It's a joke

Great video of 2014 season of Petr Šimurda - one of our most spectacular drivers. Must watch for fans of RWD rallying!

He described his Škoda "130LR" gr.V car in a recent interview. The engine is slightly modified Felicia Kit Car 1400 with 154 Hp. The gearbox is 6-speed sequential built in original casing. Suspension is Škoda 130LR upgraded with uniball joints and adjustable Protlum dampers. Front brakes are new, rear original 130LR. I guess the car may have around 800 kg.

Very nice. Respect he had kept the original car as much as possible and produced such nice Rally car. For RWD cars angine in the back has advantage for better traction I think.

Opel Adam Cup will not happen. Looks like the reason is in unsuccessful finding of a proper sponsorship.

Last year Czech Citroën team Gekon Racing gave a chance to young women to drive their DS3 R1 in Czech Rallysprint championship. Lucie ?ervenková who won the shootout was driving quite well but her workload doesn't allow her to continue in 2014. Therefore the new driver for the team is Barbora Holická who was second in the shootout last year. One difference is that for 2014 her DS3 R1 will take part in International Czech championship and will be counted into official Citroën Trophy. Her co-driver will be another young woman Jind?iška Žáková who was co-driving for example crazy Suzuki Ignis driver Ji?í Sojka in the past.

Very sad news came today. One of the most popular rallysprint events - Rallye Lužické Hory is canceled. So far there is no official statement but it looks like it is because of negative public opinion and refusal from local authorities following the chain of tragic events in Czech rallying.

Rally Lužické Hory was supposed to be second round of Czech rallysprint season and first in German-Polish-Czech Lausitz cup. The date was scheduled to 19th April.

For me personally it's sad as I have almost always come to spectate this event...

Chief of the rally confirmed that the rally was cancelled due to the lack of stages where locals agree with holding the rally.

As a result of Rally Lužické Hory cancellation our ASN decided to put Rally Krkonoše back into Rallysprint championship calendar. The rally will take place on 5th July. Not so good thing is that it is only one week before Rally Bohemia.

Test rally Žiželice is canceled. Only 9 crews entered...
