Jakeš won't start.

Why so?

So this rally runs near Barum's Semetin stage?

[Mirek]

Yes, it's on the other Bečva riverbank which is virtual border between Barum and Vsetín

Finally nice weather although still very cold after many years of problems with snow or rain in Vsetín Slovak Jaroslav Melichárek won and proved that WRC suits him much more than Gr.N car. His progress this year was for me very surprising. You can see very thin time differences on other places with 3rd-5th place separated by 2,1 seconds etc. It's also nice to see that Tlusťák's good times from last leg of Antibes weren't just occasional. The only retirement from the top was Karel Trněný who lost wheel of his Octavia WRC.

2WD title was decided in quite sad way when Václav Dunovský was penalized for braking a chicane by 30 seconds (we have rules for that here). He needed to win to gain the title but this way he was 28 seconds slower than Petr Brynda who won the title. It could have been epic battle for the title.

1. Jaroslav Melichárek - Lancer WRC 05
2. Grzegorz Grzyb - Fabia S2000 +12,3
3. Josef Peták - Peugeot 207 S2000 +22,7
4. Jaroslav Orsák - Evo IX +24,3
5. Antonín Tlusťák - Fabia S2000 +24,8
6. Jan Jelínek - Evo IX +35,6
7. Silvestr Mikulaštík - Octavia WRC +56,0
8. Roman Odložilík - Fabia S2000 +56,6
9. Jan Sýkora - Evo IX +1:18,0
10. Igor Drotár - Fabia WRC +1:19,5
11. Jaromír Tomaštík - Impreza WRC S12B +1:24,6
12. Lumír Firla - Evo VII +1:34,7
