Short visit for Manfred Stohl at the Rally Longyou
10/2015 - Drop Out for vienna Rally champion Manfred Stohl and his copilot Bernhard Ettel during SS 2 / Rain was the main interference factor
This was Austria's rally ace Manfred Stohl's third on duty visit this year in China. After Rally Zhangye in July and the Rally Henan Dengfang in September Manfred was facing Rally Longyou in October this year, which is part of the Chinese Championship and the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship. First of all: The Rally Longyou was def. not a "long" rally - on the contrary : After a spectacular start the ex world champion and his copilot moved up to second place right behind the leading australian driver Chris Atkinson. It all ended abruptly during SS 2. "I turned into a left corner to harsh, unfortunately with fatal consequences" Stohl discribed the mishap. Their Citroen DS3 R5 broke down with a ripped out front wheel and a broken steering problem.
