The story
Day1
Gross went to lead the rally. Tänak also one one stage on Day 1 and the difference was not too big. Koitla broke his gearbox on SS2 and repaired it in the stage (lost 13 minutes), Aus lost some time when benting his rear wheel on the city stage and getting some time penalties in service while fixing it. Kangur jumped too far on SS2 and had some problems with the car for the rest of the day.
Day2
Started with the most difficult stages. One of them was almost new stage (SS5) as well. It is very narrow, fast with a lot of rythm changes. Tänak won those two stages and took nearly 20 seconds lead in front of Gross who was complaining on early morning wake-up problems (Tänak effort is clearly visible, you can see that sponsor sticers on the front bumper are worn out). Kaur was doing second fastest times and climbed to second place. Kõrge had some central diff problems. Gross started to take back time on the second passes and before the last stage he was still 4.4 seconds behind Tänak. Both put their maximum on the last stage and Gross won the rally by just 2 seconds - he managed to wake up and use the potential of his car. However, Tänak told that he has no regrets. There wasnt any places on the rally route where he could have taken these 2 seconds.
Meanwhile, Kaur had a puncture in SS8 (re-run of SS6) and he dropped to fourth. Kangur had problems with his confidence and everything. Plangi had one nasty Spin.
The final result is that Tänak/Järveoja are Estonian N4 Champions (while taking part in four out of 6 events in Estonian Championship), Pärn/Järveoja are Estonian 2WD champions after the rally. Gross won all the rallies in 2013 season and became overall champion, OT Racing is Estonian champion in team contest.
Lot of spectators, estimations are over 20 000.

This coming week-end last round of danish championship(Danboring Rally) :)
http://www.rallyresult.dk/
Championship deciding time in Denmark now also, none of the championships are done yet.Quote:

The main championship (Division A - S2000 / N4) still has three potential winners, and many scenarios can still play out:
With the way the rules are put together, Christian Jensen HAS to get more points than Ib Kragh , he will lose tie-break situations no matter what.
Tim Svanholt would win a tie-break if he wins, and Kragh is NOT second. Jensen will only gain a tie-break on Svanholt if he wins the race.
Standings are:
Kragh 71 points
Jensen 67
Svanholt 64
Maximum score is 23 points (20 for a win, 3 for a win on 'Super Special Stage', Danish version of the Power Stage - in Herning this is Stage 12)
In Division B (in-homologation 2wd tuned - R2, R3, S1600), Frank Nielsen just has to finish to guarantee the championship, he leads Jacob Jensen by 17 points. Jacob is the only competitor with a chance of reaching Frank.
The fight for second overall however is tight, four drivers within 13 points, but no Klaus Hammer due to his crash at the fourth round of the championship.
An interesting addition is the return of Kasper Nyman, this time in a Fiat 500 R3T - the first R3T we have seen in Danish rallying, and a car I saw in person at Condroz 2011 at the hands of Vincent Radermecker. Dont know the history of this particular car, but Kasper has said that it is a factory built car.
In Division C (national homologation tuned 2wd - old maxis, homebuilds etc.), three drivers with a mathematical chance, though realistically Kenneth Madsen will be champion if he finishes. He has the tie-break on Morten Karl (non-starter due to an engine failure at a recent test) and a 14 point advantage over Jesper Bisted, the closest challenger. Kjeld Seidler is the other driver in with a chance at the title, should be very interesting if Madsens recent engine trouble strikes again, otherwise it might end up processional with the fastest of the three just needing a finish.
Division D (national homologation untuned 2wd), same situation as in Division B, one driver just has to finish to secure the title.
Henrik Larsen leads by 19 points from Nicolai Jensen and 22 from Ole Jensen.
I will be at the service park all day, and will try to see if I can update during the day in between servicing 'my' car.
Stage 1 starts at 11:29 and the final stage (points paying SS 12) will be at 18:55.
And just as a little teaser, then this is a link to the TV-review of the last round, please let me know if it is possible to view on a foreign IP. :)

Thank you for the update! It is possible to see program in Finland (at least). Very nice review indeed eventhough your spoken language is a bit difficult to understand. It beats our FRC programs 10-0 => somebody should look this and learn how to make decent reviews ;) ;)Quote:

The other reviews of the season are also on the same channel.
I cant remember exactly, either he broke the rear diff or a drive shaft - either way he had to limp through the final stage, and at the stage-end interview he says that he isn't even sure if they will make it to the final TC.
Entry list for Waldviertel Rallye, Austria: http://www.waldviertelrallye.com/cms/?page_id=43
The biggest surprise of the entry list is, that Walter Mayer entered with a Peugeot 207 S 2000 from BRR (!!!???). It will be interesting, if Kajto - with the Impreza - can battle with Baumschlager for the victory.
Many good austrian drivers are missing (Harrach, Grössing, Stohl, Rosenberger, Danzinger etc.). By the way I read in an austrian newspaper, that Harrach´s main sponsor should have finacial problems. Hopefully that doesn´t have any influence on his programme next year.
I´m with you, hopefully Harrach stays, he and Grössing are the only real rivals for Baumschlager and BRR in Austrian championship.
Surprised about Walter Mayer too, maybe a pay drive?
I don´t think Kajto with the Impreza is able to battle with Baumschlager - just look at Jänner Rallye 2013.
Curious about Simon Wagner first time competing in a proper car (Evo IX instead of his usual old Evo III)
Wagner´s pace will be interesting.
But I´m a little bit afraid, that some fans in Austria have really unrealsitic expectations about him. Don´t get me wrong, I really think, that he is a talented guy, but still very unexperienced. After he won stage three of the Jänner Rallye some people in Austria thought, he would be already able to drive in the WRC. But you shouldn´t forget, that the road conditions of this stage were completley different when he drove compared to Bouffier or Kopecky.
I´m also not sure, if the people that surround him are that helpful for his career in the rallysport.
I agree. I don't think that Kajto will be giving his 100%. He is going there only to gain international experience. But of course I'd like to be wrong! :)Quote:

A review of the sixth and final round of the Danish championships, contested on Saturday on the roads around the large sports town of Herning.
There was a beautiful setting for the event, as the service park was indoors in part of the massive MCH-complex, which started as a convention center - but today it has blossomed into also including the biggest concert venue in the country (Jyske Bank Boxen) and an 11.800-capacity stadium for the football team (MCH Arena). This worked really well, and was to play a major part in the tension late in the day. Besides the service park, there was also a stage right outside the door, so spectators and service crews alike could watch a bit of live action.
The weather on the day was VERY tricky, it was more or less wet to begin with, then dried up as we came closer to first service, then a bit of rain, and then the heavens really opened up! Tire choice was a massive gamble, and the tricky conditions no doubt helped along the drama of the last loop of stages.
To recap the boring bit of the day: The three crews that just had to finish to win the title in their division? Well, they did. Kenneth Madsen champion in Division C (tuned national 2wd), Frank Nielsen in Division B (R2 and R3 cars) and Henrik Larsen in Division D (basically Group E).
Kenneth Madsen won Division C on the day as well, but could be counted as a bit lucky to have done so - Benny Pedersen was the quicker on the day, but broke a steering arm and had to retire. Closest challenger was Jesper Bisted, who drove safe to take the silver medal overall.
Division B was won by a returning Simon Vallentin (206 S1600) who ran away from Kim Madsen to take a safe win by just under a minute.
Division D was taken by young Jacob Madsen (younger brother of Kenneth) - fastest driver on the day, with a winning margin of nearly three minutes.
And now back to the drama bit: The overall championship.
Before the race, Ib Kragh led by 4 points from Christian Jensen and 7 points from Tim Svanholt - the two first in 207 S2000s and Svanholt in an Evo IX. The expectations were quite clear: The championship would be decided on pace between Kragh and Jensen, or Svanholt would bring it home on consistency.
From the early morning start (or not.. 11 o'clock. :rolleyes: ) Christian Jensen set the pace, and by the time of the first service, he led by almost half a minute from Svanholt. Kragh was fifth, but had issues on stage 1 and again on stage 3.
Second service, Jensen still led by slightly less than half a minute, but from Steen Andersen (Evo X) now - Svanholt third, and Kragh only 11th after further problems.
At this, the midway point of the event, the championship was with Jensen, Kragh second and Svanholt third. Let's just say, that would change!
At the final service, with three stages left to go.. in torrential weather like earlier, but now combined with being dark, Jensen still led from Andersen and Svanholt with Kragh having mounted a comeback to seventh - Jensen with a 33 second lead and no need to win, there was little doubt in the service park that he would go safe to a repeat of his championship from last year.
That would all change on stage 11, when Svanholt passed Jensen parked along the side of the road.. the engine had given up, and the championship was now blown wide open! Svanholt second and Kragh eighth (more problems on ss11), which meant that the championship would go into the final stage of the season TIED ON POINTS! Kragh had the tiebreaker, so the season would be decided by who went fastest on the final stage.. all to play for, and by now the entire exhibition hall containing the service park was buzzing! People calculating all over the place, phones and laptops checking live timing - and that's not even mentioning the rumour mill..
Svanholt was second car on the stage, and duly beat Andersen by 7,5 seconds, which sent even more buzz around the service park.. Andersen had been faster than Svanholt most of the day - was this a blistering time from Svanholt (he matched his time from earlier..) or slow from Andersen (17 seconds slower than the first run)? Buzz kept going, and every time that rolled in was significantly slower than both Svanholt and Andersen. The tension was as heavy as I have experienced in the last 10 years in Denmark, no-one bothered packing up their gear, it was all about the wait for Kragh who went something like tenth on the stage.
When the time rolled in - second fastest, 3,2 seconds slower than Svanholt! There were quiet cheers in the Svanholt camp, but also massive nervousness, the car still had to make it back. Once they did with no damage, they were met by a mob of people from more or less every team ready to congratulate them!
Both on the finishing ramp and at the prize giving ceremony later on, there were massive cheers and standing ovations for a hugely deserved championship - this was the only top driver to bring home points from every event this year.. and he beat the 'S2000 army' in an inferior Group N car. All in all, a highly talented driver with a very nice demeanor in an inferior car - this was the fairytale story!
Steen Andersen won the rally overall for his second win of the year, but it's safe to say that this was a forgotten win, everything was focused on the championship.
Post race, Ib Kragh was excluded for having been outside the time limit, which didn't change anything overall: He was a dejected second, and Christian Jensen an equally dejected third.
Gutted by the result in Denmark ;(
Great review from a very exiting rally, Christian.

Kajto in front of Baumschlager and Tarabus after SS6. Baumschlager seems to be getting old a little bit - and Kajto needs a R5 for 2014!
Kajto leads after day 1. Not bad! You should also know that Kajto had powersteering problem on day 1, so he couldn't drive as fast as he wanted :)
As far as I know the second day is on gravel, so who knows? Maybe everything will change?
Today was also on gravel. Here photos of Tarabus with car on gravel suspension and tyres: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 963&type=1
Baumschlager says he´s got a cold. He said that at Jänner, too - don´t know if it´s for real or he doesn´t want to admit getting beated in his home country ;)
