Maybe our Austrian friends can write more about rules change which happened during the season and because of which few crews stopped driving? Is it true some crews were cheating with modifying standard fuel and federation was unable to control it so they allowed racing fuel?
Looks like it's true, according to what I read in a Neubauer press release. Now it was turn of Hermann Neubauer say no to the championship.
NO - a nice fairy tale.Quote:

Google translation to english should be still understandable.
Short summary: Before season several teams requested to use standard gas station fuel (100 octane) for the ORM 2015.
As it turned out standard gas station fuel labeled as 100 octane can have quite deviations and has mostly higher octane numbers.
As the controlling is so quite useless and due resulting problems with the engine mappings the decision is revoked.
From now on like before standard FIA Racing fuel is allowed again.
Neubauer complains about rules changes during the season at short notice before the next round, about costs for the needed new mapping etc.
Neubauer also complained about this short decision just a few days before next run of Austrian championshipt this weekend (Wechselland Rallye), when he already ordered fuel for it. He´retiring from Austrian championship for the moment.
Also his team leader Max Zellhofer is retiring from championship.
For google translate: http://www.motorline.cc/rallye/oem/2...nd-196133.html
On the other hand much criticised chief of national Austrian motorsport organization OSK, Dietmar Hinteregger, finally retired yesterday - and I believe this was truly necessary.
Austrian championship get´s some kind of ridiculous now - a good driver with a Fabia R5 against some old Mitsubishi EVO´s and 2WD cars.
No more Neubauer, Danzinger, Aigner, Saibel, Mayer, Brugger, no more Stohl racing in rallying - a shame :-(
Austrian Forum says sudden change of rules regarding racing fuel is because of Baumschlager´s Fabia R5, which needs racing fuel for going to the max. This is said by Neubauer´s Team ZM Motorsport in a local newspaper.
Other sources say Red Bull (main Sponsor of Baumschlager) was urging OSK to change fuel rules back to old regulations at presentation of F1 Red Bull Team in Vienna recently.
Now Baumschlager can fight with EVO VII-Mitsu´s and R2/R3 class cars ...
That's very weird statement. Every racing engine needs racing fuel to get to the maximum. Even with Evo IX the difference between proper 102 octane racing fuel and stock "Shell V-Power Racing" is around 20 Hp according to a dyno chart I saw few years back.
The problem with real racing engines (S2000, S1600, RRC, R5 etc.) is that with the stock fuel the octane number and exact chemical properties are not guaranteed. Stock engines and their ECUs can cope with variable fuel quality but it's much bigger problem for racing engines. You can not make a laboratory analysis and new mapping for every petrol pump on the road. It's not only about lower power.
There is also a risk of engine damage. For example if You take a petrol on the pump in time when it is being supplied from tanker you get some water into Your tank. There is always water on the bottom of the tanks of petrol pumps unlike in the barrels of racing fuel. When You start filling the tank from tanker You whirl the water which is normally sitting down and it gets in the fuel.
Another point is what Hari stated. How can You say what is a breach of the rule when the stock fuel doesn't have guaranteed properties. How can You check that? Such rule simply doesn't make sense unless there is a single fuel supplier for everybody.
All in all throwing mud on Baumschlager is senseless.

I just mentioned what is written in motorline.cc Forum and didn´t bring my personal opinion.
Even if I don´t like him as a Driver and not being a fan of him it is even clear for me that he didn´t want the actual situation to evolve.
How did Baumschlager compare to Neubauer last year? So that we can judge performance of Fabia R5 this weekend..

Final results Wechselland Rallye 2015:
01. Raimund Baumschlager/Pirmin Winklhofer (A/D, Skoda Fabia R5) 1:27:59,4 Stunden
02. Michael Böhm/Katrin Becker (A/A, Suzuki Swift Super 1600) +2:07,2 Minuten
03. Daniel Wollinger/Bernhard Holzer (A/A, Opel Adam R2) +3:04,6
04. Kristof Klausz/Balazs Kecskemeti (H/H, Renault Clio R3) +4:41,4
05. Robert Zitta/Peter Stemp (A/A, Subaru Impreza WRX STI N14) +5:23,5
06. Martin Kalteis/Günter Lang (A/A, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII) +6:33,5
In the last special stage over 25km Baumschlager had a puncture in the front which damaged also the brake.
He lost quite some time, but as also the second placed Martin Kalteis lost some minutes due an off, the margin to finally second placed Michael Böhm was big enough to score the first win in the Skoda Fabia R5.
Despite the known problems before the event, it was a nice rally with lots of spectators.
Next austrian round: Schneebergland Rallye, June 26th-27th

This result doesn't really tell us anything about the speed of the car but at least it reached the finish without technical problems.

Seeing the superiority in comparison to Fabia S2000 (power, torque) when Raimund was attacking in the Pre Event Test on Thursday - I have no more doubts about the speed - huge improvement compared to the S2000.Quote:

Was this the first round of the DRM this year?
I'm just curious as to how we would normally expect Kreim to perform vs. someone like Wiegand so we can judge more about the difference between S2000 and R5.
I think it is 3rd round. Lets hope though this is not just one off for Wiegand this yearQuote:
