[Cze] Šumava Rally + Historic rally Vltava

[Mirek]

So, Daniel Landa was unconscious in the moment after the big crash. He was taken to the hospital for further medical inspection. It should be quite ok...

There were two crashes in almost the same time on stage 3. Votava and Gavlák...

Both stages 2 and 3 cancelled. 2 for about a half of the crews but 3 for almost all of them except the top...

[Mirek]

This is realy the worst possible way... stage 5 cancelled after a crash. It is third from five

Is it the conditions, the roads or the drivers? Or just bad luck that 3 out of 5 stages have been stopped after accidents?

It was sunny today but the roads are dirty after the winter and somewhere wet in the woods. Stages were very fast today and often very narrow. Sumava used to be a winter rally until this season. But I don't think that is the main reason. The true thing for me is that we have huge competition (about 40 N4 on every rally) this year and when 20 or more drivers are fighting for every second for whole rally, some of them just make mistakes. We expected some crashes sooner but on Valasska rally all top 18 start numbers reached finish which. It was quite unbeliavable...

Valclav Arazim retired (gearbox)
Roman Odložilík was in a ditch for few seconds

Pavel Valoušek lost 30 seconds on stage 7 and he reported big vibrations and handling problems on service. He said they didn't know the problem
