Mechanical difficulties unrelated to the engine have spoiled the chances of success for the OMV CNG Rally team at the Admont Rally for the third year in a row. Driver Beppo Harrach and co-driver Andreas Schindlbacher were coming in third place in their biomethane fueled vehicle until the final three stages when technical difficulties, including damage to tyres, shock absorbers and brake lines saw the team lose ground to sixth place overall. Harrach says the Admont Rally is proving to be a curse for the team, with complications also arising when they competed in the 2006 and 2007 events.
