Tomáš Kostka will use Fiesta WRC in Rally Lužické Hory.
There was the official pre-season testing in Žiželice. I was out for a week so I can hardly comment what happened there. Anyway some interesting news to see:
Robert Kořístka (last year's sprint 2WD champion) switched for Evo IX of Orsák team.
Václav Dunovský is back to Ignis S1600.
Jiří Kalista, one of the fastest drivers of amateur series, showed for the first time in action his new historic Legacy gr.A (in Czech historic championships it's allowed).
Josef Zimmermann (last year 2nd 2WD in srpints) switched for Impreza gr.N.
Jiří Navrátil is back in historic Sierra Cosworth (Fiesta S2000 no more).
Martin Búš is new driver of Roto team for their Impreza gr.N.
And of course it was nice to see Mirek Jakeš again because he wasn't driving a lot lately...
Video (the stage is quite boring for spectators but very safe for crews and that is the main goal)

Is one of the articles autosport.cz released today based on facts, or are the all related to April 1st?

Anyway the entries are not bad considering the situation in our country (cca 100 crews including the cup).

I forgot one important thing - in sprints which are run according to the national rules the gr.N cars will use smaller restrictor for safety reasons - 32 mm like in the past. It's one of many reactions to what happened last year. R4 with more advanced suspension stay on 33 mm.
