So all their common starts in 2012. Bare in mind Gassner has much more experience, he even did SWRC 2011 in Fabia S2000. In that time Wiegand was driving some Swift N2 and Fiesta R2...
Acores IRC
Wiegand 4th (+5:20)
Gassner 5th (+6:23)
Canarias IRC
Wiegand 6th
Gassner accident (in time of crash 6th 20 secs ahead of Wiegand)
Tour de Corse IRC
Wiegand 8th (+6:54,8)
Gassner 9th (+7:10,2)
Rally Deutschland SWRC
Wiegand - accident in penultimate stage, after leg 1 14th; after leg 2 11th
Gassner - 21st, after leg 1 16th; after leg 2 29th
Wiegand has to improve alot on gravel. In cyprus on some stages he got 3s per km from mikkelsen and that is quite frankly a calendar in rallying
Wiegand is better on gravel than asphalt. Gassner didn't compete against him on gravel that is true. But Wiegand was loosing much less to IRC front runners on gravel than on asphalt. He even won a stage in San Marino against Mikkelsen and Basso.Quote:

Wiegand need an experienced high professional Co Driver for his future.
Ok i was wrong about Gassner. He was showing great speed in spain last year but my point was why vw wants so much a german driver when they know that alot of other drivers have a brighter future
He had that with Timo GottschalkQuote:
