It means 7 month break. Which could be very bad for progress of young driver. And there are a lot more.

IN FACT Mirek, we both agree. In my opinion Kopecky is "the material" for important things. He can drive full WRC2 season without problem. On the contrary Lappi could drive czech championship and learn a lot on the tarmac. What would happen if he fail to Pech? Nothing. Plus 4 rounds in WRC2 ...plus for example british championship paid by Skoda UK. Whatever. Just not so important rallies and much more quantity.

i don't think skoda forbids him to drive rally's on his own. he might have to find the budget himself, but thats the case for almost every driver.

Close Citroen-Hyundai battle, even today's last short stage could be important.

5. Ostberg +1:40.7
6. Meeke +1:42.1
7. Paddon +1:53.9
8. Neuville +1:56.5

i think i might well be that his fiesta is the most expensive of them all. rebuilding the chasis after every rally, rebuilding the suspension on average 2 times per rally, ... :p

Now let's see if Kopecký is allowed to overtake Tidemand. Since his morning technical problem he has done 1:05 on Tidemand on 6 stages (102 km).

I doubt it whilst Tidemand still has a chance at the title.

Looks like Kremer might be able to help out too.

Let's see. If Camilli keeps pushing then Kopecký can not just slow down and let him in front.

Ostberg loses time and drops below Meeke now, Hyundais getting closer to him...

Looking forward to tomorrow for the rest of that battle!
