It was a very exciting week!
On Wednesday my Sponsor Kathrein confirmed the support for WRC so I can take part on the second last WRC-Event in Spain.
With this good news we did the recce of the 6th round of German Rally Championsship, the ADAC Saarland-Rallye. The special stages were a bit different from last year and sometimes really difficult. After the first day with two super special stages we led with just 0.4 seconds.
The "real" stages on Saturday where fast and slippery because of the dirty roads. We drove some besttimes and led on midday with 15 seconds. On the liaison it smelled like gearbox oil and then we could see that the Centerdifferential was broken. The mechanics changed it, but they needed two minutes more than allowed for the reparation. So we got a penalty of 20 seconds. Two stages later we were 2nd with 0,1 second behind the leader, Sandro Wallenwein, but the car was OK. On the last stages we pushed really hard and finally we won the rally.
Now we are leading the championsship with one point and there is just one rally left. The Lausitz rally is on gravel surface so I think we have a good chance for the fight for the title.
But now I'm concentrating on Rally Catalunya and Rally Bassano.
Greetings,
Hermann
