The shakedown is going to be on Prague outskirts. Most likely on one stage known from Prague Rallysprint.

Hello,

Also would like to know the good spots to spectate!

Maybe it has been said elsewhere but 15 women have been selected for a training at M-Sport Poland next week: 3 of them will be selected to make a Rally3 drive in Central Europa Rally and in the end, one will be selected for a Junior WRC program next year.

Took a brief look at their results on ewrc as I knew only the name of 3 of them: sounds like Raftery has much more experience than the others (but limited potential).

Also a question mark about which male drivers will be there to have something to compare … probably Filip Kohn at least.

1. Yes, it's somehow tolerated during the rally, better if the owner agrees.

2. From each stage there will be onboard video soon. For now, you can watch last year's videos. However, not many of this year's stages were on itinerary in 2023. E.g. powerstage is 90% the same as the 2023 version.


Shakedown - 100% new

SS1 - same as last year

SS 2/3/6 Klatovy - 90% is new, only the first kilometre of the stage is the same as before.

SS 4/7 Strasin- 100% new stage, approx. 15 km of the stage is in the opposite direction to last year's stage.

SS5/8 Sumavske Hostice - 80% of this stage was run last year, 20% is new.

SS 9/12 Granit und Wald - 100% new stage

SS10/13 Beyond Borders - 85% new stage, last 2km in the opposite direction, 15% same as last year,

SS11/14 Schardinger Innviertel - 100% new stage, last 5 km in the opposite direction

SS15/17 Hochwald - 100% new stage

Last year this YT channel made "recce" videos for all the stages:

Maybe he is going to do it again this year, if not it is still worth looking at a few of them as not the whole route is new.

The 3 winners of the Beyond Rally program with the prize drive in Central Europa in Fiesta Rally3.
A bit surprising not to see Raftery which was the most experienced.

Not an easy one for Schonborn to almost begin in straight rally with a WRC round (just one e-rally so far where she did rather good).
