Julius Tannert extended his lead in the ADAC Opel Rallye Cup. It was the third victory of the season for the Saxon after leader Jacob Madsen's ride. Neuville and Vuorisalo found themselves on the podium once again, and Mandel had a strong debut. With his third victory of the season in four races, Julius Tannert markedly extended his lead in the ADAC Opel Rallye Cup overall ranking at the ADAC Cosmo Rallye Wartburg. The 25 year-old from Zwickau and his Luxembourgian passenger Jennifer Thielen turned in a convincing race right in front of the gates of the Opel ADAM production plant in Eisenach, profiting from their competitors' bad luck. The Dane Jacob Lund Madsen, who had led the Cup ranking, ended up in a ditch in his Cup Adam during the eighth special stage (WP). The Pole Jerzy Tomaszczyk, second in the Rallye Thuringia behind Tannert taking second place in the table, hit a guardrail in WP1, throwing away the chance of a good placing early on.
