We've made some efforts with car setup, so it was much much better than previous year. It is hard to find specs for Czech tarmac, at least we can joke that it feels like home :)
And of course competition with Kopetsky was extremely interesting.
Sorry for the mistake at last stage, but still we are happy that we were able to keep the pace during the event
I was so gutted when that happened, you both were outstanding from start to finish, on it on every stage, spectacular but not too crazy (in comparison with Ypres, that was over the limit I think :D). Like here ( https://www.facebook.com/TACrally/vi...6495155762958/ )on this fast section you probably won one second on the whole competition just by pushing the pedal to the metal! It's crazy to see the progression of Alexey after 6-7 asphalt events, he was definetaly on par with Kopecky, master of Barum with the best car, a factory one developed on such stages. Hats off!Quote:

Big fan of yours, the great onboards, the spirit of Luky, his driving style and the emotions of him and his funny dry comments when he gets interviewed. Rallying needs someone like him! You would think I've some sort of mancrush on him :D
Thank You. You did an awesome job with the setup. I can say that from my observation Your car worked better over the bumps and rough surface than the car of Jan Kopecký. The last stage was kind of WTF moment for us as we were waiting in the last fast corner of the rally for You and Jan. Shit happens. Anyway thanks for the great show and excitement!Quote:

at least we tried.
yeap! for sure,but as we have mention for Barum its a bit different for this kind of asphalt,against factory crew and car with no limits at testing/budget.Quote:

Big progress for both of You,hope to keep competing and surprise us positively.
btw i am the guy i was mentioned the size of your ''balls'' sitting next to Lucas at last years Acropolis at service park.http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...es/biggrin.gif
@Lehus Btw, I was the only one having you and Luky on 1st place in Pickems before Barum... ;)
Gutted when steering broke. Hope to see you guys in top car and on top level in the future.
