yes it there was a lot of jumps,it was like some airshow :-) Danhel jump was crazy-long and high jump with hitting a barrier after landing.it broke a front wheel which causes a retirement.

Nice video, the cameraman must have stood just next to me on SS5 (the fastest place in the video with gravel corners) It's just a bit pity there are no crazy moments of 2WD guys from there but I understand that the cameraman was probably in a hurry for SS6.

I'm suprised Octavias Wrc are still in use. They look so big compared to modern WRC cars Lappi lost only to one wrc car. Is this Kostka a good driver?

Octavia is for me one of the most spectacular cars ever because to turn the tank You must do it sideways

Kostka is circuit driver and brother-in-law of Roman Kresta. In the past years he usually did only Barum rally but in 2012 he started full rally campaign after his DTM negotiations failed. He won Czech sprintrally championship with C4 WRC but twice badly crashed as well (one C4 was completely destroyed). Some people say that he won only because of the car and it's true that it was by far the best but in Barum rally he showed that he learns fast. In one of the toughest editions (due to weather) he finished 3rd overall behind Hänninen and Kresta. For 2013 he planned some WRC events. In RMC he won shakedown of WRC2 but hit same stone as Lappi in SS1. Now I believe his starts with Fiesta WRC are a preparation for WRC Germany and France.

By the way in first section Lappi was the only one on cut slicks. He kept using them all rally.

I wonder if Skoda helps in any way to keep those old fashioned wrc cars still go in rallies. I mean, for example, if engine blows up or gear box brakes down, does the manufacturer still have some spare parts to sell to privaters or the car is just wasted?
