It doesn’t really matter if those penalties came from a SSS or SS chicane and I’m not even talking about German rallys. These chicane penalties madness is spreading all over the rally world and something has to be done to stop it.

Don't agree. The penalties must be in place because otherwise drivers tend to ignore the chicanes. As already pointed out the chicanes are not there for fun. They are safety features and as such they shall not be ignored. The whole story with chicanes can be taken more seriously than in WRC where the penalties are more or less random. It is possible to make a system like we have in our country. Here everybody understands why the system is in place and no penalty orgies happen.Quote:

I see now stage Weißensand with average speed over 140 km/h. Wow
Is that a Suzuki Swift S1600 being run as a safety car? at Sachsen Rally? Win to Rovanpera on dirt in places tarmac.

I see Griebel has had a few Skoda R5 drives, is the Peugeot T16 208 R5 inherently slower on tarmac compared to the Skoda R5?
YesQuote:

Griebel won his first DRM rally on the 208! Well done.

Second win in a row for Griebel and the 208! Apparently he's now leading the series with the same points as Dinkel.

Dinkel at same speed but lost a minute due to broken differential at his BRR Skoda.

One addition: Anders Grondal retired while lying in 4th position due to illness. Nothing really serious, just a bad flu it seems.
So Fabian Kreim (26 years old) better than Matthias Kahle (49 years old) in the German "generation clash" :)

I can see that on the photo that Christian Doerr, Kahle's co-driver, was also a sponsor of the event.
It is his home event, he is from that region and always big supporter of everyone there.Quote:

An alive organization-supplied anti-cut from Lausitz
Skoda Germany returns to German championship in 2019, most probably again with Kreim:

Fabian has nothing to show in Germany, he has bigger potential.
Who is not keen on doing German Championship again...Quote:

Very small number of entries so far.
Next Week-end is Saarland Pfalz Rallye, the first round of the german championship ;)

I was quite surprised french driver Benoît Vaillant is on the entrylist and according to a german motorsport website it seems he wants to run the entire championship with his C3 R5 :confused:
Good to see Hermann Gassner Junior with Hyundai i20 R5. He's a good driver.
http://www.autoklub.pl/news/foto/201...225_91313h.jpg
Results Saarland-Pfalz-Rallye, first run of German championship:
1. Kreim / Braun Skoda Fabia R5 1:22:31.6
2. Griebel / Kopczyk Skoda Fabia R5 +0:26.8
3. Gassner jr. / Mayrhofer Hyundai i20 R5 +1:51.5
4. Geipel / Becker Skoda Fabia R5 +3:39.6
5. Simpson / Gibson Skoda Fabia R5 +4:15.6
6. Vaillant / Brulé Citroën C3 R5 +5:44.4
And Eerik Pietarinen won the Adam Cup class, beating Grégoire Munster by a minute. Sad to see that beyond those two the entry was quite poor. All good things must come to an end I suppose!
Munster codriven by younger brother Charles for his very first time.
The next round with 8xR5, maybe 9x cars....
Sachsen Rallye was canceled after a fatal accident in SS1. Günter Kai, driver of Clio R3T No.42 died in the accident and his co-driver Sebastian Walker was injured.

Unfortunately, we've lost Sebastian Walker as well. I was lucky to meet this great sportsman. He and Kai will be missed in the German rally scene :(.
Wartburg Rally cancelled.

Fabian Kreim has become German Rally Champion 2019. Although he was disqualified in the last round this weekend, the 3-Stadte-Rallye.
Dinkel crashed out on the 7th stage. From the photos it looks like he is pretty deep into the trees, but Kreims onboard camera video showed clear trackmarks, a ripped of bumper next to road, and some bushes laying on the road. This was enough indication to stop to check if crew was OK, or not, so this lead to Kreims disqualification.
Kreim could keep his powerstage points, what finally crownd him champion, with 1 point lead to Gassner who eventually won the event.
The Dinkel crash was a big off for sure!

22. Internationale ADMV Lausitz Rallye is going to be held in eastern Germany on November 1-2. It's a round of Central Rally Trophy, Schotter Cup (Gravel Cup) and ADMV Rallye Meisterschaft. I saw this rally many times and can tell you that it's a nice laid back event in "interesting" landscapes :)
This year's entry list is quite good for German standards:
