I was spectating (managed to see four stages) this event, we were lucky with the weather. Gassner junior is more than deserved winner, he was constantly the fastest, even from the eye of spectators....it is nice to see a top-driver in N4 car, because those cars are still very attractive (a lot of sliding), but if all fast drivers are behind the steering wheel of S2000 & R5&RRC cars, then N4&R4 group is unattractive for spectators.
The fastest local driver, no surprise ofcourse-Alex Humar With Clio R3. And again very fast, attractive driving of Rok Turk with a tiny P208 R2, second place for our championship.
Bigggest disappointment : turkish driver Avci. He looked kind of ''lost'' on the stages...More than two minutes behind winner is something not to be proud of it....with Mini RRC...

Here is my video from Rally Saturnus:

It was my first time there and I was impressed by the great stages. Also a thing that I guess is unique is the service park in the parking place below the stadium and the SS1 which starts inside there. That offers a great sound when you are inside there (especially the Porsche from Thull was really loud). The sunny weather also made it great with the dust in the gravel sections ;-)

I agree. The location is great and the sound is just amazing.

Fredrik Ahlin participated on some rally 17th May? with 2wd car?

Katxal-thanks for sharing with us your photos, always welcome....I'm again positively surprised over Vallejo's brothers pace; not that they are regulary faster than N4&R4 and S2000 cars, they were (if I'm not mistaken..) already second time faster than Miguel Fuster with Fiesta R5 !! And by the way, Fuster is not ''somebody from yesterday''....
Deep respect for 911 crew !!

Does anyone have any links to English summary of Hyundais first win in France? The organisers website is mostly in French, which I don't understand!

Interesting, was it a case of just tyres, or did Bryan actually handle the conditions better? Seems the two of them were clearly in a different league from the rest of the field?

Here is my video from last weekends Jacques Lemans Rallyeweekend in Austria:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxrR7cCyaro

I tried some things with the GoPro for the first time with 120fps, looks really good I think ;-)

It was two rallies in one, Yiippi Sprintrally on Friday and Kärnten Rally on Saturday. Kramer also won the Saturday event, but got disqualified after the race. Impressive was Günther Knobloch with a 3rd place and a stage win in his first rally. Unfortunately he had a technical problem on Saturday morning. For me as spectator it was a great event, as I could see 4 stages completely each day.

1st Rally Stereas Ellados (28-29 June) is the 3rd round of Greek championship. The rally takes place in the region of Itea, in the beloved SS, Bauxites and Drossohori, known from older Acropolis rallies. Entries opened yesterday and will close the 20th of June. All the greek crews that are battling for the title will start in the rally, as long as some Cypriot guys. A surprise driver will make his come back in this rally with a "surprise" car! Will keep you informed!

Seeing as the naming sponsor of the rally is competing (Brian Madsen is the local area Peugeot dealer and he's the sponsor, not Peugeot Denmark), I'd say he should have the incentive more so than Christian. :-)
Brian is entered in the same Friulmotor 207 S2000 that he won the championship in, so all he lacks is recent driving experience. This year he has done one heat without power steering at a rallysprint in his 306 Maxi, that's all.

As an info, the event has 55 entries, which is around double what any other championship event has had this year. As a board member of the organising club, I'm very happy! It should be a great event, plenty of stage kilometres and a worthy lone representative for rallying east of Jutland this year.
I'll be at the service park both Friday for shakedown and Saturday for the race, hope to update here if anything major were to happen.

Enjoy the footage!

Despite of its great gravel stages, the demanding Schneebergland Rallye always had small entries.

The named drivers was missing due to various reasons: Neubauer (injury), Brugger (final school exams), Saibel (asphalt preference),...

But be sure for the next round Rallye Weiz (August 8th-9th) there will be a quality and quantity lineup as in the earlier 2014 events.

Next event: Rallye Weiz, www.rallye-weiz.at

Neubauer entered, but is still injured. Brugger does just some rallies, not the whole championship. Danzinger on Stohl´s 207 S2000 seemed to be just a one off, last weekend Delecour was competing with this car on Rally Transsilvania, Romanian championship.

Christian does have the faster car, and seemed to have the edge all day.
There were a lot of retirements, but very few accidents, which is of course a good thing.
We did however have a massive crash during the shakedown event Friday night, both driver and his passenger (a sponsor) were kept overnight, but released Saturday with no major injuries. The car (306 Maxi) supposedly is a write-off, but the driver has vowed to rebuild it patiently.

Brian had an issue with the fuel supply about 500 metres from the end of stage 9. Haven't heard anything official from him, but unconfirmed rumours said 'no fuel = no fuel supply', but I am in no way sure that is true. Fact is, it went no further.

All in all, it was a good day, some very challenging stages combined with a lot of speed, plenty of spectators on the stages to watch the cars - and we had the mayor out to do a ceremonial start in the city centre.. between service 1 and stage 4. :D

Kim Madsen was excluded post-race for an engine non-conformity, but that has since been rescinded, as the method of measuring was apparently not applicable to the geometry of the 208 R2 engine.

Championshipwise, it's in Ibs hands, he just needs to finish second in the rallies and on the points-paying stage, then he's champion. Realistically, it's Ib's to lose, Christian Jensen as the biggest contender, and Tim Svanholt ready to pounce if the other two have issues.. like he won it last year. The rest are basically gone.
Kenneth Madsen will win Tuned National for the third year running in the same car unless all hell breaks loose, only the much-improved Jesper Troels-Smith in the not-so-flash-for-rallying Peugeot RCZ has a mathematical chance.
Kim Madsen took the lead in 2WD by winning, 6 points ahead of Klaus Hammer, with Jacob Jensen in a 208 a further 9 point behind. Should be interesting, as Hammer has a much faster car, but Kim (and Jacob) are better drivers, especially since Hammer still is not comfortably after his massive crash last year.
Kasper Nyman should win Standard National, and that's all that needs to be said about that division.

Next round is in Odder, just south of the second-largest city Aarhus.
It's not until September 6th, and is supposedly going to be a 'test-event' for a proposed format change for the Danish championship, which would allow drivers to show up Saturday morning for recce and go home Saturday night with trophies. Not sure if I'm a fan, personally, but it should be interesting to see.
Long summer holiday now, so plenty of time to fix the broken cars! :)

Thanks ChristianArp for this report ;)
