It's possible that they add some foreign event to the program but it's not fixed now. Depends on the progress I think.

I hope Julian Wagner is doing full championship.
Wow now that GEKO Racing stopped the Peugeot 208 Cup, I count 11 crews running with these cars on 2018 Valasska Rallye :crazy:
The most important question now is the weather. Currently the conditions are similar to Monte Carlo. A bit of snow in places and a lot of ice.
Yesterday the annual test stage Žiželice took place with several dozens of crews preparing for the new season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGkMdj9yM1w
Unfortunately none from the very top crews was present but on the other hand for example both fast Wagner brothers were.
Test of Veiby including small accident: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y00ahZy4WXY
Tomorrow before noon Valašská Rally and the 2018 Czech Championship season starts. Link to the live results: https://rally-base.com/2018/kowax-va...y-valmez-2018/
Currently there is no snow left on the stages but some ice patches in the morning are still possible due to night temperatures getting bellow zero. Otherwise during the day the temperatures shall be around +5°C and the weather shall be partially cloudy with no precipitations. The roads are generally very dirty after the winter, especially smaller ones. The route is very difficult and features rather crazy variety in stages. For example SS1 is mostly crazy fast wide road with some chicanes, SS2 is extremely technical Alpine-style road with hairpins from start to finish) and SS3 is changing every few hundred meters from small broken and dirty roads to wide flat sections including many passes through villages. There is definitely a lot of spectacular places on stages and You can expect great videos :)
Nobody following this?
Kopecky dominated leg one but I thought Veiby did pretty well given his relative lack of experience on these stages.
what happened to Pech at ss 8?
