1, profiting from Ares initial problems and Garcia absence. Pelaez (Fiesta R5) came in second and Ares managed to recover from P10 to P3, by wining most of the stages. Fuster, on the N5 RMC Clio, was always a bit behind, finishing sixth.
