Thanks. I’m disappointed, i expected to see more development from Stritesky after some good times last year.Quote:

I think wrong tyre choice.
It was about tyre choice. Pech had full slicks, Mares three slicks and one medium and Kopecky has cross. He is also not used to use Pirelli tyres in these conditions... Also Marczyk had sometimes issues to be fast with Pirelli as they are different in mixed conditions comparing to what they know with Michelin.Quote:

Jan Dohnal in a 306 Maxi at Bohemia :D :cool:
I'm sure they're recording their own times but he might not be pusing that hard.. i don't think he's had that much mileage in the car on asphalt and he's supposed to be a kinda safety car heheQuote:

Mares retired on the last stage with a technical problem, gutted for him after a great drive. Kopecky wins from Wagner.
Wagner was very very impressive for me, obviously he is doing a lot of kms, but still. Gutted for Mares, it was a good fight with Kopecky, hopefully he can nick it the next time.Quote:

Wow! Mares faster than Kopecky in the first round of Czech championship!
https://www.ewrc-results.com/results...2023/?s=414138
Stages were quite wet and muddy which are not ideal Kopecky conditions, especially with new car he doesn't know so well. Disappointing result for him bit i expect him to get much stronger as the year goes on.
Mares with shitty pirelli tyres,Kopecky with michelin.Quote:

Stritesky with amazing times at Bohemia rally(Hankook tyres)
https://www.ewrc-results.com/results...2023/?s=428253
So, Stritesky won Rally Bohemia - https://rally-base.com/2023/bohemia-...boleslav-2023/
Pech was fastest, but retired with technical issues. In the final, Stritesky faster than Kopecky for 0,8. You still can be fastest with Evo over RS...
Kopecky doesn’t seem to have gelled with the new car. He’s not slow, but certainly not any quicker than with the old car.
Stritesky is a strange one. Super quick on Bohemia, but average elsewhere and still too many accidents.
RIP Michal! =/
On the morning of Sunday, 26 May 2024, after yesterday's accident on the Podorlická Rally special stage, Michal Fikejs lost his fight for life.

Březík won Rally Hustopeče in a tight battle with Kopecký. Stříteský and Cais behind them both went off and lost about 20 seconds. Pech retired after an accident. Super interesting season so far.
https://rally-base.com/2024/agrotec-...ustopece-2024/
I guess nobody would guess that the first two event winners would be Stříteský and Březík.
Great that Kopecky finally has some competition in the Czech Championship, Barum should be mega!
Vaclav Pech in a Citroën C3 Rally2 next weekend, is it a one-shot or a car change for the rest of the season :confused:
Only one shot.Quote:

For season 2025, Erik Cais is switching to different team and different car - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=23534
Debut will be this weekend on Prazsky Rallysprint
In Praszky there will be also Zdenek Pokorny driving a Citroën C3 Rally2 ;)
I think it is not brand switch, only his usual car was not available for rent...Quote:

Will Kopecky continue? He seemed to rediscover his form on the final event last year.
Yes, he will.
I noticed there's a second Citroën C3 Rally2 in CZ(alongside the one of Vaclav Pech): it'll be driven by Viktor Szabo next week at the RallyeTest Plzen ;)
