Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2019

[Mirek]

Timetable is out: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=21728

[Mirek]

Supplementary regulations for the Star Rally Historic are also out now: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=21907

The most important is the timetable. Aside of the city stage the competitive field will do 6 stages on Saturday afternoon and evening (legends only 5).

Regarding the non-regular foreign drivers we have now Gryazin confirmed and everything looks like Marczyk will come too.

[Mirek]

Simon Wagner said in the finish of Rally Bohemia that his aim is to start on Barum but the budget is not yet secured.

[Mirek]

Tomáš Kostka with Fabia R5 of Kresta Racing confirmed.

[Jarek Z]

Hiroki Arai confirmed his presence in Barum Rally:

[Mirek]

Martin Prokop will repeat the last year's successful show with his Dakar car on the city stage :)

[Mirek]

Since Marczyk is testing today near Zlín we can count him as sure participant.

Kresta Racing will have therefore up to five R5 cars on the start with at least three very fast drivers (Kostka, Mareš, Marczyk).

Will Mares have the Evo car?

[Mirek]

I don't know but I don't think so because his car is new (3 events run in total).

[sb7]

Anyone has info about when we can expect provisional entry list for '19 Barum?

[Mirek]

There will be no provisional list. The official one comes out on Monday 18:00 CET.

Maps will come out on Monday too. There are some changes to the stages, especially with the stage Kostelany. 2/3 of the stage were last used in 2008 and even back then these roads were split into two different stages.

Thanks Mirek,

I know that deadline of maps 5 August, and I am waiting for them and entries as well. Do you have any info in advance about direction of Pindula which will be back again this year?

[Mirek]

Pindula will be run in the most common variant from the past (not like in 2017) and in direction from the west to the east.

As always H numbers = competitive, L numbers = legends

[Mirek]

Entry list is out: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=21731

Nothing unexpected this time. Anyway 137 + 85 cars mean that we will again have a long night on Friday :D

5x Fabia Evo including Kostka and Wagner.

PS Due to the rules some local R5 drivers have numbers up to 77 ;)

Maps: https://www.czechrally.com/wcd/maps/index.html

I apologize for the wrong info about Pindula. It's a hybrid of the old classic route and the new one from 2017.

Adielsson in Fiesta?

[Mirek]

One particularly nice addition. If you open the online stage maps on your mobile phone you can now see also your own gps position.

It's extremely dangerous for people to stay on that place and it would take a long time and many people to get him out. Honestly it's not worth the risk of some dead people imo. Asphalt is a bitch in that.

No chance between the cars. Only if you slow them down and ruin their times.

Moreover the start of the stage is circuit arena, i.e. gaps between cars are uneven and more or less random.

[pantealex]

What ?

He did win WRC2 in Finland ;)

Puncture can (and will) happen to everyone.

[Ucci]

Don't forse me to count all the events, where he retaired due to driver's error.....I have a deep respect for him, he is very very fast, but he is also making huge (read: expensive) mistakes. And a lot of punctures happen due to driver's mistake....

[Fast Eddie WRC]

SS6 delayed ?

[RS]

Well now Gryazin says he is going on 90% speed and he is still fast.. so maybe he'll learn from that.

c3 is not near a fabia at bumpy sections.All fabias are stable,c3 nervous specially at back,and not only at hard brakings at bumpy,but even midcorner.
Pitty that Luky has to compete with this car.
I am pretty sure that Luky with fabia will be almost unbeatable at any surface.
But thats life.Choices with uncertain/small budgets have this kind of decisions
Also Gryazin very big balls.

That's not good for the champiosnship!

It's very good for... Ingram's championship! ;)

He is only 22 points behind Lukyanuk in the overall standings. One gets 18 points for the second place, add bonus points for each leg and... we may have a new leader :)

Exactly I wrote this after Gryazins massive off with completely wrong speed in first stage of rally Estonia that he seems to be getting this typical russian rally driver syndrome.
Since then he crashed out early in Rome and had an off with damage that cost him over a minute in Finland, now puncture here.

[HaCo]

This reminds me of the discussions how engine sound is so important in rallying...
You can basically only heard the tires from Fabias and C3.

[Mirek]

It looks like he crashed twice. First time into the ditch and second time this.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Gryazin was here to improve his tarmac pace for WRC2, not just drive around for ERC points.

Shame he crashed, he was showing great speed and bravery on a tricky event.

Pech retired with broken driveshaft.

Good job by Ingram after delay and cold tyres.

4th rally in a row with at least one crash, sometimes more. Now with 2 crashes right after I mentioned it.

"Speed and bravery" is worth nothing if you don't get it to finish. Duval had plenty of speed and bravery...

He showed great speed cuz he drive like idiot. And than crash like idiot. I guess it will be more drama if he must start WRC Germany with this car. It's an idiot^5. But nothing new, he's russian. Remember Julian question to Lukiyanuk yesterday? Maybe time to think about championship points? - And than he crashed on next stages. Typical.

Gryazin is 21... plenty of time to learn to judge when to back off. At least he is fast.

The Ingram's missing fender was from hitting a hay bale in a chicane.

Wow, many things happening this morning!

R2 completely crazy at my place. Far more enjoyable than R5 here.

Meanwhile Jakeš crashed too.

i just cant beliebe this Gryazin guy, he needs to calm down

Ingram spun on SS12. It's back to one second with Mareš.

[RS]

i just cant beliebe this Gryazin guy, he needs to calm down

When I saw his footage from shakedown and SS2 I was a bit worried it would end like this.

I wonder whether this mentality comes a bit from ‘growing up’ on Latvian roads where you drive flat out and there is not much to hit?

[mknight]

His most immediate concern is what car will he drive in Germany. This one looked like rollcage damage.

[Jarek Z]

Mareš lost some time when he slowed down at Gryazin's accident:
I'm quite angry because of previous stage where I slowed down at Nikolay. Stewards decided not to sort that. So keep going and try to get back these seconds back on the road.

[Jarek Z]

R2 completely crazy at my place. Far more enjoyable than R5 here.

The battle in ERC3 is amazing! There are just 20 seconds between the top 5 drivers after 11 stages. It's a shame nobody is looking at this:

It saddens me when people just come on the ERC forum when they see a crashed car to slag off the driver (in this case Gryazin), or Lukyanuk or another. Where are they when they are driving well and winning stages, beating the local guys or even the current champion ?

And do they not enjoy their flat-out style ? Many young stars had these crashes ('Colin McCrash', and even the new hero Tanak).

Do they prefer one of the dozen guys just driving around safely and finishing 3 minutes behind ?

[Mirek]

Especially Franceschi is extremely spectacular. All top three Fiestas R2 are driving with rather loose rear axle even in high speed corners. Could be a feature of the car.

crash, crash and crash. Even if he was reminded not crash - he will crash anyway. I follow Lukiyanuk a bit longer than you, cuz you not following national Baltic championships or russian nat. championship. And nothing change since that time. One exceptional year was 2018 when he crash less than usual.

"Beating" counts after the finish line. Until then it's just a "split time".

While flat-out drivers indeed add "flavor", it used to be typical for "less serious" rally fans to cheer mostly on these. Lately this kind of cheering seems much more common even here. Backing off just a bit and keeping it on the road is seen as a bad trait for a driver.

There is a big difference between an off when the driver just barely crossed the fine margin and when a driver has completely wrong speed in the corner... repeatedly.

I see ERC as an arena to show yourself for WRC potential (and a place for "local" drivers to compare with others). Gryazin has seen much hype lately over other drivers that actually make it to the finish (here that would be Ingram and Mares).

Gryazin is 21... plenty of time to learn to judge when to back off. At least he is fast.

With those high speed-off he is on potential way to hurt himselve or his co-driver.....

Now they carried Štajf's car around me. Big hit on the right front.

I didnt say it wasnt fair. Just the margin was so small after a whole rally.

Well done to Mareš.

BTW, is the €100k going to help him fight for the overall Title, is he close enough in the points ?

At the end I must (again) to praise Tomaš Kostka; if I'm correct he didn't drive any !! rally event this season (Mirek will correct me...), and he is on the 4th place on the hardest Czech event. Second who is doing big progress is Filip Mareš.
Otherwise from 1st place until 9th place just Škoda Fabia. Huge success! Well done Mlada Boleslav.
Congrats also to Kopecky. Unbeatable on home soil (until Kalle Rovanperä appears, hahahaha).

Kostka is driving around his house. It's always like that with great result here.

Agree on Mares, it's the progress that's most interesting. Basically every rally he is a little bit faster than the previous one.

The Fabia domination is actually not good. Neither here nor on the european/world stage. We can only hope that they will join WRC with the new rules from 2021 instead of dominating R5.
Wonder what Pech is plannig for next season cause that Fiesta is a disaster this season both in terms of speed and performance.

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Points 25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1

In addition, bonus points are allocated to the top seven finishers at the end of each leg as follows: 7-6-5-4-3-2-1.
In Junior ERC3 only the best four rounds (from six) count.
The winner gets two rounds of the 2020 ERC in a ŠKODA Fabia R5.

Can't be a coincidence... €€€ playing the game. The stage was red flagged and random 1min penalty?

[Mirek]

It's not a penalty. It's an alocated notional time. It looks like Francesci was stopped on the stage for some reason before it was red flagged. Hopefully we'll learn more soon.

[Mirek]

Martin Vlček had to undergo non-specified surgery after his crash on SS15. It shall not be too serious but it will take some time to recover for sure. His co-driver Ondřej Krajča was lightly injured.

[olemann]

There are probably only two drivers who have impressed with this type of road and that is Chris Ingram and Sindre Furuseth

[Mirek]

Furuseth did this rally maybe fourth time. Franceschi was here for the first time, Llarena second time and they were both faster. Torn was here also for the first time. That makes a huge difference here. For me Franceschi was the most impressive driver of the weekend.

CoC decision about Franceschi

[svstock]

Stage was red flagged and cancelled so its same time for everyone on that class, definitely will be appealed. They have do take results after SS14, Franceschi's car issues have nothing do with it.

SS 15 - Kašava
SS length: 24.88km
''Stage is cancelled. Other crews will use alternate route.''

[Mirek]

Sorry but You can't take results after SS14. It's not working like that. That would be possible only if the stage was canceled for all crews. That was not the case, some 20 or so crews reached the finish. It's simply not possible to have results of one class with 15 stages and of the other with 14. They were all alocated notional times and there is nowhere written that all must get same time as in this case. If Franceschi really had electrical issues and was stopped in the stage before it was red flagged then it's simply an unfortunate case not a wrong CoC decision.

FYI if this happened in WRC everyone would get stage time based on his performance in the first loop i.e. Torn would get time with a puncture and Cais would maybe win.

[svstock]

At least same time for everyone at that class on SS15. technically it was cancelled for R2.
And how the allocated notional time can be exactly + 01:00.0 that makes no sense

[RS]

So the €100k prize to help the leading Junior continue the fight for the Title on he next two events goes to the guy who is 33 points behind.

I dont think they thought it through.

The guy did not start in the first two events. He did only four events while four counts. It means that the guy had zero jokers unlike the others and he still won. No, that's not a mistake of the rules. He made it harder to himself (due to the missing budget coming afaik from Yates's pre-season change of plans).
