Thx Mirek. But I didn't follow stage times of any 911 driver, because they are just gentelman drivers. Pech driving 911 never had any troubles beeing faster compare to R2 drivers.
I hope that Pech will be faster with Fiesta already in the second event. Otherwise this championship will be very booring.....Kopecky is in his own league.

Janota isn't exactly a gentleman driver but we have to take into accout that also his car is simply nowhere near to what Pech had last year.
Anyway I meant it just as and information for You ;-)

The best video so far including crashes of Jakeš and Březík: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn7qbblXXus
Kopecký very spectacular, Pech clearly a lot calmer. He said himself he needs more time and test to get more confident and faster.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Some updates from driver's comments:
Černý - no driving mistake but technical problems with wheel bearing caused the time loss
Pech - there are still reserves in his driving, only little issues with pop-off valve, the time lost on Tatra polygon was due to stalled engine in one junction
Dohnal - lost a lot of time at the start of the event with a mistake on Tatra polygon, due to that was out of the fight for the rest of the rally
Overall nobody was happy with the stages where six stages were circuits while four were totally artificial ones made on Tatra polygon full of chicanes. On the other hand there were huge crowds of people there.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Seeing Dhonal's Focus on these videos reminds me how boring those cars were.. even the much criticised Fabia R5 sounds more exciting.

The Focus is louder than Fabia R5 when You hear both live together.

This is what probably caused the problems of Černý towards the end of the rally. This hit is from SS3. The problems with bearing on the same wheel started at SS11 (if video doesn't open at exact moment, go to 0:18): https://youtu.be/eKCjIQIJ7lU?t=18

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
