Maybe our Austrian friends can write more about rules change which happened during the season and because of which few crews stopped driving? Is it true some crews were cheating with modifying standard fuel and federation was unable to control it so they allowed racing fuel?

Looks like it's true, according to what I read in a Neubauer press release. Now it was turn of Hermann Neubauer say no to the championship.

NO - a nice fairy tale.

Google translation to english should be still understandable.

Short summary: Before season several teams requested to use standard gas station fuel (100 octane) for the ORM 2015.
As it turned out standard gas station fuel labeled as 100 octane can have quite deviations and has mostly higher octane numbers.
As the controlling is so quite useless and due resulting problems with the engine mappings the decision is revoked.
From now on like before standard FIA Racing fuel is allowed again.

Neubauer complains about rules changes during the season at short notice before the next round, about costs for the needed new mapping etc.

Neubauer also complained about this short decision just a few days before next run of Austrian championshipt this weekend (Wechselland Rallye), when he already ordered fuel for it. He´retiring from Austrian championship for the moment.
Also his team leader Max Zellhofer is retiring from championship.

On the other hand much criticised chief of national Austrian motorsport organization OSK, Dietmar Hinteregger, finally retired yesterday - and I believe this was truly necessary.

Austrian championship get´s some kind of ridiculous now - a good driver with a Fabia R5 against some old Mitsubishi EVO´s and 2WD cars.

No more Neubauer, Danzinger, Aigner, Saibel, Mayer, Brugger, no more Stohl racing in rallying - a shame :-(

Austrian Forum says sudden change of rules regarding racing fuel is because of Baumschlager´s Fabia R5, which needs racing fuel for going to the max. This is said by Neubauer´s Team ZM Motorsport in a local newspaper.

Other sources say Red Bull (main Sponsor of Baumschlager) was urging OSK to change fuel rules back to old regulations at presentation of F1 Red Bull Team in Vienna recently.

Now Baumschlager can fight with EVO VII-Mitsu´s and R2/R3 class cars ...
