Kreim is definitely No. 1 in German rally championship, Riedemann with no chance at all.
Ostberg dissapointing as in WRC.

Pity Wiegand doesn't drive regularly anymore.

Of course, think also about the fact: works Fabia compare to private P208.....the times when Pug was equal to Fabia already gone....
With all the resorses, works backup, rallyes done....is Kreim for me just an average driver...old Baumschlager is a "doctor" for him....Ostberg was always "nobody" on tarmac....even local drivers can be faster than him.

It's not works car.
Kreim is in his only second 4WD season in his life. I think that You are too critical to him. There aren't many drivers who can start winning regularly right from the beginning. He is still at the start of his career.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

About Fabian Kreim: he has the luck Skoda Germany invest a lot in him; he drives in 2016 the German championship, the Asian-Pacific rounds, already 2 rounds in Czech from one of them was the Barum ERC round and also the German WRC round. And when the competition is strong (WRC & ERC) you can clearly see he has still a long way to go to reach the top.
Skoda gives him also a semi-factory car and that's why he's a bit faster (on the straights) against a privat driver like Riedemann. I think Riedemann (and Aaron Burkhart) are the most talented drivers in Germany. Sepp Wiegand was also nothing special, like Kreim a lot of rally's and support but in the end it was clear he wouldn't make it to the (even the ERC) top.

Wiegand had good speed in his last ERC season and what is important he didn't reach his performance peak. You can go event by event through his international starts and You can find reasonable progress everywhere until Škoda kicked him out. Frankly for me it's a bit sad story as he had 5 podiums and only one accident in ERC in 2014 out of 8 starts and till the last event he was in the fight for the title against Lappi. Seriously I can't see how somebody could expect more when he had no podium at all in 2013 but obviously it wasn't enough...
