Czech rally news

Bad weekend for Czech rallying again.

R.I.P.

What make it sadder is that on of the victims was a 6-year old child, the same age as two of my grandchilds.

Here in Uherský Brod it was different at least according to all available information. All taping and no-go zones were perfectly ok in the area. Problem was that the marshal who was local guy was chatting with his relatives and friends (turned back to coming cars in strong wind - impossible to hear) instead of moving them out of dangerous zone. He was among the people hit by the car and he survived injured however all his friends are dead. If they stood just four meters from the road they would be all alive. A huge tragedy caused by a stupid human fault. Now we'll see if rallying can continue in our country as the media hunt is enormous.

For media everything where is tragedy is good topic, now newspapers ant tv for me is a piece of ****. They can only say something about rally when someone is dead or when someone is injured. Personally i don't know if you have any tabloid newspaper in Czech but i know situation in Poland and when if something like that happened to be in Poland people are talking that rally is a sport for people without brain etc. For me rally is a sport where you must have head on shoulders, if you don't have later we have situation like i Uhersky Brod.

Now we must wait for a decision about future, i hope it will be positive

Bartek, agree!

Just for better view how it is. Two media (TV Nova and lidovky.cz) used in their reports interviews with so called experienced rally drivers whose names are in no list of license owners. Most likely these people were just purposed made fake persons!

Mikulas Rally Slusovice and Prazsky Rallysprint officially cancelled - Autosport

This bad accident was shown on Saturday evening, Austrian Broadcast NEWS FLASH as Headline! I hate that kind of journalism! They include also an animation of that accident with some footage of crashed car and Interview police. But this was similar in past, when a tragic accident happend in France or far away from Austria, but our sport - Rallye - they ignore it during the year!

Condolences to family!
