The gap between Jänner Rallye and Rallye Krumlov won't have a positive effect on the apperance of czech drivers at the Jänner Rallye. But on the Luther side Rallye Sumava in mid May could be quite nice.

I´d rate Jänner Rallye in some kind of critical situation now. Not only because of your reason, but also because of the bad situation of Austrian rally scene at the Moment, the even earlier date 2014 than in the years before, and some more reasons, as the hefty increase of the costs of the rally pass or the more and more unstable weather at this time of the year in Austria (a snow rally can´t be expected anymore). It´s also said that the organizers made a big financial loss in 2013, and they can´t change the date, because they´re all doing it in their Christmas Holidays (no professional organisation team).

So I wouldn´t bet for Jänner Rallye to be still part of the Czech Championship and ERC in 2015!

To be absolutely honest I think that most of Czech teams don't like to have Jänner in the Czech championship. In my opinion most of those who start would start anyway even without the event counting for MM?R.

René Münnich (Fabia II Rallycross Supercar) won Sosnová show ahead of Št?pán Vojt?ch (Fiesta WRC of Prokop). He was some one second faster over almost four minutes long two final laps. It was like a beast against a figure skater, so much different the two cars are :)
