Edit: Wrong thread.
It seems that Bouffier is going to start with Gemini DS3 R5 and Jakeš with Orsák's Fabia S2000 (instead of Kristiansen).
Thanks for the news Mirek. So no win for Bryan?Quote:

Would be great if Gemini wished to continue with Bouffier and promote their brand across Europe with a bigger ERC programme next year. After Barum they will have already done three events together this year.Quote:

Cerny wasnt on Michelins?
This year he has been using Pirelli.
Acording to his facebook Kobus is going to start as well.
so whatdo we know
Kopecký Fabia R5
Kajetanowicz Fiesta R5
Lukyanuk Fiesta R5
Bouffier DS3 R5
Habaj Fiesta R5
Černý Fabia R5
Vlček Fiesta R5
Kostka Fabia R5
Tarabus Fabia R5
Tlustak Fabia R5
Sirmacis Fabia R5
Odložilik Fiesta R5
Botka DS3 R5
Kobus Fabia R5
Valoušek Fabia R5
Jakeš Fabia S2000
Kreim Fabia R5
Sirmacis with R5? I haven't expected that. Is it confirmed somewhere or is it just Your wish?
didnt know,but expecting it when he was starting on previuous rallys with it.
Also heard about Casier would come to Barum.
AFAIK Sirmacis hasn't planned Barum with R5. I thought he would come at best with R2 but I'm not sure.
Casier isn't going to start even though he planned that. His co-driver is too busy.
Bostanci in
He was trying to crowdfund it.Quote:

Škoda doesn't care about ERC anymore. Kopecký is going to be there but he would be there even without ERC. Kreim is going to be there in Kresta's team, not in works car.
By the way You can add Štajf with another Fabia R5 into Sete's list.
Regardless of whether it's ERC or not it's the biggest event in the Czech Rally calendar with the most publicity.Quote:

Isn´t Kreim being serviced by Kresta Racing at Barum?
Yes, but I don't know who is funding him.Quote:

Do we know whether Habaj will come with R5? Pluto said few months ago it could be only R2 car.
Belgian driver Delplace should be there too, with his Swift S1600 (or maybe the Fabia R5 he rented for Ypres as that came from a Czech Team)
I think he doesn't have any driving license valid in CZ...Quote:

Ex-Vlček car is owned by Tomek and that one may be on start. Růžička shall start too. We'll see. For the list of Sete You can add also Jelínek with Fabia S2000.
Also some very fast gr.N drivers still prevail here and shall start - Kopáček, Březík or Ševčík.
Sirmacis definitely wants to come with Skoda Fabia R5, but he doesn't have enough money. He's trying to crowdfund it, but last time I heard he was still missing over 30 000 E. Read about it here:Quote:

Yes, Habaj wants to come with Fiesta R5. He quit Polish championship in order to compete in more ERC rounds. See here:Quote:

The entries are closed already. Either he entered without having the budget or didn't enter at all. I personally don't know.Quote:

Regarding historics I am happy that Krejča is going to start. He is seriously fast and so far he has never started on Barum.
