germany rally news

[morganmilan]

Wikinger rally, first round of DRM, is beginning today. Four ss this evening, and eight more ss tomorrow. Sandro Wallenwein and Hermann Gassner are likely to be the main german favourite drivers, aside danish ones (Madsen, Jensen, etc). It´ll be interesting to follow Bernhard (Porsche) and Mohe (Megane) paces.

[Tom206wrc]

Can't wait the event to start :bounce:

[HaCo]

Can't wait the event to start :bounce:

Yep, same here! Looking forward to the Megane as well!

[darkstar]

stage times here: http://www.znts.de/zeitnahme/live_ergebnis_open.php?rallye_id=49

good time from mohe!

[Tom206wrc]

I can't believe Mohe is threatening the danish 207 S2000s on SS1 :s
I hope that won't last of course :p :

[Tom206wrc]

SS2 stopped after the 4 first crews ???? :confused:

[darkstar]

im not sure, it took a lot of time till dobberkau´s time came through and now nothing is happening anymore. i have also no other news yet.

[darkstar]

now the times work again...

My fault! I´m afraid I missed Herbold and his Fiesta s2000

[morganmilan]

After three stages, Herbold is clearly faster than Wallenwein. it´s a shame he doesn´t run DRM. Let´s wait for Mohe and Bernhard

[morganmilan]

Wallenwein loses a lot of time at third stage. No chances for top three at all :rolleyes:

Bernhard?? As in the Porsche/Audi LMP driver Timo Bernhard....?? I remember reading both Bernhard/Dumas would be Rallying this season but wasn't sure it would be this early seeing as the Sportscar season has started.

Oh good, I like to see drivers come out of their comfort zone and try different disciplines.

[Tom206wrc]

Plenty of technical problems with the live timing website !!! Now I even can't acceed to it :mad:

Not very good indeed, Tom ;)

[morganmilan]

Today´s times can be seen here
http://www.rallye-magazin.de/r/dm/rallyes/2011/wikinger-rallye/infos/index.html
and sixth position by Mohe is really good with the new Megane!

[HaCo]

I like these kind of graphs on the rallye-magasin website: http://www.sideways.de/results.php?RID=wikinger11&starterID=13885&view=results&show=3

[Tom206wrc]

No more results coming neither this morning on the live-timing of the rally(after the first 10 crews) :rolleyes:

[Tom206wrc]

Is SS7 Wikinger Rallye starting late, or is it again technical problem with the live-timing :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Retirement of Carsten Mohe in SS9 Wikinger Rally :mark:

Three S2000s on provisional podium after SS10 :p :

[morganmilan]

Really difficult indeed to follow the reults of Wikinger rally. Last stage is now on the run. Up to now, best time for Bernhard, and Herbold is supposed to have won the rally with his Fiesta s2000, ahead danish drivers Madsen and Jensen (both of the with s2000), then Wallenwein, and Gassner. It´s a shame Mohe´s retirement, but so is rallying. However, the Megane has great potential imo (better dry tarmac, of course). Wallenwein maybe german champion this season, but, with a championship without Herbold, MWallenwein, Kahle, etc, it would be a very devaluated crown. :rolleyes:

[morganmilan]

Great result for Mysliwietz. Fifth amongst german drivers, and fastest 2wd driver!

[morganmilan]

And DRM standings after Wikinger: SWallenwein (29), Mysliwietz (24), Gassner (23)...A rather pretty little representative list, imho

Hi,do you Know the real Registration Plate of Madsen's 207 S2000??
Thank's!!
Brian told me, that it was the same car, he used once last year in the final Danish Championship rally. It is chassis number 050 - but I did not notice the reg number in Wikinger.

But I have checked pics from the Danish rally last year and there the registration is EC 188 NX

[morganmilan]

Thnx a lot Darkstar! Nice to see Florian Niegel there!

[katxal]

i have a litlle doubt about one car.
Sandro Wallenwein used an Octavia WRC at Germany Rallye Championship 2006...after that he sold it but my question is...where was the car in 2005?
Thanks ;)

[darkstar]

yes, good to see niegel back, its the car from jürgen stehr. but somehow its also disappointing, a talented young german driver with no real future, once again.

also nice to see horst rotter giving a comeback, i guess its the car stebani was driving in 2009/10, the group n corsa. would have been better with the s1600 of course ;) as far as i know he still owns the s1600.

@katxal: i´m sorry, but i have no idea where the car came from or where it went to.

[darkstar]

i just noticed that in the startlist something must be wrong, rotter´s car does not belong to division 2, whether its s1600 or group n car. both would start in division 3. i first thought the group n car would start in div. 2 but it doesnt, so its open yet if its grp. n oder s1600 corsa, i really hope its the s1600, he was always great with that car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yat7VGvTyQQ

I´m sorry I have no idea, but I´m almost sure this Octavia had got the plate "s-wt 80". Maybe that makes the search easier?

Thnx for the video! What I really don´t understand is Rotter´s car classified as klass 0 car. Maybe a new wrc from Opel just brand developed? :D :D

[darkstar]

hehe, yes there defenetly something went wrong. another option would be the s2000 corsa but this would be division 1...

[jolle1982]

and when he upgratetd the corsa to an R3???

[pucky54]

and when he upgratetd the corsa to an R3???

There is no homologated Corsa R3!!

[darkstar]

even if it would be a r3t(witch, like pucky says, actually does not exist) he would start in division 3. even mohe starts in division 3 though his megane is n4. but its only 2 wheel drive.

[darkstar]

aaron burkart is also on the startlist now, with a golf kitcar! but i have no idea where the car comes from.

[morganmilan]

It´s a shame, but it looks like he has got no clear plains and/or money to run a proper season :mad:

[morganmilan]

And Ruben Zeltner with a Porsche 911 GT, against Stoelzel, Bernhard and Dobberkau, wow!. Btw, is Dobberkau going to run? Is the problem with his licence solved?

[katxal]

Thanks for the answer Morgan and darkstar...i already have the plate...but it´s a mistery where it came from...i dont speak german so it´s almost impossible for me to contact mr. wallenwein :(

[jolle1982]

i think it is the car who drive kenneth eriksson in the world championship!

Obveously there was not much history for 2005, rumors say it was 2004 Szabo Gergely car from Hungary sold or offered by Erwin Weber Co. ... I will make sure by next week.

[morganmilan]

Carsten Mohe, with a Renault Megane, has won the Erzgebirge rally in Germany. It´s his first winning with his new car. Behind him, czech Jiri Pertlicek. Peter Corazza, one of main favourites, only fourth.

[morganmilan]

Mathias Kahle, current german champion, is going to run rallysprint Luzicke Hory, in Czech Republic, in a couple of weeks, again with his Octvia wrc. More runnings with the Octavia are planned and will be announced. Our hopes to see him at the wheel of the Fabia s2000 again with a proper campaign are just cutting down...

A video from the first ever win of Renault Megane N4:

[urabus-denoS2000]

How did Mohe compare to the fast Corazza in the Mitsubishi ?

[morganmilan]

How did Mohe compare to the fast Corazza in the Mitsubishi ?
Corazza had got quite rather bad luck in this rally. He made a mistake wlth stamping at controls on Friday and he was strongly penalized with five minutes. So the rally was over for him. He went flat out on Saturday instead making all eight fast times, and cutted down Mohe´s advantage from 6 min to 3 min 40 sec, but he made only the fourth final position. So, we can say, Corazza was clearly faster than Mohe, on the roads at least.

On the video I also saw that Corazza had a puncture on that superspecial kind of stage, he was catched by Mohe at that place. So that is extra time Corazza looses. But again, many gravel roads are not ideal for the Megane, still in early development. I hope that one day sooner or later the Megane will be able to follow the classic N4 cars.

[Jarek Z]

I hoped that the engine in this Megane would sound a little more exciting. Does it work best at low revs?

That´s right HaCo. He suffered from a puncture and lost more or less a minute. He could have got a place on the podium if not.

Great pictures!
After the first leg the rally has become really exciting: first seven teams in less than a minute :) . Bernhard´s pace looks impressive, ahead Zeltner, Corazza or Dobberkau in spite of his lack of rallying experience. Promising day, tomorrow ;)

[morganmilan]

Gassner had mechanical troubles, racing in three cylinders. Sorry, no news yet about Corazza and Bernhard

[morganmilan]

Both retirements of Corazza and Bernahrd appear to be due to mechanical troubles as well

[Wim_Impreza]

Thank you.

[morganmilan]

Herbold makes the gap ahead Wallenwein clearly bigger: 1 min 20 sec. It seems to me we have rally winner!

[morganmilan]

Mohe, with his Megane, fighting for seventh place against an...Opel Ascona :D

[morganmilan]

In the rally Vogelsberg no final surprises. Gassner passed over Dobberkau and achieved the fifth place. Easy winning for Herbold. Wallenwein, second within more than two minutes, and Schuhej, third, with a Lancer Evo VII. Mohe, seventh, and another 2wd winning for Mysliwietz. Therefore, DRM goes on with its absurd standings: Wallenwein gets an increasing advantage as leader, but Herbold wins all the rallyes :rolleyes:

[Wim_Impreza]

Indeed, that is not normal that Herbold isn't leading the championship. It was his last DRM rally of the season if his calendar is right on his website.

Sorry to say this, but the level in Germany isn't very high as you see that Herbold wins so easy and that Schuhej is third overall with an Evo VII. :( Some young German talented drivers disappear with lack of budget, while very experienced drivers can do the whole championship...

Right as usual, Wim. The level isn´t certainly very high and we have a quite rather veteran generation of drivers who go on running the season, as young talented drivers, as you said, get being dropped aside. I told you once that I´ve always been very jealous of your belgian rallying scene ;)

[Wim_Impreza]

Thanks again for your nice reaction. I really hope Herbold can do good results and it is nice that Ypres and the ADAC Rallye Deutschland are on his program. He will learn a lot in this rallies and I really hope he can do more interenational rallies next year, but I know that all depends on the budget.

I must say German people are making very nice program books and the drivers and teams have much more postcards or posters than in Belgium. :)

The general standings of DRM after Vogelsberg: Wallenwein (61), Mysliwietz (48), Gassner (47), Abendroth (40), Wiegand and Griebel (35). Because of the scoring system, the last three drivers are very highly situated at standings, in spite of not having general points at all, only class points :rolleyes:

The first shot is amazing! Do You know what happened to Bernhard?

Why is Herbold missing?
Herbold hasn´t made his entry for DRM this year. In fact, he has no plans to run more DRM rallyes during the rest of the season, up to now at least

Before rally Pfalz, the rally Sulinger is going to be held next week. Among entries danish Ib Kragh and dutch Jasper Van den Heuvel. Even Jan van der Marel with his Porsche.Very intresting to see Christian Riedemann´s pace, although he runs a Twingo. ;)

The first shot is amazing! Do You know what happened to Bernhard?

flat belt again


Indeed, that is not normal that Herbold isn't leading the championship. It was his last DRM rally of the season if his calendar is right on his website.

Sorry to say this, but the level in Germany isn't very high as you see that Herbold wins so easy and that Schuhej is third overall with an Evo VII. :( Some young German talented drivers disappear with lack of budget, while very experienced drivers can do the whole championship...

Herbold and many others didnt register to the championship. Silent protest. EVO 7 driver got everything perfect in his homerally and was group H as I know, same like Kuchar in Poland... Why not?

[Mirek]

Thanks for info.

[morganmilan]

Next 12-14th May, we´re going to have Sachsen rally. It´s the first scoring round for DRS ("the other" championship this year in Germany) of seven (including final rallyesprint). This championship has a completely different calendar from DRM.
Link to provisional entry list for Sachsen is here:
http://www.avd-sachsen-rallye.de/fahrer-informationen/nennliste-avd-sachsen-rallye-2011.html
and a piece of good news: We are seeing again Kahle and MWallenwein with their Fabias against Herbold, the Porsches, etc

[Mirek]

So Škoda Deutschland decided to help DRS against DRM. Interesting.

[morganmilan]

So Škoda Deutschland decided to help DRS against DRM. Interesting.
I really don´t know if it´s a deliberate strategy, but the result seems to be like that. You´re right. Although I remember Skoda as one of the main sponsors in the Wikinger, the first DRM round. I actually thought it was a "sign" of works Skodas entries, but it wasn´t

[darkstar]

so, skoda germany is not starting in drm or drs, they´ll only do rallye sachsen as a test and then start a small irc programm: barum, mescek(both cars), cyprus(only kahle) and scottland(mabye only kahle, maybe both).

Arghh no YPres :(

[darkstar]

yes...probably scarred, gettting totally beaten up at barum is enough already ;) i dont know what they think all this is good for. they wont be able to fight for anything, wallenwein is really not a good driver (in my opinion, only look at monte, it says all) and kahle was also never that good but is also not bad. but both got beaten by herbold in his first drive ever with the privately entered fiesta, after both, wallenwein and kahle, had done a full drm season with the skodas. now kahle is also getting older, isnt taking mutch risks anymore(probably they also have not so mutch money in the background) so i guess theyre probably just aming for "finnishing"...at least kahles driving style is spectacular usually(especially with wrc´s he´s really nice).

[mousti]

Well I think they have more chance in Ypres then Barum. Ypres stages are more similar to Germany stages then Barum stages on narrow road between trees and stuff.

[Hartusvuori]

... stages on narrow roads between trees and stuff.

Entry list link:
http://www.msg-sulingen.de/rallye/rallye-teilnehmer.htm
And after eight stages, Van den Heuvel leaders clearly the rally with a gap of more than two minutes on Knoebel (Subaru) and third is Riedemann, very fast with his Twingo. Kragh has lost a lot of time at this stage and he´s dropped into 28th place

[HaCo]

Is Van den Heuvel testing his R4? Is it the first rally for this car?

[Wim_Impreza]

No, it is the Group N but later this year we will see him in the R4 car. ;)

[morganmilan]

Sulinger rally came to an end and Van den heuvel took an easy winning with his Lancer. Kragh was second (sorry for my fault before, there was no such a delay, but a mistake with live times), and Knoebel, third (and first german driver). Riedemann, finallly, seventh. Link to results:
http://www.msg-sulingen.de/

[morganmilan]

Pfalz rally, third scoring round for DRM took place last weekend. Very thrilling fight between Wallenwein and Gassner. Wallenwein won, and Pritzl got the third position. Class winnings for Mohe and Wiegand but Mysliwietz retired. Championship standings after the rally are as follows:
1-Wallenwein-96
2-Gassner-74
3-Wiegand-57
4-Sulzinger-52
5-Mysliwietz-48

[morganmilan]

I must add that Sepp Wiegand seems to be a promising driver. His results with his Suzuki are really interesting, and he is only 20 y.o.

[jolle1982]

on this weekend first round of the german rally series. avd sachsen rallye zwickau. big fight for the victory between 3 s2000 and 3 porsche 911. herbold, kahle, wallenwein jr. vs dobberkau, zeltner, stölzel

im exited what will happen at sachsen rallye, i bet herbold will beat the skoda guys up!

[darkstar]

i´m really suprised, i would have herbold expected to easily beat the skoda´s. after the first 6 stages it looks like this: http://www.znts.de/zeitnahme/live_ergebnis_open.php?rallye_id=65

but even more impressive is zeltner, amazing speed with that porsche! the sachsen rallye stages are very fast and flowing in parts, witch might give him some advantage. but still this is very fast!

I'm really looking forward to see Felix abroad because it's clear that German playground is small for him.

[morganmilan]

A thrilling rally! Great pictures! No doubt Herbold is a really fast driver and the way he has passed over the Skodas and Porsches has impressed me. In DRS championship, this was the first round. As Dobberkau is the only driver who has made his entry among the first ones at standings of the rally, he´s the first leader of DRS with 36 points. Let´s hope Herbold could set off on an international career. Germany needs such fast drivers... ;)

[mousti]

http://www.rallye-magazin.de/index.php?id=d15&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=42383&cHash=971d16b3fa Seems he got even lucky his Fiesta caught fire probably after finish of stages then? But what the hell is wrong with those Fiestas so 4-5 Fiesta's have I seen in fire already :s .

We'll see what Herbold can do in Ypres!

There are indeed a lot of Czech teams and also the British driver Graham Coffey in his Impreza WRC S12B. Olaf Dobberkau is driving the 00 car and Stig Blomqvist the 0 car with an Audi Quattro S1.

Great to see Michal Sum in the entry list. He is very fast and spectacular driver but very rarely on stages. Who was ever on Barum rally must know him because he is regular 0 car driver (Skoda 130 RS). If I remember right he was also second among historics last year in Rally Estonia.

[morganmilan]

Great info, Wim! ;) It´s difficult to keep on a national rally scene with two championships :rolleyes: . Difficult, expensive and absurd. Let´s wait everybody makes sense and we have a real only one national championship next season!

No doubt Herbold is the fastest driver now. I´m looking forward to Ypres too. But I think we shouldn´t judge his skills development on one only round. A good international season would be very interesting for him. If he had the budget...

[darkstar]

yes thats defenetly true. i dont really think he has to big chances at ypres. something in the top 10 would already be very good.

this weekend´s the next run for DRS, the rallye wartburg, start is on saturday evening.

startlist here (http://www.mc-eisenach.de/scripts/dbfiles/62557/480881a325445a14594e6200811caa82/20110803%20Nennungen.pdf)

stagetimes here (http://www.sportas.de/ergebnis/index.php?inhalt=ergebnisauswahl&rallye=WA11)

really interesting entries are egon kaur who leads wrc academy, and sepp wiegand who will drive riedemanns fiesta r2 at rallye germany. both use the rallye as a test. i consider wiegand as one of the best(or maybe even best) german talent at the moment. he´s never driven sutch a powerfull car yet, but had very good results with his suzuki swift group n. for example drove at rallye rouerque(first rallye outside of germany) and set lots of fastest times in the french suzuki cup and also was faster then twingo r1 cup drivers on several stages. so im very exited how fast he will be compared to kaur. are there tarmac rallye´s in estonia? is kaur used to tarmac?

[Franky]

There are no tarmac rallies in Estonia. Only some stages are driven on tarmac and those are basically the super special stages because they take place in the city/town.

[darkstar]

ah ok, thanks. so he probably has almost no tarmac experience i guess...

[MartijnS]

Kaur has driven the Almere Rally in the Netherlands once ;)

[darkstar]

i visited wartburg rallye yesterday, must say kaur was quite on the limit, at last on one place he was very spectacular. but as a german i´m also a bit proud that sepp wiegand can keep up with him. he was also faster on some stages then kaur. it´s the first time he drives the fiesta and its only the 2nd season he´s driving rallye in his life, he´s only 20 years old now. on he other hand kaur of course has not mutch tarmac experience as we know now, so i maybe should not overrate this. but let´s see what the german academy round will bring.

and last but not least, here´s my video:

When the driver subscribe before 25.10.2010 the cost is 120 euro, otherwise it is 160 euro. Maybe the entry costs are lower for foreign drivers.

Two questions: On the last pictures, where exactly is the road where the cars continue, because I can't see any. Then.... the picture IMG_9035.JPG (between Trabant and Mazda 323), is that car allowed as hand luggage by most air carriers? What car is that anyway ... a Fiat 127 or similar?

Stupid thing with helmets and Hans - how is that even possible? Hope you are covered.

[HarriK]

Hartusvuori:
-the road continues in that 90degree junction straight to the left (right side of the photo). Inside was grass and the road came very soft very soon. (last driven stage number 12). The start of the stage was just 50m to the left of the photos. They drove something like 3km course 2times there and then little road to the finish.
- that Fiat is 126p

I hope Kim Madsen's 306 Maxi will be able to give a run for their money to Felix Herbold, Carsten Mohe and Christian Riedemann at the Wikinger Rallye(in 2WD championship) ;)

Does anyone know any weird and wonderful motorsport races/championships happening in Germany in the next few months? Anything from hillclimbing (traditional) to lawnmower racing (different!), karting or buggies...anything on four wheels. I want to film something amateur in Germany (or another European country if possible). Please help guys, any contacts are welcome.

You get extra points if it's close to Rally Deutschland 2012, so that I can follow that too.

Thanks / Gruesse!!

there´s a lot for sure, how long do you stay in germany/europe? should the event(s) be near to rallye germany too?

Wonderful news for all Porsche fans: Ruben Zeltner won the Sachsen Rally!! With his old 996 GT3 be beat the hell out of all S2000 & N4 drivers. And the top of this-Olaf Dobberkau was third with his brand new 997 GT3. So, do not understimate 911's....and their drivers, of course.

In one word: Zeltner is one hell of a driver!! To drive a rear wheel drive car so fast (GT3 in rally trim can reach up to 240 km/h) on village roads, sometimes wet by rain (and belive me, 911 dos not like wet surface), and then go flat on gravel, you got to have bull testicles....You are the men, Ruben!!

Hat trick for PZ Motorsport - Team Zeltners won a dry Rallye Thüringen last weekend nearly 2 minutes in Front of Dobberkaus

Zeltners siegen auch in Thüringen*:: rallye-magazin.de (http://www.rallye-magazin.de/rallyes/drs/nachrichten/news-detail/d/2012/06/09/zeltners-auch-in-thueringen-vorn/index.html)

[Tom206wrc]

Why are they only 38 on the "start line" of this evening's SS1 Pfalz Westrich Rallye(they were 65 on entrylist) :confused:
Are the others forfaits or scruteneering isn't over yet :confused:
Willkommen beim Zeitnahmeteam Saar (http://www.znts.de/)

[Andy_L]

Things are pretty bad right now, with Sachsen Rallye organizers walking out from the DRM (joining the rival DRS) and only 2 (T-W-O) teams signed up for the German championship right now. Apparently also Hankook's bid for becoming the spec tire supplier has backfired in a big way.

So I wouldn't be particularly surprised to see more forfaits.

[Tom206wrc]

In fact scruteneering was in live on the ZNTS website: 61 crews were accepted ;)
But already some retirements though: Foxius, Zeltner, Hunziker :mark:

Why SS6, 7 and 8 Wikinger Rally cancelled this morning :confused:
Just returned home from a very snowy Wikinger Rally. The organizers had snowploughs at the stages 4 hours before the start and they managed to clear both SS 5 and 6 (which should also be SS 7 and 8). SS 5 went as planned, but a very strong wind and even more snow meant, that it was impossible also to keep the access roads to the stage clear, so it would not be possible to get the rescue vehicles through in case of an accident. Thus they were cancelled for safety reasons. Same happened to SS 12 and 13 in the afternoon (and also to SS 4 the night before).
