Suzuki driver Urmo Aava has moved into the lead of the Junior Championship after a carefully-controlled drive to second place on the Rallye Deutschland. P-G Andersson, who was forced to miss the fifth round of the series in Germany, is currently second in the Junior Championship: making it a Suzuki one-two at the top of the standings.
Englishman James Wozencroft deputised for Andersson in Germany, and ran in the points before having to stop on the second day as a result of a broken wheel stud. He re-started the final day under the super rally system, and set some promising times while building up more experience at the wheel of the Suzuki Swift Super 1600.

 

  
 
 
Urmo Aava (2nd in JRC after SS19):
“This rally was all about taking things carefully for me, particularly on the final day when it would have been so easy to throw all our hard work away. Now we can be very pleased with a job well done, which has given us the lead of the championship: our objective from the very first stage of the rally. It wasn’t a perfect event for us, which is often the case when you are driving to a certain rhythm. We had a couple of overshoots and bounced off a hay bale but it was nothing serious. It’s been a very difficult rally and I’m very pleased to get to the end.”
 
 
 
James Wozencroft (12th in JRC after SS19):
“I’m very grateful to Suzuki for giving me this fantastic chance to gain experience of a world class event. I’ve enjoyed every minute. Right from the very start, my priority was to get to the finish safely and learn as much as possible. Had it not been for a problem with a wheel stud halfway through day two, I think we would have achieved that. But I still managed to drive all the stages and get to the end of the event, so it’s mission accomplished. I’m very happy. ”
 
 
 
News from Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima, team principal:
“Germany is the most complicated asphalt event of the year and I would like to commend our drivers for getting through it safely and doing exactly what we asked, despite the difficult circumstances. As a result, Urmo has moved into a well-deserved lead of the championship, and with P-G in second we have a Suzuki one-two! I am also very pleased that we were able to give James this chance to gain some valuable experience, and he has clearly used the opportunity to the full. Well done to all!”
