Czech rally news

[Mirek]

Also Rally Hustopeče is now part of both Czech and Slovak championship which shall make it very nice.

Very good news! Václav Kopáček is now an official successor of Vojtěch Štajf in his Subaru.

I really wish Kopacek a year without any major issue.

Interesting! I also heard that the team owner is a mathematician. Is that true?

Cool livery! Good luck with this new project!

[Mirek]

Yes, he is. Besides other scientific work he teaches financial mathematics on the university and he is also well known person here as a founder of several foundations (anti-corruption, support of science etc.). You can read something about him on his English website: http://www.kareljanecek.com/en-CZ/

Come on guys…there’s info about Czech mathematicians, billionaires and philanthropists but not a line on Kopacek good looking codriver?

Thank God we got Ewrc! According to them, Miss Rendlova has been codriving since 2010 with some nice results on regional level, and this will be her second season with Kopacek on czech national series.

Best luck to Barbara. It would be great see her getting to WRC!

(It may sound a bit sexist, but if we take Kournikova role on WTA revamp I think we all agree that having more pretty and talented girls driving or codriving at WRC would be a nice progress).

Yep, she even ‘sings’ the notes in a nice way!

Seriously: FIA must get a proper program to promote women active participation on motorsport. We’ve been seeing a growing numbers of girls getting involved at rally or racing, mainly thanks to ASN’s friendly policies, but there’s no real help from FIA to make them get into top motorsport international series. It’s a shame.

The Ladies cup in ERC sadly wasn't exactly a success despite it having same promotion as ERC 2WD. It started quite well but the competition didn't grow with the time but faded.

What's so strange? Pretty similar in so many ways to other neighboring Slavic languages.. Hell, you guys are nice enough to use Roman letters..That's good! Much easier to see immediately that I don't know what the hell a word is than when I fight reading 'Rooskija' where i strugle with Cyrillic and then get the word, and THEN I see "No f**king idea"..
