Pech returning to Porsche for the Rally Pačejov.
Entry list for Rally Pačejov: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=21838
Peták changed car to Fiesta WRC.
Jimmy McRae will drive as a VIP before the historic field.
Some onboard from Bohemia appeared finally, for example:
Jakeš SS4, the place where Kopecký went off is at 1:32: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw2FqPdZOxY
Štajf SS12, very difficult stage, especially the second half: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xd9G0Nw9gU
Jakeš SS19, the longest stage with hard slick on wet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ7SCenQVPc
And another video from the rally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUfI8pbreqA
Beautiful SS14 with Jakeš with massive big moment just after the start and another mistake near the end. This stage was back in the rally after 20 years. Just check the awesome jump at 2:58 (I was spectating in that section): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7hh8mhinv8
Dohnal easily won Rally Pačejov. Behind him Odložilík, Tarabus and surprisingly Rujbr were battling. Odložilík retired with broken suspension (Vlček with the same problem). Henning Solberg was co-driven by his wife and he was rather slow (he also made a mistake with setup and tyres for one section). Moreover he got 3 minutes penalty for being too early in TC (he said it was his mistake). Pech drove Jírovec's Porsche 997 but he wasn't able to keep with the R5 cars. In fact he was battling with top gr.N drivers not with the R5. There were many retirements and crashes therefore the final results look a bit unusual for Czech events...
Jimmy McRae drove two of his ex-cars as zero - Chevette and Manta from the collection of Jiří Jírovec. Jírovec also bought ex-Mäkinen's Evo VI from Henning.

This time I could not go therefore I only give info which was posted on the internet. I really like this event but my friend had a wedding yesterday :)
Video from the last section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHnvRyCmFy0
You can hear in the video Henning saying that the Pech's Fiesta is one of the best set-up asphalt cars he has ever driven.
By the way this rally may replace Příbram in next years main championshpip.
What is Pech saying when asked about comparison between R5 cars and Porsche 911?
