Ostberg loosing from Kreim?
http://www.ewrc-results.com/results....ersachsen-2016
Yesterday he said that they sould have gone for the long ratio gearbox, as they were on the limiter most of the time. Don't know if they put that in today, but he just won SS5.Quote:

Hats off to Kreim! Dominant win at Niedersachsen Rallye with 11 of 13 best times in front of Ostberg.
Kreim is definitely No. 1 in German rally championship, Riedemann with no chance at all.
Ostberg dissapointing as in WRC.
Pity Wiegand doesn't drive regularly anymore.
Of course, think also about the fact: works Fabia compare to private P208.....the times when Pug was equal to Fabia already gone....Quote:

It's not works car.
Kreim is in his only second 4WD season in his life. I think that You are too critical to him. There aren't many drivers who can start winning regularly right from the beginning. He is still at the start of his career.
About Fabian Kreim: he has the luck Skoda Germany invest a lot in him; he drives in 2016 the German championship, the Asian-Pacific rounds, already 2 rounds in Czech from one of them was the Barum ERC round and also the German WRC round. And when the competition is strong (WRC & ERC) you can clearly see he has still a long way to go to reach the top.
Skoda gives him also a semi-factory car and that's why he's a bit faster (on the straights) against a privat driver like Riedemann. I think Riedemann (and Aaron Burkhart) are the most talented drivers in Germany. Sepp Wiegand was also nothing special, like Kreim a lot of rally's and support but in the end it was clear he wouldn't make it to the (even the ERC) top.
Wiegand had good speed in his last ERC season and what is important he didn't reach his performance peak. You can go event by event through his international starts and You can find reasonable progress everywhere until Škoda kicked him out. Frankly for me it's a bit sad story as he had 5 podiums and only one accident in ERC in 2014 out of 8 starts and till the last event he was in the fight for the title against Lappi. Seriously I can't see how somebody could expect more when he had no podium at all in 2013 but obviously it wasn't enough...
For sure it was not enough otherwise somebody else picked him up, he just wasn't fast enough. Stage-times are leading and he was never the fastest. A good driver for sure but a regular one like the Ostbergs etc.Quote:

Private? Isn't Riedemann a works driver for Peugeot Germany? Kreim and Riedemann are two semi-works drivers theoretically...Quote:

Why you say so about Burkart? It never really impressed me, and after the JWRC title he won he quickly disappeared... Wiegand on the other side, as Mirek pointed out, was improving and definitely deserved another season in my opinionQuote:

Considering this I´d rate Ostberg´s result at Niedersachsen even worse.

Good drive by Dinkel (and Knof with old Peugeot S2000)
Kreim is not the new Röhrl/Schwarz...
First round of Adam Cup dominated by foreigners. Madsen DK - Kristensson S - Beattie IRL
Of course Kreim ist not the new Röhrl/Schwarz, but he´ll easily win the German tiltle this year again, now even easier after Riedemann´s accident. But even without his accident Riedemann would always have been a typical runner up-driver.Quote:

I was reading that after accident Riedemann will not drive anymore this year... pity, from the video it didn't look that bad. Also I heard Kreim didn't stop on the place of accident, looks like that on the video also. So that's really not OK and federation should do something...
Next is Sulingen
No Riedemann.
Adam cup leader Madsen uncertain after crash last week in DanishRC. Message for his (female) co-driver last week: Hi everyone, it's Line that's updating you. I have been released from the hospital and has been picked up by my mom. Jacob is still in for observation. Thank you for all of your messages, greetings and calls, we try to respond as good as we are able to. Thank you to all who helped on the stage, everything went by really professionally and we have been in good hands during all of this.

Incident Kreim not stopping after Riedemann´s accident is still under investigation of national motorsport board. Co-driver of Riedemann is accusing Kreim rather hefty:

10. Andersson (Adam R2) +11:13,8
Retired for example: Kreim (Fabia R5) - crash, Dinkel (Fabia R5) - broken suspension, Knof (208 T16 R5) - crash
German ASN decided to penalize Fabian Kreim for the incident from Vogelsberg Rally where Kreim didn't stop at the scene of serious accident of Christian Riedemann. Kreim has to pay fine 5000 Euro and he lost also all points from Vogelsberg Rally (final results of the rally stays).
Michael Wenzel, co-driver of Riedemann is said to be so badly injured that his career is over. Christian Riedemann may be fit for rallying around the end of the year.
Anyone knows more details? Mainly of the discussions about the safety procedures, as I heard it's big discussion about it now in Germany.
Some criticize the rule of the next car having to stop after a heavy accident of the former car if there is no OK-sign (and as it was the case in this incident).
Priority should be safety. And usually next car is the first on scene of accident and is first who should help or call the emergency...Quote:

From Madsen Facebook:
Jacob Madsen Rallying was feeling fantastic.
4 hrs ·
I går var Jacob til kontrol på sygehuset og fik taget nye billeder af sin ryg. Resultatet var at alt så ud som det skulle, han er helet og må igen sætte sig i en rallybil! ��
-----------------
Jacob was at a check at the hospital yesterday and got new pictures taken of his back. The result was that everything looked good, he has healed as he should and are allowed to get back in a rally car!

Hey Fans of Rallyes. How about to Take a Seat as Co-Pilot in the BMW Roadster? I have seen this possibility as an auction here, so the auction winner can drive during the Hamburg-Berlin-Klassik-Rallye with the Prince Leopold of Bavaria in this nice old car. And as i've seen, this auction is for a good cause!
Co Pilot BMW Roadster
Very Nice :wave:
