Great! But what happened with his Lancia 037 project?

I think he was about to drive 037 from Volta's team in some events... I don't know any details but I remember that last year in Krumlov Janota was there waiting for the Italians to come with the car but they didn't arrive. I don't know why.

It was not serious project, they were thinking only about some starts. And now, when gr.A cars are allowed in historics, it is nonsense to start with 037...

Unfortunately Janota crashed badly today in one small rally and the car seems to be destroyed...

That´s bad news. Hope the crew is alright.

You can see some photos of the wreckage here: http://forum.autosport.cz/viewtopic....tart=10#p77596

The crew is said to be in hospital for observation but hopefully they are ok.

Meanwhile a pretty rare car appeared on the entry list of Rallye Český Krumlov - Octavia 4x4 1.8T N4. It shall be the car which Paasonen used in Jänner rally about a decade a go.

Seeeded entry list for Český Krumlov with 116 crews.

The strange seeding is because of ERT priority and also because of ASN ones. It's easy to overlook someone because some are really down the field...
