Czech rally news

[Mirek]

Bohemia used to have quite a lot of money in the past and they paid many Scandinavian crews to come (at least I believe so). There were later several changes in the event leadership and also the financial situation got worse with all that mess in Czech rallying. It's not so long time a go when they tried for WRC or at least IRC. That was in time when IRC was strongest and Barum therefore as well. I don't think Barum popularity has any real impact on Bohemia situation. It's completely different part of country, completely different sponsors etc. I guess it has more to do with the overall bad situation in our rallying.

In the past, foreign drivers were going to Bohemia because they had good financial conditions from organiser, was persuaded by strong persons (like John Haugland) or the rally was part of some other championship (Polish championship, DRS, European Cup). This year Rally Bohemia is only part of Czech championship, no other series. I dont know if there is date clash with similar event in Norway or Denmark. Another problem is, that in other national championships there is less money than in the past and for crews is more difficult to go abroad.

I hope Czech fans are already organising themselves to be at stage start and ends at Bohemia to record Lappi's times?

It s really nice design. i cant wait to see it live.If i understand well Wiegand will have also this livery on his Fabia.
Do we know if R5 test car will stay in white ( i hope for it) or it will have some colours?

Very nice, hope they keep it.

I doubt so. It's just for a celebration of 40 years of "RS" and that's the reason why they used colors of the very first one (200RS from 1974 - on the upper picture).

I love this livery! It's old school, simple, dynamic and, in a way, a little "brutal" too
Skoda should use it on their cars in ERC instead of this boring white
