And what happened to all the Swedes after Stig Blomqvist? Kenneth Eriksson, Micael Ericsson and Thomas Rådström had some pace in the 90's but not really world champion level (yes I know Eriksson won group A championship in 1986) but since then, what, P-G Andersson stuck in a Suzuki going nowhere? At least they have now a future star with Tidemand.Quote:

There used to be different level rally passes for Rally Germany, but now it's just one rally pass that covers access to all. For parking you have to pay extra each time accessing the parking area, but it's traditionally only one euro for each time.Quote:

Many questions to answer tonight, one being what's after #RallyPoland for us with @CitroenRacing.... That would be #RallyGermany! #WRC
The ADAC really did a nice job on the spectator viewing points map (https://www.adac-rallye-deutschland....170620_web.pdf). Does anybody know if the areas not designated as official spectator sites are off-limits? Most of the sites seem very good, but there are one or two where I'd like to do something different.
Ostberg with R5 in germany https://www.rallye-magazin.de/wrc/ar...t-wrc2-spitze/
He skipped Corsica because he could not get tarmac suspension nor test it in time. Also Prokop's mention of difficulties running the 2017 car come to mind...Quote:

I've only been once before, but from my limited experience it's definitely possible to find alternative access routes or move out of the official spectator areas in the vineyard stages - but not possible in the Panzerplatte I don't think, because it is military land (although I'd be interested in hearing otherwise!).Quote:

Also in 2010 or 2012 went to a non-listed area. Wanted to be near the start but the big paper map started about mid-stage for some reason. The walk to the stage was quite a long one.
I struggled with the google translate and my high school German isn't upto the job. What was his justification for doing a surface that he is somewhat average on, at a round that is compulsory for WRC2 competitors, so he will be up against the fastest WRC2 drivers of the year...? I feel this might be an opportunity to get beaten badly by some Skoda drivers and I can't see how he can gain from that? Especially if he gets beaten by Camilli too?Quote:

If Østberg wants prepare 2018 for real, he needs tarmac competition. Hope he start with the beast.
in english about Mads, it isnt 100% sure yet http://www.rallysportmag.com.au/home...ye-deutschland
Thanks Martijn - had spotted several promising looking access points but with it being military land I expected these would be blocked by locked gates or soldiers. I might make some more explorations!Quote:

Google Earth Map Wrc Deutschland Rallye 2017 is online → http://bit.ly/2kn6avq
Last year Kreim was pretty anonymous, let's see if he has developed.Quote:

Does anyone know when information about the gap between start times on a stage will be available? I would like to get video of the first twenty on as many stages as possible, which will make the travel time between stages critical. If the cars go off at 2 min. intervals, that would be great; if at 3 min. intervals, might have to miss some.
Has anyone ordered tickets online for the rally from the webshop? None of the postage options talked about delivering to the UK but I figured it would be okay as it worked great back in 2015. Sort of figured I'd have had them by now.
Yes, I've ordered off the website and also checked with etix that they would definitely be mailed to the UK (the ADAC site says something about print at home tickets) - and they confirmed that the tickets would be posted. Just got to cross fingers that they arrive on time now!

He had it in his program all along, as it's a mandatory round in WRC2.Quote:

I don't see any big surprises.
Huttunen in Opel Adam, same for T. Molinaro (Breen's girlfriend ).
Will be quite interesting duel in R5s with Østberg, Camilli and Suninen in same cars.
