Mirek will they repair the road on the Malonty stage beginning at Cetviny, because than the stage (end) will be super super superfast. The stage will lose a lot of it's character, but it is really necassary to repair it because Actually the road is more a gravel than a tarmac road.
Wagner had a power steering issue on Friday evening. On the last stage he lost around 30 s with Engine problems. Will be interesting to see a rally when Mares and Wagner have a rally without problems and both drive flat out the whole rally.Quote:

SS Rožmitál (for me the nicest stage but it's in the night)
Jakeš: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10222.html
So far nothing from Kopecký and nothing from Lipno, another great stage.
Super crazy fast and challenging stage this malonty...Happy to see that miro jakes finally gets a chance in a competitive car, I had huge expectations on him after barum 2013 in evo9, but was a bit dissapointet about the performance in ds3...
I am curious if he is one of the rich kids, or if it is still possible to reach the top by performance in czech republic?
Some new ones.
SS Kohout with Pech (the stage where he was closest to Kopecký): https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10252.html
SS Rožmitál with Kopecký (again in the darkness): https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10244.html
SS Svince with Černý (very short half-circuit): https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10250.html
SS Lipno with Březík (gr.N winner, this stage is rather rough and for gr.N car pretty difficult, crash site of gr.N leader Ševčík is visible there): https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10254.html
Again onboards but something different. Very impressive ones from Jan Krejča with historic Škoda 130LR (FIA compliant car).

my photos from Most rallysprint
http://www.rally-mania.cz/photogallery.php?id=1536
Is Petr Semerad Martin's brother? How old is he?
The Most Rally finished with little interest. It seems that many crews after last year's cancelation didn't want to travel that far. Anyway Tarabus was very dominant in the rally building a solid lead but a puncture on the penultimate stage kicked him in the second position. Vlček therefore won. Radomír Kupec won 2WD in a dominant way. Kamenec retired with technical problems.
This time the stages were new for everybody which may explain why guys without experience with most of sprint events (Tarabus and Kupec for example) were so fast compared to others.
1. Vlček (Fiesta R5) 38:59,1
2. Tarabus (Fiesta R5) +29,8 (lost 46,6 with a puncture)
3. Trněný (Fabia WRC) +1:16,7
4. Trnovec (Fiesta R5) +1:51,5
5. Firla (Evo IX gr.N) +2:02,1
6. Kupec R. (Adam R2) +2:21,9
7. Smékal (DS3 R3T) +2:40,9
8. Pokorný (Fabia R5) +2:53,4
9. Zimmermann (Clio R3) +3:18,9
10. Nešetřil (997 GT3) +3:50,3
Yes, he is. He is 16 now.Quote:

Hopefully it brings more drivers for next year.

Live results from Rally Hustopeče tomorrow here: https://rally-base.com/2017/agrotec-...ustopece-2017/
First stage starts at 19:20 with 6 stages on Friday night and 6 on Saturday.
I forgot to post onboards from Most.
Tarabus SS4: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10287.html (lovely stage for me)
Horák (R2) SS8: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10291.html (another very nice stage)
Tarabus SS5: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...rdy/10293.html (very nice stage again, don't get confused by the first suuuuperfast minute)
There is only one chicane on all three normal stages. Not a usual thing for CZ. Also the stages are largely held on very smooth asphalt which is also quite different.
is it raining?
https://www.rally-base.com/2017/agro...60&ssGroupId=1
I was near finish of SS1 and there was some rain before start but wind made it dry out fast. Pech had some offs on ss2 I heard. So far great show. Now I made some walk and I am alone on maybe one km of stage, lol.
Kopecky Pech Grzyb lost 20 sec 32 sec 1 minute at ss 4 accordingly, and now leader is Tidemand 7 sec from Kopecky.
Tyre choices?
Both Pech And Kopecký with fl puncture on ss4.
Szeja passed with light ramp aiming 45 deg in the sky, lol.
Κοci faster from Kopecky and equal with Pech at ss5
Fuck, editing deleted my message. Seems it doesn't work on mobile.
Koči off on ss6, continues, otherwise no info about Tidemand, Tarabus etc. yet, but it was probably raining there as it was when I was leaving ss4. Kopáček broke wheel in spectator place on ss4. I passed his car on my way back.
According to http://rajdy.autoklub.pl/news/dramat...na-petla,77236 Kopecky, Pech and Grzyb had punctures at the same place!Quote:

Now it's cloudy in the area, again some showers are possible but likely for the afternoon. Probably no such mix like yesterday when there was each stage different weather.
I am close to the finish of the last stage and it's raining again.
What a great event it was! Changeable weather caused that it was both very spectacular and full of drama. Nearly nobody went through the rally without some mistake or problem. In the end Kopecký won ahead of Pech which looks pretty boring but in fact both went through their dramas as well (Kopecký puncture, Pech puncture and two offs). There was awesome fight today between Jakeš and Valoušek. Jakeš despite a spin on the first stage of today managed to get on the podium in the very last stage. Valoušek still won Slovak classification though because both Koči and Grzyb also suffered a puncture and weren't therefore anywhere close. To further describe what was going on I add Dohnal - struggling and only 11th after leg 1 but fastest overall in leg 2. Tarabus was surprisingly fast in the opening stages even setting 3rd time overall in the first night stage with old S2000! After that he suffered two punctures and I think that he wasn't pushing today. Also great battle in 2WD between Mareš and Wagner from the start till the last meter. Interesting fact - these two fastest juniors were also among the few crews who hit no dramas.
I have to say I was disappointed with Tidemand. I expected him to get faster with more stages but the opposite happened and even without the puncture he would probably have a hard time to get on the podium. In the end he finished fifth because Szeja didn't manage the pressure and dropped from 5th to 9th in the very last stage. But hey, Szeja is amateur driver with very little experience with R5 who started to the rally with No.19. Tidemand's best was three 3rd times in the first loop. After that 4th, 7th, 29th (puncture), 6th, 4th, 5th, 4th, 4th, 6th. That mean not a single stage in top three after first loop despite today five of six stages were totally dry and that there were even some gravel sections in the rally.
1. Kopecký (Fabia R5) 1:27:17,5
2. Pech (Fiesta R5) +41,2
3. Jakeš (Fiesta R5) +51,5
4. Valoušek (Fiesta R5) +54,3
5. Tidemand (Fabia R5) +1:53,0
6. Dohnal (Focus WRC) +1:54,6
7. Koči (Fabia R5) +1:59,4
8. Odložilík (Fiesta R5) +2:10,1
9. Szeja (Fiesta R5) +2:12,6
10. Grzyb (Fabia R5) +2:24,4
Notable retirements: Štajf (crash), Vlček (crash), Kopáček (crash). Out of 19 R5 which started in the event none suffered any major technical problem.
Very nice onboard of Grzyb from SS2 (2nd fastest), look at the muddy corner at 2:55. There were many accidents afterwards.

Nice video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD4rF2sVTmE
Check 2:55 Tarabus and compare with others. The old S2000 still has much better suspension than R5! It goes over those bumps like there are none while all R5 are bouncing around.
Not that I have any reason to defend Pontus, but can not this result be due to local knowledge (or lack of such), then I think first of all on the varying asphalt substrates.
Another great onboard out, Valoušek from half circuit stage 8. Very aggresive driving.

Superb video including a lot of accidents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78E1zddIMUI
Hey WRC1, where are Your photos? :p
Pontus is very well experienced factory driver with lot of experience in WRC and also some czech events.Quote:
