Jakeš had more points from all starts but as two worst results are nulled Jakeš lost it to Odložilík who had better car (Xsara WRC and Fabia S2000).

1. Jakeš (Evo IX half-R4) 40:58,3
2. Odložilík (Fabia S2000) +29,5
3. Sýkora (Fiesta R5) +35,9
4. Cvr?ek (Fabia S2000) +56,2
5. Dohnal (207 S2000) +57,6
6. Tlus?ák (Fabia S2000) +1:29,4
7. Adolf (Fabia S2000) +1:33,8
8. B?ezík (Evo IX N4) +1:42,1
9. Pešl (Evo IX N4) +1:50,1
10. Trnovec (Fabia S2000) +1:51,0

What about sykora? It is benigno dificult to be in the pace of s2000...car? Driver?

Major retirements: Grzyb (Fabia S2000) - engine, Tomaštík (Impreza WRC S7) - engine. Trn?ný (Fabia WRC) changed wheel on one stage from 6th place. By the way 86 crews finished!

Here a great onboard of Jakeš from SS1. It's part of well known Barum stage Semetín, very dirty. Jakeš took a major lead already there :vader:

Sýkora lost most of the time in the first loop where he was not feeling confident as I heard. There was some fog (SS2) and quite many wet and dirty places (mainly SS1). Both stages are also very hard and narrow (second onboard of Jakeš is the same stage as SS2 but second run). Later Sýkora was clearly faster than Odložilík and was closing to him in every stage. On the other hand Odložilík could finish even third to be champion. In my opinion Sýkora is better driver than Odložilík but Jakeš is better than both.

SS1 is part of Barum rally stage Semetín and both Kostka and Valoušek were totally of the pace there during Barum rally as well. I think that it will take some time to set Fiesta R5 properly for typical stages in this area. With Fiesta S2000 it took a long time as well when Tarabus was driving one of Prokop's team. Last year Flodin with Fiesta S2000 from Petter Solberg's team was also off the pace and in my opinion it had also a lot to do with setup.

I have a question to the czech forum members. Will the results of the national elections have influence of the future of rallysport in the CR?

I don't think there would be any direct impact on rallysport. The only thing I can say for sure now is that from these results no stable government can be created unless some parties change their pre-ellection stances. Let's see what comes out of this mess.

Some info about Setkaní Mistr? in Sosnová circuit.

Interesting info: Š.Vojt?ch with Fiesta WRC and Rally Dakar vehicle will be included

I be there for both days.
