This rally was an epic disaster of the organization. First stage canceled because it was unprepared, second due to big crashes (that's valid reason) and sixth due to another organization issue (officially too high average speed in the first pass). Therefore two of six stages were not run by anyone and another was canceled for the crews after No.26. That means everybody with higher number did only 3 stages and nobody did more than 4. Moreover there were big time delays and the stages were let's say the worse from previous editions of this event. Altogether it's especially shameful with such a great number of Polish and Slovak guests.
When it was running it was spectacular though. Polish and Slovak drivers were running the show as expected as most of Czech top crews was missing. Odložilík had some issues with the car in the morning and didn't manage to fight back.
The results with a complete podium for foreign guests and Fiesta R5
1. Koči (SVK, Fiesta R5) 24:38,6
2. Grzyb (PL, Fiesta R5) +5,5
3. Habaj (PL, Fiesta R5) +9,7
4. Melichárek (SVK, Fiesta WRC) +10,5
5. Odložilík (CZ, Impreza WRC S12B) +15,0
6. Nivette (PL, Fiesta R5) +29,9
7. Oleksowicz (PL, Fiesta R5) +40,6
8. Vlček (CZ, Fabia S2000) +50,3
9. Kasperczyk (PL, Fiesta R5) +1:00,6
10. Ševčík (CZ, Evo IX gr.N) +1:26,1

So be it? You just quietly accept everything? The 2024 point system was disliked by almost every fan (you and very very few others are the "almost"), it was changed for 2025 to an improved version....
