Praga Hostivař, heavy duty gearboxes, hydraulic systems.
I think that Your army uses some GAZ Tigr vehicles. If they have 6-speed manual gearbox, than it's from Praga ;)

You're right. I completely forgot about that. Also about this circuit beauty from Dutch Supercar Challenge:
http://cs.praga-club.com/graphics/ar...e-vraci-86.jpg
Basis is Slovak K1 Attack car powered by Radical RPE 3.2 V8 (two Suzuki Hayabusa engines joined into V8) . Power is cca 520 Hp.
Seeded entry lists for Valašská Rally:
MMCŘ http://www.valasskarally.eu/index.ph...i-isla-mmr-pdf
PČR (cup): http://www.valasskarally.eu/index.ph...isla-pohar-pdf
I think that the entries could hardly be better both in names and cars (for example 11 S2000) :)
^ Very nice indeed!
Is Mirek Jakes still on "standby" on rallies? Or is he doing sprints only?
I think that he is out of money...
Many polish crews coming as neighbours I see ;)
Which would be a shame since he have good dose of talent mixed in his driving. I hope him best.Quote:

Yes, he will do some ERC, some Czech events with Fabia S2000, some with Lancer WRC and some with Lada VFTS.
By the way Martin Semerád confirmed with Lotus officially. The bad thing is that it's all postponed to June. He will use it in sprints this year. It was also revealed officially that driver of the second car is Slovak gentleman Igor Drotár.
Program of Pavel Valoušek was revealed. He will do Valašská Rally, Rallye Saturnus (Slovenia), Rallye Český Krumlov, Rally Bohemia, Barum Rally. Although the program can be changed it seems sure he won't do sprints. New co-driver is Lukáš Kostka, former co-driver of Miroslav Březík (C2 R2 Trophy).
For Valašská rally Pavel will use a car from Hungarian Tagai Racing Technology. Valašská wasn't in the original plans and therefore Kronos doesn't have new 2012 kit ready. Photos from the test: Autosport : OS - Test - Pavel Valoušek před Valaškou
Nice news, Mirek!Quote:

Some of You may recognize the road which is a connection to spectator points B, C of stage Semetín, Barum rally (jumps).

No reason to do sprints...Quote:

I don't know.
Very very spectacular testing video of Pavel Valoušek from one of the best Czech rally roads - stage Troják of Barum rally :)

^ So it's okey to run tests on a road that will most likely be used in future event? As if Valda wouldn't know the road already...
It is forbidden to test on stages of a particular rally only after the supplementary regulations are released. It's still half a year to Barum. It's common to use stages for testing because it is usually easier to get permission there and also because it's better for comparison with previous experiences.Quote:

Results of Valasska Rally - Bonver Vala
Ouch !!! Valousek lost 12" to Kopecky on SS1 :s
Great time by Kopacek. This guy looks really promising
Nice time SS2 by Cerny :bounce:
Why no start SS3 yet :confused:
Results are pretty much what was to be expected.. Only Jaro Tarabus could show some very good pace indeed. Is there something wrong with Valda or Evo12??
Maybe the reason is the new co-driver?Quote:

So, in SS3 before start crews seen private cars on the road, maybe guys like Mirek or PLuto can confirm this... Also Odlozilik had big crash from what i know
What happened to Kristiansen in the Fabia R2 on ss2?
This rally is one big chaos. The organizer expected about 50 crews, but here is about 100 crews! IMO this is the main problem. Time schedule was created for lower amount of cars. In the start time of SS3, there was almost any pause between last cars starting to SS1 and first cars starting to SS3. And moreover, one of the very last cars crashed and noone have known if it is stucked over the road or not. Then there had to be some break, because some bus link was crossing the stage (last years there was no problem with that, because there was enough time between first and second loop).In this moment there was delay about 20-30 minutes and there was only time for two zero cars before the Vaclav Pech´s start. Following situation is very strange to me. I understand that Pech (nbr 1) refused to start because of cool tires & car. I think it would be also very dangerous, because specators were almost everywhere, in dangerous places etc. I also heard from some guys in service park that there was some civil car on the stage... so, finally the stage was cancelled and the drivers just went through to next stage ( and this was delayed by 54 minutes...)Quote:

Because of many cars, there are service places in both parts of service. Time controll is on that narrow driveway, refuelling zone is somewhere next to time controll...amazing. Drivers were more than hour and half late in service. They were really tired, hungry and most of all angry.
He had his moment on second stage. He has overheated brakes, so he had to use handbrake in some difficult corner. He went off to some waterlogged field and couldn´t get back for a few minutes. Anyway, he is great guy! I´ve helped him with few thnigs before the start and through the rally and I am happy to see him on my home event (even it´s the worst rally I´ve ever seen, in case of organisation.Quote:
