Neubauer very clean, he clearly controls the field, there are reserves obviosly. He said in case his opponents will upgrade (obviosly talking about Baumschlager) he has 2 upgrade stages for his Fiesta in spare.
Nice surprise for me is Griebel, he adopt quickly to the very technical stages in Rebenland and was faster in the night stages than old Fox Baumschlager.
Mayr-Melnhof seems to try a cleaner style this year, but not so fast yet, no mistakes so far though...
Was SS12 canceled?
Anyway Neubauer out with technical problems. Now a tight battle between Grössing and Baumschlager but Griebel set a stuning time on SS13 and who knows, maybe he can get close as well.
Sierra Morena till ss8

Griebel out with technical problems, 1,5 seconds between Grössing and Baumschlager before the last stage.
Sierra Morena in finish:
1. García Christian (Fiesta R5) 2:00:36,1
2. Pernía (i20 R5) +8,7
3. Áres (i20 R5) +29,0
4. Burgo (Fabia R5) +1:41,6
5. Vallejo (DS3 R5) +2:09,3
6. Vinyes (Swift N5) +3:38,3
7. Aznar (997 GT3) +6:20,9
8. García Cristobal (Fiesta R5) +6:42,9
9. Díaz (Swift S1600) +7:20,7
10. Léal (Fiesta R2) +9:17,9
And Baumschlager wins it once again! He is 14 seconds faster than Grossing after the last stage. Now he can only laugh at the untalented drivers of the WRC cars. Congratulations!Quote:

Baumschlager won powerstage and rebenland rallye....grössing false start and 10sec penalty...neubauer ripped a wheel off...

Congrats to Baumschlager for winning Austrian championship 2017 - with Polo WRC serviced by VW Motorsport no one has a chance against him.Quote:

I can see different results on rallytiming.nl. What is right? There Kobus won ahead of Riedemann and Van den Heuvels.

1 min penalty for vd Heuvel. Checked in too early at some time control.

Nice weekend for the sport. Just like WRC and ERC, rally series around Europe are really worthy to follow this year!
Yes, indeed. I have the impression that something has improved in the rally world this year. The beginning of the year seems promising.Quote:

Facts:
1. Despite being used by more than a dozen different drivers since 2008, only 3 drivers were able to win Spanish championship (CERA) events on a 911: Vallejo (20), Fuster (13) and Ares (3).
2. Fuster was 3 times CERA champion on a 911 (’11, ’12 and ’15), Vallejo twice (’09 and ’14).
3. Prior to his titles on a 911, Fuster was champion on a FWD car (Saxo KC in ’03) and on a 4WD car (Punto S2000 in ’07). His CERA’s rally winning score is one of the best in the series history.
4. In 2014 Fuster entered the CERA on a Fiesta R5. He managed to win 4 rallies, the same number Vallejo won on his 911, and fight for the title till the last rally.
5. He returned to a 911 in 2015 because he wasn’t able to get a full budget to run a R5 car (R5’s were 25% to 40% more expensive to run than a 911 on a CERA season).
6. All Vallejo CERA’s wins were in 911’s, the car he drove from 2008 to 2014. Still, a few years back he was also a top contender on FWD KC1600/S1600 cars, managing to become an official driver for FIAT and Renault importers teams.
7. Despite some events on S2000 cars and last season on a DS3 R5, Vallejo was never able to fight for a win on a CERA rally with a 4WD car.
8. Ares was the CERA revelation in 2015. He managed to win 3 events on a 911 against Fuster, Vallejo and all the other 911 drivers.
9. Last year, on his 3dr outing in a R5 car, he won CERA’s Rally Princesa de Asturias using a Fabia.
10. On this weekend Rallye Sierra Morena he used a i20 R5 and was, alongside Garcia and Pernia, one of the drivers fighting for the win.
11. Burgo never won any CERA rally on a 911. He was slower than top 911 drivers during past seasons and he managed to become vice champion last year, one of the most atypical CERA’s rally seasons ever, using also other cars (208T16 and Lancer N+). His best CERA results were in on his Lancer Gr.N or N+ days (several time Gr. N champion and 2 overall rally wins).
I hope the data (easily checked on eWRC fantastic site) will make you realize that top 911 drivers results on spanish championship (like also in other countries) shouldn’t be judged lightly. Besides not being easy to win in a 911 (remember, in 9 years only 3 guys did it), Fuster and Ares examples clearly show that 911’s top drivers can also win on other cars and even Vallejo unexplained lack of speed on 4wd cars doesn’t hurt his amazing achievements during 911’s CERA era.

You might find the answer when answering what car is he driving, I guess.Quote:

where did I said it?Quote:

That's why I didn't like this situation last year,a situation that some guys here cant understand,or they pretend that they haven't understand.
You just did it. I was just making assumption he is not comfortable with DS3 R5, (in fact who was?), and it is perceived as an excuse? Excuse for what? What is his ambition? What is his budget? What he wants to do on international level? Excuse for what exactly?Quote:

The truth is that now he hasn't got the power advantage,and best drivers win or are close for a win.
