Wrc Deutschland 2017

Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to locate the stage roads now based on ADAC's day maps; kind of tricky figuring out the paths they will be taking thru the vineyards. Will there be single-stage maps eventually? Starting to get excited about this!

There's no choice - vineyards and once the schedule is out, you'll know could you see the 3rd pass on the "rundkurs".

Sounds like a plan to me!

German driver Armin Kremer (38) who has been working with Ford in the early noughties will start at the German WRC round in an M-Sport prepared '17 Fiesta WRC.

This is a little odd and therefore interesting. Wilson says it's great for the team to have Kremer's experience (he is a three times German champ). But I doubt that alone is the reason. It's probably mostly to showcase a German in a Ford in Germany.

Edit: Sorry guys I just noticed it's already in the News thread.

Kremer is actually 48, born the same year as Marcus Grönholm. Kremer's best WRC result was 8th place in Monte Carlo 1998(!) and after that a couple of 10th places and some WRC2 podiums. I'm expecting him at best to match the times of the WRC Trophy guys. But of course Malcolm has to rent a car if someone offers money and of course it's an attraction to the German audience.

Can't think that Kremer would be that much of an attraction to a German audience, unlike the number of extra Belgians that would turn out to see Loix, say.

Hard to say for me as a Finnish person because I'm used to seeing Finnish drivers on WRC cars all the time but when was the last time we saw a top level German driver? Has there been anyone after Schwarz?

The last time a German had a start in WRC car was Aaron Burkart in a one off for M-Sport in Germany 2011...

You may recall the Skoda development team where VW were trying to find a German to parachute into the A team - Sepp Wiegand got closest IIRC.
