Kresta himself never said TRT car wasn't good. It was more general forum stance than anything real.

I'd love to see him winning Barum :) ...and Toth finishing in top6

Now it is official - World first run of Škoda Fabia S2000 prototype at Barum Rally Zlín!

From what team would Tomas Kostka rent the 207 S2000 he'll use on Barum ??? :confused:

Remind me tomorrow pls, I forgot to ask for it :)

Can't wait for the rally to start :bounce:

Silvestr Mikulastik (N14) will probably not start as he damaged his car on test. Also Lukas Pondelicek (C2 R2) will not start as he crashed heavily on Rally Prachatice this weakend. Some doubts are about Martin Semerad who also rolled in Prachatice. The team is trying hard to repair the car...

And of course Brice Tirabassi won't be there neither :mark:

First IRC tarmak outing for Krum Donchev this year. After winning Rally Bulgaria with his new 207 S2000, two weeks ago he managed to take another win agains Dimitar Iliev for the national championship. He was 3.6 seconds faster. Here is close look of his car

Is this the final livery for Barum?

I think not... that was the livery he used in Rally Sofia, his first event with the 207 from Racing Lions...
Now his car is a little bit different...

I suppose his car will be like this..

How come no livery for Ojeda?

Probably it will be done later ;)

Change of car for Tomáš Kostka. Will drive Abarth instead of Peugeot.

Tóth, Tlusťák and Kostka testing:

According to Autoklub.pl Perico will be missing too :(

Does that mean Grzyb or Tarabus won't be there? Or JM Engineering has 3 puntos? :confused:

Kostka should drive some Italian Punto. Probably it wasn't in Czech republic yesterday.

Lubomír Minařík is missing too.

It's a pity Robert and Perico absence in Barum :(

What about Semerad Jr. ? they recovered his car?

I think Semerad jr. will start.

Yes, the car should be ok.

Jan Šlehofer will drive second - older Punto S1600 as his orange car is said not to be repaired after Pelhřimov crash. Therefore Jiří Skoupil who should drive the second one will not start.

You see "Panizzi" is named in the back windows on The Punto at the Kostka test :D

I hope that Kopecky will run shakedown and that the time will be published :)

Pitty the forfeits :(

But rally is still promising a great show :p :

Help please...

Can somebody help me? How much the pass and I can pay with EUR ?

Thanks.

The entrance card is 170 kč (approx. 7.5 euros)and you can access all stages, service and so on. Last year I paid in kč, but they probably accept Euros also.

Tóth will probably use the same settings as Kresta. Kresta is satisfied with test and TRT work :)
