  • The MICHELIN Pilot Sport H5 and S6 Ready for Rallye Deutschland's
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2019 FIA World Rally Championship Round 10/14: ADAC Rallye Deutschland The MICHELIN Pilot Sport H5 and S6 ready for Rallye Deutschland’s challenging cocktail of asphalt and concrete stages Although the majority of the rounds that make up the calendar of the 2019 FIA World Rally Championship take place on gravel, the year’s asphalt fixtures counts amongst the sport’s most iconic competitions, including the wintry Rallye Monte-Carlo and France’s Tour de Corse which, this year, was held at the end of March. This week, Round 10 takes competitors to Germany for the campaign’s third sealed-surface rally which is famous for its mix of asphalt and abrasive concrete roads that pose an additional challenge for tyres. The stages themselves vary from narrow vineyard lanes and tracks over army ranges which features numerous changes of surface, to smoother, fast, flowing country roads. Rain is frequently a factor that the teams and crews need to take into account. Although the overall length of the 2019 Rallye Deutschland has been shortened slightly from 1,221.89 to 1,160.35 kilometres compared with 12 months ago, the total competitive distance has increased from 325.76km to 343.95km, while the menu includes 19 special stages instead of 18. As in 2018, the service park is based on the shores of Bostalsee Lake, around 60km south of Trier. For the first time, the wooded recreational park will also host the official start ceremony on Thursday evening. Friday’s programme comprises two attempts at a loop of narrow stages through the vineyards of the nearby Mosel Valley, plus two visits to a very tricky super-special in Wadern-Weiskirchen.

It is the responsibility of the participant to be familiar with the contents of these Technical Regulations and to comply with its requirements. It is not the responsibility of the officials to discover all potential rule compliance issues. The responsibility for compliance with these Technical Regulations rests first and foremost with the competitor. Additional safety equipment or safety-enhancing equipment is always permitted and the levels of safety equipment stated in these Technical Regulations are minimum prescribed levels for a particular type of competition and do not prohibit the individual competitor from using additional safety equipment. Competitors are encouraged to investigate the availability of additional safety devices or equipment for their type of competition. In disputed cases, whether an item, device or piece of equipment is safety-enhancing or performance-enhancing will be determined by the FIA Technical Delegate or the FIA Technical Department. Furthermore, as to performance-enhancing equipment, it is the general principle that unless optional performance-enhancing equipment or performance- related modifications are specifically permitted by these Technical Regulations, they are prohibited. Throughout these Technical Regulations, a number of references are made for particular products and equipment to meet certain standards and specifications (i.e. FIA-Standard, SFI Specs, Snell, DOT, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are manufactured to meet certainspecifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels the product as meeting that standard or specification.

Consequently, Audi Sport, in addition to its commitments in Formula E and the DTM, will be competing in the FIA World Rallycross Championship as well. Longstanding Audi factory driver Mattias Ekström founded EKS in early 2014, subsequently leading the squad to the top of the world’s standings with great personal commitment within the space of only three years. In the 2016 season, Ekström and EKS in the all-wheel-drive Audi S1 EKS RX quattro won both the drivers’ and the teams’ world championships against strong competitors from Ford, Peugeot, Volkswagen and numerous privateer teams. “We realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult for EKS to stand its ground against the factory teams, so we decided to intensify our commitment in the World RX,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dieter Gass. Thanks to factory help from AUDI AG, the EKS project can continue.
