Mr. Kissel, run like the preparations?
Very good. We have completed the basis of work successfully, and everything is in the green area. In the route planning, we have worked very closely with the municipalities and the competent authorities. From this page, all of the permits and the submission of the track at the FIA is so done. Even the organisational planning is already in full swing. Recently, we had, for example, a large security Workshop with all the WP leaders and their deputies. First of all, the waiting was the training for the Sport.
Up to the rally, there are still around 100 days. What are the specific planning steps to follow next?
Now it is increasingly in the detail planning. For example, the issue of Spectator areas, where we are in a few areas in consultation with landowners or tenants. An important planning step is then of course the whole issue of personnel. At the ADAC Rallye Deutschland again this year, a good 2,000 of sports are waiting from the whole of Germany and neighbouring countries in volunteer work.
What is the most exciting new Highlights of the ADAC rally Germany in 2019?
The Highlights start on Thursday with The official opening ceremony will take place for the first Time in our wonderfully nearby the service Park at Bostalsee. After that, it goes directly to a completely new start verification, the WP St. Wendeler country. On Saturday, we have installed a couple of Surprises on the troop exercise area. Up to a couple of short passages – for example, in the case of the legendary jump top Gina is driven in the opposite direction to the previous year. The Arena Panzerplatte, where, 2018, the Start of what, this year, to the target area. The team comes to the Recce [Anm.: Track inspection] really a lot of work, because you need to write down on the troop exercise area about 50 kilometers. And then we are on Sunday with the Power stage on the Moselle. The decision of The ADAC Rallye Deutschland if mountains for the first Time in the wine.
What do you expect from the opening ceremony for the first time in the service Park?
With the opening ceremony at the service Park, the Teams now have the opportunity to be with your entire Service staff and all the volunteers live and join in the celebrations. For spectators, the celebration resulting from the opening of the service Park and encouraging short routes. There is a Shuttle Service from the Parking areas to the service Park, from where everything is within walking distance. The Fans can be during the day during the Shakedown, then in the service Park, all of the participants on-stage experience, and then the first audit visit. You can early Park his car and the whole day rally to enjoy.
A new feature is also the kick-off audit. What’s up with that?
As usual it is so in this year, directly after the opening ceremony to the first test. Unlike in previous years, the sporty prelude is not this time but on a track, but a Super Special Stage is a starting point and a destination, as well as correctly challenging passages. The SSS St. Wendel is located in the vicinity of the service Park so that the spectators can come to the opening ceremony directly on the track. A further advantage of the test is that the Teams could get to know the track already at the Shakedown in detail and, therefore, correspondingly fast. The spectators can look forward to from the first second on a very high sporting level.
The Action on the Baumholder military training ground has been one of the solid Highlights, with the great masses of visitors. What is the motivation to change something at the end of the rally Saturday?
We have a Morning and afternoon round, spatially separated and will go only after the lunch service to Baumholder. This has the great advantage that the audience is much less – and to the brink. In the morning, the action focuses on the area near St. Wendel in the Saarland and in the afternoon there are then armor plate saturated with more WP miles than in the previous year, and Action up in the early evening.
Last year, the vineyard exams have caused a on Sunday for extra voltage. Now the power is held daily between the vines. What are your expectations for this final?
My expectations are very high and I am sure that this will not be between the result from the Saturday evening the final result. The tests on Sunday are much too demanding. Almost 80 kilometers through the vineyards – that’s the thing and it will happen a lot. The WP Drohntal as a new power days is also a great test for the audience. There are many terraces with excellent view. The driver long and several times in the view. A super final for all!
How to run a Ticket in the presale? Are you satisfied?
Yes, the presale is going very well. In comparison to the previous year, there are at the current stage. We have therefore put together very attractive offers – at the Start of the pre-sale were quickly determined to save up to 30 percent. And, as before, the presale is worth it, compared to the daily cash prices. In addition to the rally Pass for four days in advance day tickets. Already from 25 Euro you can experience, for example, the Action on the opening day with Shakedown, opening ceremony and the first WP.
