Sumava started.
at ss1 Kopecky 4,7 faster from Luky.Pech +7,9 from Kopecky.
Not bad at all from Nordgren on his first Czech asphalt stage.
Mares slightly quicker than Cerny continuing trend from end of round one.
Luky +0,8 from Kopecky at ss2
Kopecky again faster 6,4 sec at 18 km stage
Kopecky 'slow' on SS7 this morning, maybe he drives to protect his lead.
Nordgren quickest, impressive for a Finn inexperienced on asphalt.
Kopecky controls the rally.Very good pace from Nordgren.Impressive for his first rally at Czech.
Nice battle in the 208 cup too: Talas taking the lead from Navratil ;)
Wagner now 3rd...
And note the 208s and the Porsche(GTs)are battling for the lead in 2WD class :D
In the 208 cup today on leg 2, Julian Wagner is clearly the fastest of all ;) he only has 9" to catch on Navratil for the 2nd position of the cup with three stages left to go...
Something happened to Vaclav Pech in the penultimate stage :confused:
Puncture :confused:

Apparently time of Jan Talas in SS13 was wrong(maybe he was briefly stopped by another driver off the road and the organizers of the event changed his time :confused: )
Anyway, Talas won the 208 cup for 19" ahead of Wagner...
Even Lukyanuk cannot stop him. 19th win in a row for Kopecky! Congratulations!

Fast and mature drive by Luky though, the extra practice on Czech roads could mean he is pretty formidable on Barum this year.Quote:

This time I didn't have time to follow the rally closely but it looks like Pech will have a massive problem to be second at the end of the season. Also very good event for Nordgren and Mareš. It's nice that Mareš and Kopáček became so quickly faster than Černý.
Nice video from the promoter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yp-ptcZdwc
Big moment of Mareš at 1:52; Kopáček's spin (due to broken driveshaft from heavy landing) at 2:16 or Pech's off at 3:02 (Uhel said it was his mistake to read the note wrong). You can skip the interviews You don't understand.
And last but not least congratulation to Lehus for strong performance on Šumava ;)
Not surprising if the 911's are driven by nobodies....Quote:

This situation nicely shows that even those huge fucking safety zones have some meaning...

That's what I tried to imply :) Using GT in CZ for anything else than fun is nonsense. Even with top machinery and top driver the result was simply a fail.
Partially true, but if my memory serves me well, Pech didn't have any troubles with FWD (R2 & R3) cars when driving 911.Quote:

For me it was a really nice rally to watch, with high temperatures. Not very usually for Rallye Sumava.
The positive surprises were Nordgren, Mares and Kopacek, but also Lukyanuk. I didn't think that Luky could be at least as Pech on his home event.
The dissapointment was - again- Cerny.
I was also wondering that Jakes was using Hankook tyres.
Many onboards already here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy3...xIYs5mA3is_vrg
No Lukyanuk so far, one from Kopecký, two from Pech. Kopecký including some basic telemetry. Very nice stages worth watching (especially the two with Pech).
By the way the stage Nordgren won (Pech's onboard SS7) was basically new for everyone and it's also partially gravel one.
My photos from Šumava & Vltava at http://www.rallylife.cz/rally-sumava...a-rallye-2018/
Really like your style! Excellent work.
Yeah, judging from this photo it must have been really hot! :DQuote:

I agree with Martijn. Great photos Nowi!
Julian Wagner moans about notional times in SS13 - first five drivers got the time of Wagner.
I was not there and I am not familiar with the situation but You can for sure ask PLuto for more information.
I know about it. I was that person who made this notional times. I was trying to explain it to him on arrival to last service, but without any proper success. I wants to make during this week a treatise about notional times - to explain system why we are doing notional times like this. And explain him that from my/our point of view it is more fair to everyone than what he proposed.Quote:

Is Kalle Rovanpera old enough to drive on Czech Championship events? Other Skoda works drivers have all had a go now..
Pluto knows for sure more but there are drivers even up to 16 years of age currently driving here so it shall be possible if somebody does the paper work with the ministry of transportation and the ASN.
