[Fiat-131-Abarth]

Can we already make a list of drivers that will definitively be present in the big czech championship this year?

I presume that fllowing drivers will be present:
Pech (Evo Change to R4 during the season?)
Valousek (Fabia)
Kresta (Fabia?)
Petak (207)
Tlustak (Fabia)
Cerny? (Evo?, Clio?, Fiesta R2?)
Stajf (Impreza)
Behalek (Impreza)
Orsak?

Maybe yes. Orsák propably Evo IX, Kresta - Fabia S2000. Pech Evo IX, because Mitsubishi work R4 only Evo X. And Pech confirmed with Evo IX here: http://sport.idnes.cz/pechovi-pribyl...motorsport_rou - last section.

Just out of intrest... Is there any single big reason why there isn't any top drivers using EVO X in Czech championship(s)?

Back when the Evo X was introduced in Finland I remember how many top drivers didn't like it at all. They had major problems getting the suspension to do what they wanted etc. stuff. After first season they got the feeling right and started to make results. Same there but it has just prolonged?

[Ondra WRC]

No big reason. I would say that the Evo X is not suitable for the Czech track. Evo IX is better suited to the Czech track. But maybe Semerad Rally Team build Evo X

The most important reason is that everyone knows how to build Evo IX and how to make it competitive for reasonable price. In the same time noone has experience with Evo X and people don't believe in it, mostly because few attempts failed. But anyway no top Evo X was built here.

LOL

I can still remember how one rally VHS casette from the early 90s had a scene of a little dog running straight under one Lancia Integrale somewhere in Italy I guess. Surprisingly nothing happened and it survived. But I was really scared every time and didn't want to see the scene when I was a really small kid (~3-5 years old) in the early 90s. LOL
