ADAC Rallye Deutschland 2015

my opinion is IF Citroen plan to be in WRC 2017 then I expect 2016 line up to be Loeb (part programme and development) Lefebrve and Lappi. No Citroen in 2017? The Meeke and Ostberg in 2016

if citroen plans to stay in the wrc for a few more years, i can see them attracting neuville.

And in the shadows of WRC drivers Emil Bergkvist has a comfortable lead in R2 class outpacing all others.

It's pity that Griebel had some problem in SS3. Untill that he was in front of Bergkvist. It could have been a nice fight but it ended too soon. With all respect the level of RC4 competitors on this event is nowhere near JERC. Let's see how he will do next week

For sure, but Emil´s doing what he should do. And already showed being ERC3 champion. At the same time showing his pace he seems to have mental qualities as well.

Best of the rest? No. Fastest, maybe, when staying on the road.

This.

The best out of the rest at the moment is Mads Ostberg. Which is a bit sad since we're talking about a driver who have reached his top for the reasons already mentioned.

I'm really disappointed with Abbring so far TBH. We can't count the first loop since he had differential problems there, but the second loop hasn't been that impressive either. He seems to struggle with the car and setup. Let's hope he can improve tomorrow and Sunday. In theory he should be at least as fast as Lefebvre, who really surprised me today!

Although I'm of course pleased I'm also quite surprised how easily Kopecký today destroyed the competition in WRC2. Winning all stages and having nearly 1,5 minute lead after day one looks near ridiculous. Also considering his last Rally Germany was 2007 (I know he was extremely fast there already back then).

I completely agree, but I think the level in WRC2 isn't that high as some people think. The level in the ERC, especially in classic rallies like Ypres and Barum, is in my opinion higher than in WRC2. I also think that Kopecký is one of the most underrating drivers, especially on asphalt. He is very fast and he almost never makes mistakes. I never understood why he didn't had a chance in a factory WRC car in the WRC.
