Nice onboard of Pech from the penultimate stage: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...ardy/9975.html (at least this one is not completely flooded by chicanes)

It seems he is taking it easy, or is it just my impression?
Anyway even if maybe it is not the best lense to show the speed, I really like this camera view, it shows you better the lines and the approach to the corners.

Yes, it seems to be nowhere near his onboards with Mini or Lancer but this was his first event in R5 while he sat for years in the other cars. On the other hand Kopecký's onboards with R5 don't look that fast either. Maybe it has something to do with the R5 cars. I definitely preferred S2000 onboards over R5 but on stages R5 are mostly more spectacular for spectators.

Maybe it is the camera's lense... I'm not expert but I'm sure it is enough a little editing to the grade of the lense and the impression is very different.

For comparison here Kopecký from another stage: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...ardy/9977.html

It's largely boring stages with many chicanes but there are some nice parts in it though. The onboard looks mostly very relaxed except few moments but the impression from outside wasn't like that.

It gives you a more reliable idea of the speed IMHO, the camera is a bit backward and the lense seems a bit more wide, simulating better the human eye.
A pity all those chicane! The streets can be boring but I think, in a technical point of view they are very interesting to watch the details.

One more onboard, this time Jakeš from SS1 with a crash just three corners before the finish. He was second fastest behind Kopecký at that moment. The stage is again full of chicanes but there are still some very nice high speed crests there: https://www.mediasport.cz/rally/cesk...ardy/9973.html

By the way Jakeš praised Fiesta a lot. He said that compared to the DS3 it is a lot better car, especially suspension.

New car for Dan Zpěvák, in the past 208 R2 and Ignis S1600 driver.

First time since his Mitsubishi times, that a Jakes onboard looks really fast. I'm really sorry for him, that he rolled, he would deserve a good result.
Mirek do you know why Vallasska always comes back to the czech championship? Few years ago they had problems with the Organisation every year. Now the stages are compared to other rallys in CR really bad. And it is quite ridiculous that a third of the rally was held on "artificial stages" on the Tatra testing grounds.
