    The rally Waldviertel, the traditional season-end of the Austrian Rally Championship, every year is a major challenge for teams and cars, but this year it was particularly difficult. Responsible for: Extreme weather conditions that brought rain, fog and even snow in the forest area. Accordingly, hard were the conditions on the special stages: mud, water crossings and deep ruts made the drivers a hard time, more than a third of all competing teams not crossed the finish line - even three Opel teams were involved: The fixed as champion Daniel Wollinger slipped over an embankment and came by itself no longer return to the track, but his car remained virtually undamaged. 

    Worse, it caught two other duos: Koni Friesenegger rolled over on the first day, repaired the car, drove the second day continued - and rolled over again, but much more intense. Koni and his co Christoph case remained unhurt but thank God, like Daniel and his co Zieser Christoph Woegerer that were stuck with its Corsa OPC between two trees. Thus, a sovereign propelled Wolfram Doberer brought with gecastetem copilot Josef Hauer for the first time this season the Cup win and the vice-title in the overall standings - especially given his favorite rally, Lower Austria is still a renowned gravel specialist.

He had to win in order to postpone the decision on the Cup overall title still up to the end of October can Waldviertel Rally. 

    Accordingly, the Eisner Car Rally Team pilot "attack from the first meter of" promised - which he implemented then: On the first special stage he was only 1.1 seconds behind Daniel Wollinger, this time, incidentally, was traveling with Walter Pfaff Huemer co. The "hundredth battle" which had marked the two runs in Weiz and Admont, seemed to go on so. 

    The drumbeat was then already on special stage two: Leitgeb caught in a braking zone a few bumps and slid with locked wheels into the undergrowth. 
     
    The Opel Corsa OPC was almost completely undamaged, but at the point no spectators, who would liberate the unfortunate Leitgeb and his co-driver Sabrina Hartenberger from the awkward position were you. Thus, the preliminary decision was: Should Daniel Wollinger the goal of autumn rally - no matter in which position - reach, he would cup winner. And that's what the young man succeeded in Styria sovereign. He finished fourth out of five Cup victories, went on overall rank 11 and chose to prematurely Opel Corsa OPC Rally Cup Champion. Second place was more than deserved to Koni and Christoph Friesenegger who, thanks to the tireless efforts of their "Opel Hojas Rally Team NOE" to the ARBÖ rally badly battered Corsa get fit in time - a great success for the duo of Lower Austria, the so best local heroes were.

With the all-new car for him, he achieved remarkable SP times and made a promise for the future: If he can muster the necessary budget, you can see him maybe this year again, otherwise he is aiming to participate in one cup 2013. Fourth place in the Cup itself was taken by Gerhard and Romana Dworak (Remus Racing): Despite problems with the engine power, the duo collected from Lower Austria important points for the Cup standings. The next round of the Opel Corsa OPC Rallye Cup will be held in two weeks - at the October rally Leiben, the final race of the ARC (Austrian Rallye Challenge).

    The voices of the pilots in the finish:

    Daniel Wollinger: "I'm very, very happy. That was a great rally of mine, a big thanks to my team who prepared the car perfectly. It was very tight in the fight with Christoph, which shows that the cars are absolutely equivalent. In summary, we are now clearly ahead, but we must continue to focus. "

    Christoph Leitgeb: "It is perhaps an advantage if the tests here a little better known. But I will not be satisfied, we went really fast, it has at the end, unfortunately, was not enough. Now we just have to engage fully in Leiben and the forest district - nothing is decided yet!"

    Wolfram Doberer: "So a tactical rally here as I've never driven. I'm sorry for Daniel (Zieser, note), but I somehow had the feeling that he was not this fast pace can go over the whole distance. Third place in the Cup is great for us, a thanks to my co-pilot casting, which has done great! "

    Nikolas Ziesler: "We are happy that we managed good debut. From a small scare yesterday apart everything worked great. Of course there are some things I would like to have specific to me, but this is just no time in the rally. We now look if we bring together a budget, then we will continue this year, otherwise we will focus on the next season "

    Gerhard Dworak: "The result is okay, but we had all day today, no power. With my trip, I was really happy, but without power just goes nothing. I hope my boys will find in the next two weeks leading up to the rally Leiben mistake, because at my home event I want to be prepared. "
