2015 Kopecký

[PLuto]

Despite this year Kopecký is not so fast like in previous years and he is using different tyre brand, it will not be easy for other drivers to beat him. If there should be Lukyanuk, Gryazin, Mikkelsen or Bonato, it should be little bit different. But this year? We will see, maybe somebody will surprise.

Even if his confidence is not at his best, Cais should worry Kopecky normally considering what happened last year.
But from the non-Czech drivers, yeah, sound impossible considering the entries.

In ERC-4 Junior, interesting to see Herranen, probably preparing for an international campaign next year (he was talking about J-WRC such as Max McRae) even if he will probably suffer as in Roma.

Herranen is skipping next Finnish Championship Rally even that he is 3rd in points now.

He has bought own Rally3 from Printsport.

Feels like international attempt

[Co-driven]

And I think Roma was his first ever tarmac rally. And only the second time he drove on tarmac, considering the test he did in Italy in preparation for the event.

[Jarek Z]

Cais hopes for rain. He says that on dry tarmac it will be very hard to catch Kopecky:

[Fast Eddie WRC]

My weather app shows warm and dry for Zlin during the rally. The Pirelli's of Kopecky should be fine.

I guess Llarena could also challenge him but he wont take the risks with the Ch'ship in mind.

[RS]

I think Czech guys are more likely to challenge Kopecky, maybe Wagner for an outside bet.

[Jarek Z]

I wouldn't count on Wagner. He has never achieved anything in Barum Rally and his results this year are far from impressive...

[WRC1]

I wouldn't count on Wagner. He has never achieved anything in Barum Rally and his results this year are far from impressive...

???? are you sure you talk about Simon Wagner??? he won every race in Austria he was participating...he was 3rd in Acores and 2nd in Bohemia, he beat many Rally2 cars when driving 2wd car in Slovenia....the only really "not sooo good result" was Liepaja...

I meant ERC standings. He is only 15th overall. Acores was actually his only good rally this season. I thought that such a good driver can't be happy with such results...

And I think I have forgotten to mention that for me the biggest favourite is of course Jan Kopecky, but a black horse for me is Filip Mareš, I think the driver with currently best form.

Κοpecky faster at qualy

Good to see 4 drivers within 1 second, maybe we will have some fight in this rally:

Very interesting time for Mabellini in shakedown; looking at what he did there in 2021 in Clio Trophy with a big domination even against Soria, I was hoping he could match Pellier to see a very good fight; shakedown sounds to confirm he can. But let’s see on track now.

Interesting to see Kopecky, Wagner, Cais and Mares in close times; could be a great fight.

ERC-4 Junior sounds unlikely except if Pellier or his car messes up; but normally, the French has the experience to handle that kind of situation. Never say never but wouldn’t bet against Pellier in this one.

ERC-4 sounds a bit more realistic as Palomo is not that great on tarmac. But he will need a win here (with probably Palomo no better than 4th) to have a real possibility in Catalunya so probably some help needed from Dapra.
However, ERC-4 is just a trophy as far as I know; there is no prize drive with it so not sure it could help a lot for backing?

[Danny0405]

Almost over in Clio Trophy, Soria needs to finish 6th (on 7 entries) and a guy already lost more than 3 minutes. Hope Soria can make it to the end because he is pretty fast but sometimes messy

Splits from Mabellini a bit strange but good time at the end apparently; let’s see what strategy Pellier will take because Mabellini sounds red hot, he should probably avoid making to make the same mistake than in Liepaja trying to match with a red-hot driver whereas he can clinch 2nd.
Also Dapra has a lot improved since he is in the Clio.
Not a surprise but quite an interesting time from Zeiringer; maybe he is tested by Opel to see if he can be the front driver next year?

Wow! This looks quite serious! Luckily, the statement from MRF seems quite positive:
Efrén Llarena and Sara Fernández have crashed on Rally Zlin. Both are out of the car under unassisted and will have medical checkups. We will provide you with more information when it is available.

After leaving the road on the third stage of the Barum Rally, @efren_llarena and @FernandezSara14 have been transferred to a hospital,
where Efrén has an injury to a vertebra, which will force him to remain under observation.

Why are they not showing Stritesky on the tv or in the results?

He is driving on Hankook tires and they are not registered brand in ERC.

Very good stage by Ken Torn, although some guys are not pushing now.

Wow big big crash for Battistolli, a bit same image than Llarena

Hope they are well but it’s a lot of crashes this weekend and almost frightening
Don’t know if it’s because of the weather?

There is almost every year big accidents in Barum. Must be very difficult event and maybe better it´s not in the WRC.

Yeah but sounds more big offs than former years for me ... but maybe bad feeling?

Splits being worse and worse in PS, rain in last stage?
(Yeah, confirmed by Herczig that rain is coming in the stage)

[Danny0405]

And the win for Kopecky, congrats to him
Wagner fights well in the last 2 but Mares maintains his 2nd position despite the rain.
Cais will take 4th with Stritesky in dire situation in the last one

Also interesting Astier with probably a top-12 finish with a RGT Alpine if he does it to the end

Whoa.. Llarena’s crash was also huge (they showed an onboard). Thank god the main cell of the car remained intact in both crashes.

It’s a fast rally with trees close to the road, and when you add in unpredictable weather and the wrong tyres it can be dangerous. Maybe time for the rallying world to consider an all-weather tyre for asphalt?

[Danny0405]

Win and ERC-4 Junior title for Pellier who will obtain some drives for WRC-3 Junior next year
A bit disappointed by Mabellini, I thought he could match Pellier this weekend but Pellier was way better in the difficult weather conditions

Palomo still has a confortable lead in ERC-4 championship (but he will have to manage both ERC-4 and Peugeot Rally Cup Iberica at the same time in Catalunya)

[Jarek Z]

It’s a fast rally with trees close to the road, and when you add in unpredictable weather and the wrong tyres it can be dangerous.

Yes. You can also add narrow roads in forests, bad conditon of tarmac, with many holes and patches that change the level of grip.

[Jarek Z]

No excuses now... let's see how fast you really are Senor Llarena, 2022 ERC Champion ! ;)

It seems you over-motivated him! ;)

Cais hopes for rain. He says that on dry tarmac it will be very hard to catch Kopecky:

Engines getting ripped out is not really something new as per the one that Delecour suffered in Oz a few years back

The crash that Csosmos had on SS6 as per this pic looked like it could potentially have been worse

https://www.ewrc-results.com/media/74891-barum-czech-rally-zlin-2022/3775/

Barum with all those trees near the road and wet roads makes it a real test and not a rally for the faint hearted.

I'd say it's actually amazing how the car took that. It's like 140? sideways into the tree with no braking basically on the weakest part of the car.

Sure if it was 40 cm more back it would be more dangerous to co-driver, but then the deformation would likely be less due to B-pillar strength. Still good this was a car with short doors and not the whale (GB 2005 for those who don't remember).

Not a bad idea. An organiser could deem such a tyre compulsory if there was a very good chance of rain during an event. Plus it would be the same for everyone so no-one would be disadvantaged.

Easier to put in a minimum number for shore for asphalt tyres.
Put them on much harder tyres, to get speeds down and safety up!

[RS]

All-weather tyres would naturally be slower on dry asphalt, safer when conditions are bad and mean events like last weekend’s Barum are less of a lottery. And yes, it would mean fewer tyres have to be taken to an event which would be cheaper and easier logistically.

It should help if they will give more freedom in choice of tyres. Not to limit the tyres to only 16 per event and allow cutting the tyres for this unpredictable conditions...

But this would increase costs and benefit those that can afford them. Plus the risk element would still be there. Better to reduce cost, risk and the element of luck by putting everyone on an all-weather tyre.

With onboards it is more difficult as new promoter has big restrictions to show it. But there are lot of nice videos from fans.

For example here is one from Passats de Canto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4q6Q8ZDRnM

I was thinking how it should be if there will be WRC field on Barum with such a conditions. As the drivers from WRC (all field, not only Rally1) are usually pushing all the time and has problems to slow down if necessary, I think there should be much more bigger and serious accidents than it was...
