It's good thing for spectators but it's definitely wrong thing from sporting point of view. You can never make competition better by abandoning equal rules for everybody and go for a set of rules where each driver on top of the leaderboad may use car built and run according to different regulations. Baumschlager is an old man and if younger guys are not able to defeat him in a straight fight using cars under same regulations than it says quite a lot about them and their skills.

Until now there is no final announcement of the regulations 2016. Best is to wait and see what is officially announced at the end of october / beginning of november. With no Jänner Rallye in 2016, the winter break is 2.5 months longer until first round at Rebenland Rallye (March 18th - 19th).

You will see what it brings. As You may know we have here in CZ old WRC cars allowed. It definitely made the events nicer for spectators but on the other hand I think that it brought on top a lot of rich gentleman drivers while there is nobody young and promising using WRC car.

It´s not (only) about skills, it´s more about economy and budget in my opinion. Baumschlager was the only driver, who has been able to build a business around rallying, and even this was a work of years. So now he´s the only one who can afford a structure similar to a works team, with big potent sponsors like Skoda Austria, Red Bull and Remus behind him.
Except for Grössing, I don´t think anyone could afford a WRC-car in Austria. Even Neubauer has to deal with an old Fiesta S2000, who is already rather prone to technical failures.

Can't see how admitting cars twice more expensive than R5 can solve that.
When I saw Neubauer's car during Barum I was thinking that it really didn't look well. It looked worn and used a lot. You could see they had lack of money on other things too. For example the box for spare parts was all rusty.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

After Jänner Rallye also Waldviertel Rallye, Austria´s other big rally, part of ERT, seems in jeopardy. Organizer Helmut Schöpf wrote in an Austrian rally forum, that he didn´t register Waldviertel Rallye 2016 neither at FIA nor at Austrian motorsport organization OSK.

Austrian rally calendar 2016, definitely without Waldviertel Rallye. So both international Austrian rallies are gone:

Forecast for Amarante is a rain or a storm at 16 o clock.. It isnt lying, big clouds raising here.. So it is a chance of rain
