Was Valais in the Czech championship this year? Or just a strong presence?

[Mirek]

Valais is 900 km from Czech republic with a little place called Germany between us and Switzerland Maybe You meant Jänner?

All Czechs who started in Valais (Tarabus, Orsák, Tlusťák and Hudec) were ERC regulars this year.

Tyre warmers not allowed!
Handcutting not allowed in WRC, in ERC only when bad weather conditions and after CoC decision.

The results are not really important...

I watched SS1 and SS3 only. Both on the south side of circuit which is fast and wide with some chicanes. Almost nobody tried any kind of show there. The most drove very clean. There were some exceptions like especially Niki Glisic. From top drivers only Černý and Hozák were driving for show. Pity the Audi of Enge broke down.

All in all the new cars are working too good for roads like this. It was like watching circuit racing. I didn't enjoy it very much to say the truth.

Interesting to see Martin Koci with Fiesta R5 on entry list

It was more interesting to watch him on stage He looked very fast and his times were great too for first outing.
