No matter how beautiful this rally is looked upon, I donīt like it.
High speed, tarmac, rain. bumpy stages... I enjoy watching it from home, but have a serious feeling safety margins is zero, whatever it means for drivers, spectators etz.

This rally is far less bumpy than Barum. In our standards it's not bumpy at all except several short sections on Friday and Thursday night.
The Friday stages are partially same with Historic rally Vltava which has been very popular among Swedish or Finnish crews. You might ask some of them why they like it. Some are even here on the forum with us.
A PET just to get you in the mood... and this is the slowest Rally1 driver ! :disturb:

Pretty sure Serderidis will be slowest Rally1.
Apart from him I think it is quite possible that Munster will be faster than Pajari.
When they met head to head on tarmac last year in Croatia, Pajari was significantly faster than Munster in RC2. Think it will be interesting comparison between two of them at CER.
Is there someone visiting CER this weekend? Are u planning to visit Shakedown? It seems really different from the proper stages and also quite boring.
There are now recce videos of the stages on Rally-maps for anyone thats going.

Any news about wheather there?
Forecast says sunny and warm, but there has been some rain in Southern Germany and Czech Republic over the weekend, so it might stay muddy next to the road in the forest areas.
