As usually top quality from JNK and as usually stage by stage in chronological order.
One small thing. I guess some of You remember the old narrow Návarov bridge with wooden floor from many Czech rally and testing videos. This bridge is no more. After 66 years they replaced this famous provisional bridge in Návarov valey by new one (4:32 in the video). The provisional one was built in 1949 because the Germans blew the original one up. The bridge was a standard unit used by US Army Engineers.
Great video and thanks for history lesson :)
Kopecky's car seems super-powerful, have they had some engine software update recently maybe?
Great video!. This is crazy - https://youtu.be/jebXNhQYQe8?t=511Quote:

Notice that there are quite many places where Pech reaches the top speed of the Porsche while on the same places R5 can't reach even it's a lot lower top speed. Pech also drives very clean with absolute minimum of drifting. On the other hand Kopecký keeps sliding a lot more but it's also because the first run was more wet and he was on slicks. Also notice how much Kopecký suffers from understeering in the first corners. It's because the stage was postponed (due to a storm) and his tyres got cold. Generally Pech's onboard is a lot smoother and cleaner while Kopecký's is quite brutal and flamboyant.
Onboard of Pech from the true northern classic stage of Rally Bohemia (including the bridge shortly before the finish), full wet conditions: http://www.mediasport.cz/rally/ceske...ardy/9345.html
Big moment of Kopáček: http://www.mediasport.cz/rally/ceske...ardy/9295.html
Martin Vlček after his surprising premiere in Rally Bohemia confirmed that he intends to stay with the R5 machinery (next confirmed event is Barum rally). He was very happy about the Fiesta and it was clear he was in a way surprised how much fun it can be compared to solving neverending technical problems with the old Fabia WRC.
And who has not enough of Pech's onboards can watch this one: http://www.mediasport.cz/rally/ceske...ardy/9366.html
Rally Krušné Hory (a free event to be held next week) is canceled due to lack of entrants.
One of the most spectator friendly event Rally Pačejov (30th July) has revealed its entry list. I would say worth spectating :)
