Hermann Gassner and Karin Thannhauser started on hungarian Baranya Kupa and on Rallye Deutschland WRC event in August. We are talking with Karin for this events.
- Hello Karin! You was 2nd in Baranya Kupa Mitropa's competitors, how was your event?
- Hello Gabor! In this year was the rally very better as 2016, event was great on Friday and Saturday too, very great was Mitropa Diner and very good was the organization. And we meet very kindly people... For us was this perfect event and we will come back next year with more driver friends.
- The weather was too hot in Hungary....
- Yes, but it’s so in this time, it’s summer. We get cold water on the end of every SS and in regrouping and the organization has done everything possible. It was fantastic!
- How did you like the Baranya Kupa?
- Now I like this rally more as 2016. Meanwhile the bureaucracy has become very large in rallying. That's too bad. But here everything is very uncomplicated and I love that. Thanks a lot again to Tibor Markó and his team!
- After Baranya Kupa you was in WRC event in your home country.
- This WRC event is one of the highlight every year. Not all was ok and we had a puncture.
The best stage was SS “Panzerplatte” with “Gina” jump and we passed twice this stage (42 km) without problems.
- You are reached your goal in Hungary and Germany?
- No, but we are satisfied with the results. Not only the results are important. Also a nice time together with the mechanics and other teams (at the food) and that all people come home healthy.
- Krisztián Hideg will drive with Ford Fiesta R5 in Rally Nova Gorica the next Mitropa event.
- R5 is a new modern car and we wish Krisztian and Istvan many fun and good luck with this car.
For us it is now even more difficult, but for the championship it is really exciting and that is good.
- Thank you Karin the interview!
- I thanks too, and we will meet in next year too!
