That's the recent rumor in CZ...
Anyway I think that this time we will see non-Škoda winner after five years.Last edited by Mirek; 21st July 2014 at 11:06.

I guess you mean Pech..
It's a tough choice for Skoda.. do you throw everything at it or do you back down and 'prepare for the future'
Still, I believe Lappi is capable of challenging. He's come on a lot since last year.

Pech is top-favorite yes, regarding his fast times (beating Kopecky) in Czech championship so far. But you never know what Abbring can do if his car proves reliable. He's been doing development-tests in France lately, on roads similar to Barum Rally, and claimed he did 900 kms without a single reliability issue...

They got a solution for the rear window, Plangii and Kruuda used differount mounts between spoiler and window, and it seems no window got cracked? And there were enough jumps to do that.

I doubt that, it were different mounts...

By the way, has DS3 R5s had any rear window problems? Mounting is similar to 208R5.
There were jumps in Otepää, but not as many as I expected. Bumpy Zlin roads might be harder. The proper gravel jump test will come in next week.Photos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC

AFAIK Jakeš had no issues with the rear window of DS3 R5 and he already did three events in CZ.
The difficulties he mentioned were connected to default differential and suspension setup unsuitable for Czech roads.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
Thanks Eddie. I don't know how it is in other countries but it would be pretty disappointing if all we got in the UK was Youtube highlights if you haven't got the Rally TV app!
