I have meet him last year on Lausitz Rallye. And I cannot say any bad words against him. He is friendly and not so bad driver. For sure not top driver, but he can make some good times.
His family once owned even a large part of east Bohemia, also the now Unesco castle in my birth town Litomyšl. But that was more than a century a go :)
Old aristocrat family. So has enough money, and a possibility most of us do not. Let him have fun!

To be clear, I have nothing against him. I never saw him drive, so can't say a thing about that.
I just know that he isn't some kind of young talent and that he's got the money to do a full ERC without any problem.
Saw him driving in 300 Lakes rally in Lithuania last year. Not the fastest, but was doing great job in such fast gravel rally. With more experience could be 6th-10th in ERC rallies. Also it's nice to see more regulars in ERC.
I'm rather sure that Albert ist able to match the times of other gentleman drivers like Tlusták. With some luck we could see him on the podium :).
Good support and definite dates for boarding and return for Azores Airlines Rally 2017.
