Czech rally news

[PLuto]

Can you explain the changes?

Original idea was:

Czech championship on 6 events, each two day, overall classification for cars in classes 2-10 (+ some national), special class for WRC cars (no overall, only this class)
rally sprint series (not championship, but something like "cup") on 6 events, each one day, overall classification for 2WD cars (classes 5-10 + national), special class for all 4WD cars

but, then suddenly and unexpectedly somebody on the highest places allowed WRC cars until 2006 (on czech plates until end 2014) will be able to fight also in overall classification

Shocking news. Organizers of Rally Kopná and Mikuláš Rally Slušovice decided to stop with any rallying actions due to the changes in Czech rally regulations.

Kopná used to be the best one-day rally in our country

I think that real reasont for this information is not reaction to the changes in regulations (despite it is written in the press release). There are lot of factors and this is mainly "excuse". But I think (or hope) that they will change their decision later...

I understand that there is something behind that but I don't want to speculate.

I suppose someone has the appropriate connections in your national federation.we will find out soon.

Yes, you are correct. People here in Czech knows who is this person...

Kostka?

[Mirek]

No, sure not. I think I know who Pluto means but in that case it's not about sporting advantage but about business advantage. Anyway let's just say that there are always some interests behind any decisions.

It looks like some more drivers may have hastily bought WRC cars for next year. It might be very interesting what comes out of that
