Kopecký took the lead after SS4 and is leading Pech by 4"7. Tarabus is third (+29"4). Very fast time for Jan Černý in SS4, 2nd with a R2 car.
There was a short light rain in SS4 after first crews and thanks to silly starting order some 2WD profited from it. Later in the night there was a storm which brought a lot of dirt and mud on the roads of second leg. Great fight anyway because Pech is now back in the lead. I think there are three main factors - Hustopeče were always his strong rally - it's very good rally for turbo cars with good acceleration from zero and high top speed (Pech was able to win against S2000 there even in Evo IX) - and finally the team did a lot of development work on the Mini.
Regarding the Mini here is an interesting quote from Pech
By the way Černý now lost over 5 minutes in SS6.Quote:
I'm absolutely satisfied with the car. I don't want to speak too soon but we managed to fix the bugs mainly ourselves without the help of the English. It's our team product. A satisfaction is that now Proidrive wants to copy our ideas but we won't tell them anything of course because they didn't tell us a s.h.i.t. too.
After a thrilling battle Jan Kopecký completes his hattrick on this rally. Nobody except Kopecký is now able to follow Pech and his Mini now. The days of naturally aspirated S2000 slowly become a past...

No stage names or lengths yet. Last stage on Saturday starts rather late. Perhaps it's first a loop of three repeated, then one stage run twice in the evening.
Very nice onboards from Hustopece in Mediasport.cz - especially from Kopecky and Pech. :up: Very interesting stages with tricky sections, although at times a lot of straights.
