Mirek, Prague is always worth a trip for us. We again came over with the girls, they went shopping, we took a Taxi to Velka Chuchle. Just for 2 hours, meeting people, smelling gas, viewing action. And got afterwards a wonderfull afternoon & night @the city! Sunday was for sightseeing. Will come again, if stadium or not.Quote:

No HANS for P-G and Emil. Yes, for years rallies have been run without, but still I think this is slightly odd. Though, is there any driver who prefers to run with HANS if it wasn't for its safety purpose. Anyway, nice and slippery onboard, top speeds around 170 km/h.Quote:

Entry list (actually without numbers) to Mikulas Rally Slusovice - Autosport
Emil Triner will continue next year with Fabia A5 (and probably more races than this year)
yeah, thanks
They had HANS.. you can see it under Emil belt, the black thing there around the shoulder.. and on PG you can see it were the fastener for the belt are.Quote:

Is it a chance to see Kostka in next season in MMCR or in MCR-S?
I think it will be the same like previous years, just occasional drives - Barum Rally and some rally shows.
It was really spectacular show even despite a bit worse entry list it. Tlusťák, both Béreš father and son or Bujáček were making the show. Kostka was extremely effective but at the last non-competitive stage he showed he can be very spectacular as well. Also very nice driving by Elwis Chentre who was at league of his own. The only possible opponent Minařík had moreover a puncture...

I think it will be more.
Generally best international Citroën Racing Trophy drivers win a "driving trip" to Rallye du Var, last round of french tarmac championship(like last year)and possibly a participation to rallye Monte-Carlo the following year... ;)
Citroën originally presented an international DS3 cup for IRC events, than (after the calendar was shown) they changed it to WRC events and it seems they canceled it at all.
Jaromír Tomaštík bought Impreza WRC S12 from Erik Wevers, car No.3 ex-Huzink. He will use it in our rallysprint championship. More good news to come when it's possible to reveal them :)
Will there be any surprises on Valasska? :) From Poland should be few drivers (maybe Koltun with Fiesta S2000, Kornicki with DS3)
I think that the biggest surprise is not possible to make so early. Probably in Šumava. But for sure it will be known by the time of Valašská rally ;)
For Valašská rally there are some changes in stages which I don't like. I heard the long stage around Bystřička is cut into two with one as a half circuit around the lake. One normal stage (last year under name Straník I think) is than substituted by some new city stage in Valašské Meziříčí. I heard it will be held in former military blocks.
What program and what car for Jozef Petŕk this season :confused:
He will drive Clio R3 in MMČR (I'm not sure about sprints). His Peugeot is sold.
By the way
JoZef = Slovakian (for example Béreš ;)
JoSef = Czech (Peták) ;)

Just out of curiosity... today there was an ice-hockey match in Zlín between two teams of people involved in rallying.
One team with coach Miloslav Regner (director of Barum rally) and captain Roman Kresta. The other with coach Jan Regner (son of Miloslav, FIA safety delegate), captain Tomáš Kostka. Team Kresta won 8:3. Among other players there were Jelínek, Barvík, Brynda brothers, Peták, Kneifel, Svačina, Dunovský, Gavlák, Kouřil, Norek, Tureček, Firla, Navrátil or John_V from autosport.cz You may know from this forum :)

Some news about Valasska Rally, for those who would like to come :
Shakedown will be the same as last year (imo realy great stage)
On friday afternoon, there will be Špičky and Helfštýn stage (those were run on saturday morning last year) , but in opposite direction.
On saturday morning, there will be another stage from last year, Puntík, (SS1/SS3 last year) also reversed, plus stage Odry ( it was run 2010 for the last time).
On saturday afternoon there will be half circuit stage Juřinka ( 2009 for the last time) and different version of Bystřička stage. It looks like it will be also half circuit stage, as Mirek said.
It looks like Jan lehofer is replaced with Václav Kopáček in Roto Impreza. We'll see what happens with lehofer but I fear he won't drive this season. Anyway for Kopáček it's a nice chance to show something in a big car. He is definitely crazy enough.
Next week an official pre-season shakedown in ielice (at the motorway D11 Prague - Hradec králové, exit Chlumec nad Cidlinou). It's something like a all day testing over one stage run in both directions. Some 25 cars are expected. Nothing really extra is known so far. Václav Dunovský and Jiří Navrátil will be there with their new S2000 cars. Václav Kopáček first time with Impreza. Otherwise mostly small cars. I will be there because my sister lives just two kilometers away from there.
