ADAC Rallye Deutschland 2015

[hype]

I don't know if I should go to Deutschland Rallye. I'm from Germany and it's easy to reach so actually I should go.
But it's always stressful with the marshals and self-appointed sheriffs.
Been there 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011. Time to go again? I don't know.

I'm staying in a gite in Belgium for the Belgian GP next week (was originally going to Rally Deutschland but couldn't find anyone else to go with) - Anyway although Fri-Sun will be spent at Spa there is the possibility of a trip to Konz for shakedown. I was there in 2013 and the place I was spectating was a bit uninspiring so can anyone give me the coordinates of a good place on the SD stage and where the best parking to access it is. Reference the Planet Marcus Google Earth stuff if possible
Thanks

Will be good to see the Fabia R5 in tarmac-spec... should look great.

There will be a serious Fabia R5 battle taking place looking forward to that. They probably hired Kopecky as Tarmac reference for Lappi, but don't know if he can keep up with him to be honest. I think the choice to give Lappi a go instead of Pontus is a clue for next year...The Nasser car is by far the prettiest livery. Fabian Kreim has the chance to show his potential and Kremer did very well last year by being reliable and steady, hope the old man will do very well against the young Fabia wolves.

Kopecký and Tidemand share same number of WRC events. Each one four while Lappi is doing eight. Kopecký has been part of Škoda team since Lappi was eleven years old and therefore saying that he was hired to show something to Lappi sounds quite funny

The shakedown in Konz is the most boring shakedown you can imagine, unfortunately. I would be surprised if anyone could give you a nice spot to spectate there... Since shakedown is in Konz, we're not visiting it anymore. Shakedown in Sauertal (close to friday's first stage) was great, pitty that's not run anymore... So we're arriving on thursday night.

Thanks Tom - what I thought in 2013, but hoped there might be a better point than that I'd been at then! Would like a WRC fix though ;-)

Why do F1 womens cup collide with real men WRC events all the time? Bad planning from FIA it is!!

Technically due to the WRC's (stupid) early finish rule on Sunday's they don't clash. But I know what you mean. I was going to head up to Spa on the Sunday but have opted to do both runs of Dhrontal instead.

Well, last year Konz had its charm. Afterwards I asked Neuville how many rolls he counted, I counted seven. He corrected and showed six with his two hands. But prior to that, that place was veeeeeery dull indeed.

For two years we spectated at the last hairpin right. Okeyish. For a long view and sausage, "the stadium" is nice, but it definitely gives no WRC fix. It's only a short walk from the last hairpin right. Hopefully one year again the shakedown would be somewhere else.
