Could you two give rough estimation how many S2000 cars there could be in Barum outside IRC regulars - meaning those competing in ERC and Czech championship or perhaps otherwise making an appearance in Zlin. I'm hoping there'd be over 30 S2000s at the start line. Perhaps we could make a list here.

I'm trying to hold down my excitement towards this particular event, but it's hard... It is going to be my first international event I'll spectate outside Finland, first IRC event and first tarmac event. Usually at this time of the year I'm planning my route through NORF, but now I haven't checked its initeary since it was released in February - thanks to Barum

[Mirek]

Yes, I think that the number of S2000 will be around 30. Than roughly another 30 production cars, some 10-15 R3 cars, some 10 S1600 cars etc. I don't like making lists though

It is too early to say any names or numbers. I can tell you only one exact number - number of actually entered S2000 cars is... ...0

Okey, I'll cancel my flight...

[PLuto]

And make auction for your accomodation, I whink you can earn lot of money from it - most of hotels and pensions in Zlin are full....

Rally Guide 1

It appears that most of the route is changed from 2009. Is there any maps available yet?

[PLuto]

Maps and itinerary with right names of stages will be available later. There is still lot of time before rally and we dont want illegal recce from competitors, spectators and journalists...
