1. Stohl (Evo 9 CNG)
2. Wittmann (Evo 9) +46,1
3. Rosenberger (Polo S2000) +48,8
4. Gassner (Evo 9) +3:08,8
5. Gavlák (Evo 9) +4:01,8
6. Mezaks (Evo 9) +4:41,8
7. Stengg (Evo 9) +5:09,8
8. Seibel (Evo 9) +5:46,2
9. Danzinger (Golf IV Kit Car CNG) +7:14,7
10. Pasteiner (Impreza N11) +11:35,4

Waldherr retired with engine problem, Gassner jr. also some mechanical problem

Was Baumschlager driving an Evo X?How did he do?

Yes, he was. Finaly the car had ALS and didn't seem to be slower than Evo IX. It was also a bit louder than IX. To tell the truth I can't judge how fast it is by sight but he retired from sixth place (I think) with probably broken turbo (he passed me on SS5 slowly on warning lights). His mechanics were working on the car even on saturday penultimate service but I don't know why. Maybe someone is interested in shock absorbers Mundl uses - Sachs. In my opinion Evo X seems to be faster than N14s I saw personaly.
