    I am also afraid that this registration is only because of Barum. And for one car...

    Mr. Jírovec, owner of Václav Pech's Mini spoke about the future in an interview for Czech paper magazin Rally.

    According to him Pech will drive Rally Cyprus as a farewell to Mini. Since next season the plan is to compete in FIA R-GT Cup with Porsche 997 GT3. In this moment he isn't sure if they are able to start in Monte Carlo as it is probably too early. Besides that he will do some Czech events also with the Porsche. The R-GT plan is set for four years.

    Besides that Pech will drive Corolla WRC in Rally Legend.

    I see this as a downgrade,what do you think?of course he will compete with porsche in international level but the car is too slow compared to rrc which is a pure rally car.

    I guess a lot depends on the strength of the R-GT Cup going forwards. If the entry numbers begin to rise and we see name drivers competing then it could become a title worth winning, rather than a pleasant sideshow. I'm not sure if there are any additional entries planned for Germany beyond what we've already seen this year?

    Nice but a bit of a strange choice of event for Pech?

    If he has international ambitions I would like to have seen him have a go at ERC, Kajto has shown it is possible for a privateer to be successful there.

    It is expected that RRC cars will be banned next year at least on international level. Besides that they are enormously expensive and I think that for the same money which the whole RGT cup will cost he would not be able to do anything significant in ERC with 4WD.

    I have heard from a very reliable source that Porsche themselves are getting very interested in the RGT Cup. Expect to see some manufacturer supported entries very soon.

    That sounds very promising. I'm sure Romain Dumas has been acting as a great cheerleader for RGT to his employers.

    What is really needs is another car for them to battle against on a regular basis.

    May be they'll do something with the German Porsche rally drivers?!?
