The situation itself is very interesting. Is the Austrian title worth it? Worth all these money? Can You be satisfied when beating old guy with less powerful car?

BTW off topic : I know one guy who can do it opposite way Martin Koci from Slovakia. I know I am talking about him quite often but the way he humiliated everybody in Valasska rally and nearly repeted it in Rally Vsetin (where he lost only with Tomastik with Subaru Impreza 06 WRC who lives exactly there) really impressed me. ...TOPIC ON

Kopecky is beating all czech "old" WRC machinery on every event where he starts. Also Pech was doing the same with Mini...

You are right Pluto but it is much more complicated case (You know what I mean, Kopecky in factory Skoda and Pech for around 20 years in Czech championship and all WRC in CZ being half-dead) Ask yourself, would Kopecky in R5 or Pech in his Mini RRC beat Kostka in C4 WRC? That is the real question. And honestly, I don´t know the answer. Anyway no need to argue. We both understand each other. You are definitely right.

And then,who bought Vaclav Pech´s Mini ?

Season in Croatia is due to start in 3 weeks (4. & 5. of March). More than 60 crews at this time, the entries will close in 26. of February. It is a sprint rally, but very spectator friendly with SS's on walking distance from service park and start/finish ramp.

I'm really curious what Jakes can reach at the Rebenland Rallye. I think the roads there should fit the DS 3 much better than the roads in the Czech Republic.
