I dont agree with Ucci too. Completely snow Janner Rallye is really beautiful, on the other hand fully tarmac rally is boring and very fast.Quote:

...and YES Jänner Rallye is spectacular ALSO on Tarmac, but I would prefer Snow...but anyway, the drivers have to deal with it, after seen a few test sessions and sit beside Andi Aigner in Peugeot 207 S2000 i can say Tarmac in Jannuary IS very very difficult and spectacular, but also can be dangerous because of the high speeds!
I´m looking forward to an exiting season start in upper austria, wish everybody here a Happy New Year and hope to see some of you in Freistadt later this week ;)

@WRC1: nice pictures!
Some hints for non locals if going directly to Freistadt (service park, media center, qualifying stage) or to SS 3/6 from Linz: because of a motorway construction there´s heavy traffic south of Freistadt even without a rally. So expect to loose some time from Neumarkt to Center of Freistadt (about 20-30 min for 10 km). For going to SS 3/6 one could also go by Kefermarkt - Lasberg - St. Oswald bypassing Freistadt.
GOOD TIP! THX WUFF1 !!!Quote:

I wouldn't say that a fully Jänner Rallye on tarmac is completley boring. Some stages like Pregarten or Liebenau are really not perfect for a tarmac rally as the are too fast. But on the other hand you have really beautiful stages like Pierbach which is very twisty and is going up- and downhill all the time. Also Unterweissenbach or the Aisttal Stage are very beautiful.Quote:

Yes, bad News. I´d rated him in Top Ten as in the last years.
There was also chance, that if he will not find budget for R5 and there will be snow, he should use his older Evo IX. But as there is no snow there is no sense to do this "B plan"...Quote:

Is this year will be live coverage on Eurosport??

- what do you think about combining stages 1/4 with stages 3/6 (St.Ostwald)-I would use local road Bad Zell-Gutau-St.Oswald and reverse.
The start of stage 1 is directly next to the main road (B 124). But parking is not that easy there, because parking at the side of the main road is forbidden. Combination of stage 1 and 3 is possible easily. You can watch at least the first 30 cars before leaving to stage 3.
You can use this road. There are some communal roads where you would be faster, but I wouldn't recomend you to use these roads without local knowledge.
Fiat131Abarth was first, but he´s a local guy too ;)
Parking at the main roads is not possible, but there should be some parking area provided by the local communities for spectators, at every stage. You´ll be directed there by local firefighter troops or stewards.

I can't find Rally Guide 2....
What do you mean with Rally Guide 2?
5 drivers (including Consani and Odlozilik) were fined because of speeding in recce.
Does anybody which drivers except Valousek and Mifka won't start the rally?
Yes, speeding seems to be hip at this years Jänner recce ;)

Baumschlager said that due to lack of snow it is going to be the fastest Janner Rally that he has ever driven.
There were completely dry editions in the past ;) On the other hand the cars are getting faster every year so he might be right.Quote:

Slightly freezing here in Freistadt (-5°C; -2°C in Bad Zell).
Results of free practice and qualify: http://rally-base.com/2014/31-int-janne ... 6&cupId=36
Nice weather here in Upper Austria.
Summary of practice and qualifying: Suprised by Harrach´s performance, but expected more of Aigner. Good times of Consani.
