[IRC, ERC, MMCR] Barum Czech Rally ZlÃ*n 2011

[Hartusvuori]

Okey, it's more than four months until this event, but it's never too early. Some basic information on the event has been published on autosport.cz and it looks like the succesful formula from last few years will be repeated this year also.

BCRZ will be held August 26th-28th.

hours - Finish of the rally -

If I understand right from the article, it should be four stages repeated each day, with SSS Zlín totaling in 17 stages.

I figure there is no reason to believe the entry wouldn't be any less than last year. Of course that is someting we'll know for sure once it's published. But top drivers of IRC and MMCR will definitely be there, hopefully some fast drivers from ERC as well.

Thanks for pointing this out. From the timetable you'll get rough overview now, but for any considerable planning one must wait for the proper version. But it have always been like this, right?

Is shakedown still the same as it were last year, though RG1 states it is some 300m shorter? From which end shorter?

[Mirek]

No shakedown is different.

Ok, time to bump this thread to the top!

Any rumoured "special" entries beyond the expected yet?

It surprises me we have never had live tv for Barum. Rallying is big in CZ, and maybe Eurosport could share the footage with some local tv station?

Robert Barrable from Ireland is hoping to enter in his Fabia S2000.

Interesting if he does, maybe he can surprise there too although roads are not really comparable with Ypres.

[Walach]

But they are comparable with Irish roads..fast and bumpy :-)
