Any Forum Guys going to Austria? Thoughts on winners! Long range weather forecast is changeable, the Rain has added a different element to the ERC so far this year.

Wouldnt get me there on principal, the round there that wrote off Eklunds car was a disgrace.

If other countres are turned away yet a country that runs a round that is so poorly run and marshalled, I would never consider going there.

Runs form many yeras ago when a lot of drivers vowed they would never go there again, I can see why.

Yeah nasty incident poor Jussi never really the same after that, wonder if that was one of the reasons why he took a step back and now runs his very successful team. 2009 it was but I think there have been a number of changes to allow it to be still held.

Wasn't that at Melk though? Greinbach is a different kettle of fish, I think.

It's the first round of the GRX at Charlotte, that's why Foust is missing. By the way, wasn't Doran running the full GRX too?

[Hickey]

Pretty sure that I read that Doran was missing the first round at Charlotte but doing the X Games instead of Holjes.

[chunder]

I think Greinbach is better, flat track i recall.

Melk was very poorly run and the dust was awful, reason for the huge accident.

There was a comment on Facebook (from Amy Doran) shortly after the GRC driver list was published (on the ESPN site) indicating that Liam wouldn't be at Charlotte, so I'd say thats pretty definatel.

Good chance to get a high score in whilst Foust is elsewhere!

Just imagine if Kev Procter could somehow win in Austria as well, come on Kev.

Like to think with the current high Kev and the team will be on a place in the A final is a good possibility! Don't know what's going on with Andy after seeing the Focus on Rallycross.com for sale? Either to fund the GRC side of the team or maybe he sees potential with the second Saab,although personally the Saab is **** even with Toppis skills momentous drives were needed to get results.
Austria I'm hoping will see young Matts have a turnaround in fortune but the battle could be between Liam and Timor.

Accident munnich, pinomaki, eklund was at melk. Erc this year is at greinbach (same as last year). Completely different track. Much better!

Foust use Austria and sweden as dropscore. Very simple he don't start at these events. So france was a bad result but he use the points.

Hope for Heikinnen in belgium and holland ( no GRC and he will do at least Finland )

Scott has his focus for sale.... Bu he said he wil drive belgium and holland...
Maybe in saab when focus is sold?
