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 :)

For Kostka it's most likely test for Barum.
Live results from Rally Pačejov tomorrow starting at 8:58 here: http://rally-base.com/2016/eplcond-r...-pacejov-2016/

1. Dohnal (Focus WRC) 39:52,6
2. Kostka (Fabia R5) +31,4
3. Odložilík (Fiesta R5) +1:01,1

Kostka impressed me again...IMO he is waisting time on circuits, as he is huge rally talent. Looking forward to see him on Barum.Quote:

Onboard from Pačejov are here: http://www.mediasport.cz/rally/ceske...dy.html?page=1
I recommend this one from arguably the best stage of our rallysprint season: http://www.mediasport.cz/rally/ceske...ardy/9437.html
Same stage with Kostka (second run). I can't help myself but in the first part of the stage the notes from co-driver come very often too late.

Jakeš just confirmed his end in Gemini team.
Interesting.Quote:

Most rallysprint is also canceled. It will be held only as a limited show event. The only remaining uncanceled event Rally Vsetín will take place normally.
But this time the biggest mistake is on side of organisers, who didnt show enough effort to organise a proper event...
I thought it was mainly the ASN who pushed them to do something they didn't want themselves.
I thought so, but true is different. But it is better not to write it through the forums...Quote:

Pech leading.
SS5 canceled due to too high average speed in first pass.
A rain in the last section caused Pech to loose the lead to Dohnal. Final results:
1. Dohnal (Focus WRC) 1:16:45,9
2. Pech (Porsche 997 GT3) +26,1
3. Štajf (Fabia R5) +1:18,7
4. Černý (Fabia R5) +1:40,0
5. Vlček (Fiesta R5) +4:20,4 (1:25 penalty)

7. Szeja (Impreza STI gr.N) +5:18,1
8. Sýkora (Evo IX R4) +5:38,2
9. Březík (Evo IX gr.N) +5:49,8 (10 sec penalty)
10. Tomek (Fabia S2000) +6:20,8 (5 sec penalty)
First onboards already online: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk.../onboardy.html
Video from Příbram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ssmAImJjUs
By the way based on some photos in Příbram Pech used Pirelli tyres on the front and Michelin on the rear axle. They have been trying various tyres and their combinations through the whole season.
Entry list for the last proper rally of the season and the last event of the Rallysprint Series - Rally Vsetín: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=18741
Many surprises there especially with unusual car choices for many drivers.
Online results from Vsetín: https://rally-base.com/2016/bonver-p...y-vsetin-2016/
Final results of Rally Vsetín, the last proper event in CZ:
1. Vlček (Fiesta R5) 38:09,1
2. Bisaha (Fabia R5) +9,3
3. Melichárek (Fabia R5) +17,7
4. Grzyb (Fiesta R5) +25,8
5. Tlusťák (Fabia R5) +57,2 (5 sec pen.)
6. Kupec (208 R2) +1:52,4
7. Mareš (208 R2) +2:05,5
8. Smékal (DS3 R3T) +2:25,5
9. Kořístka (Impreza STI gr.N) +2:35,7
10. Firla (Impreza STI gr.N) +2:28,4
Most notable retirement was Březík's small accident already in the first corner of the rally. For sure he wanted to enjoy his first ever R5 start a bit longer. Otherwise quite interesting event with many of the top crews with unusual cars. What is especially nice for me is that Kupec and Mareš managed to do some crazy times with R2 cars!
Nice video from the rally including accident of Šikl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGeVtPHtGA
Great video from JNK including a full coppy of Botka's crazy Barum accident by Mikulaštík: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eblzyqGijdk
Sosnová show which is going to take place 19.-20.11. revealed some big names!
Marcus Grönholm (WRC car)
Markku Alén (WRC car)
Massimo "Perdo" Pedretti (Delta S4)
Luigi "Lucky" Battistolli (Lancia 037)
And by the way the overall Rally sprint 2017 winner (the Cup +2 to say it properly) is Martin Vlček.
Sad news. Libor Joska, former co-driver of Josef Peták and 2008 Czech rallysprint champion passed away after from an illness.
Marcus Grönholm in Sosnová with Corolla WRC and Markku Alén with Fabia WRC.
Entry list for Sosnová: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=18913
Marcus Grönholm can't start due to some injury. Markku Alén and Václav Pech will drive the already prepared Corolla WRC for show instead.
