The guy with Yacco 208 R2 is Erik Cais. Third rally ever and first with R2. He was by far fastest 2WD on shakedown setting 8th fastest time among R5 cars...Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

The rally finished with an easy victory for Kostka who won all stages (by the way he had comletely new car of the latest spec.). Pity he drives only so few rallies and basically only where he knows every stone around the road. Behind him it was a great battle. Nobody had an issue or made any mistake there, it was purely about driving.
1. Kostka (Fabia R5) 37:24,7
2. Tlusťák (i20 WRC) +34,5
3. Vlček (Fiesta R5) +35,8
4. Grzyb (Fabia R5) +36,5
5. Mareš (Fabia R5) +42,9
6. Koči (Fabia R5) +54,8
7. Pospíšilík (Fabia R5) +1:09,3
8. Habaj (Fiesta R5) +1:13,3
9. Trněný (Fabia WRC) +1:50,8
10. Jakeš (Fabia S2000) +2:07,3
I'd like to mention also 2WD because after some years it looks very promissing with new youngsters. In the end an experienced Svačina won, only 1,3 seconds behind him was 22 years old Talaš but another even younger drivers shone as well. 18 years old Cais in his first ever R2 start was the fastest of all but visiting a ditch brought him down to 3rd place. Also the youngest of them Petr Semerád, only 16 years old (the youngest brother of Martin), won two stages and showed great speed. He also lost time with an off.
And a funny situation at the end... You know the nice flames from the side exhaust of the Escort Cosworth. Today Neumann driving it in the historic event managed to set a chicane made of hay bales on fire!Last edited by Mirek; 7th April 2018 at 16:53.

Nice video from the promoter with some onboard footage, some of the roads are same with Barum rally.

Second half of the video is made of interviews. You can skip it although there are some nice shots as a background for the interviews.Last edited by Mirek; 7th April 2018 at 19:55.

This is what an exhaust flame from the Cossie can do with a chicane

Specially for Dimitris an onboard from the yellow Škoda 130LR of Urban. Pushing very hard!

In fact the car is not a proper historic one. You can see it has 6-speed sequential gearbox and hydraulic handbrake (by the way You can see he is all the time pumpingwith it - I guess an issue with hydraulic pressure?). The very beginning is some weird mickey-mouse stuff but especially last third is for sure worth watching. By the way most of the stage is former Barum stage and the last third is very popular testing road for Barum.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

thanks Mirek!
only in Czech, could be a crazy enough to invest a 6 speed sequential at a rear engined skoda*
probably he had a malfunction with the handbrake(not instantbite?) and he is pumping the lever.
* this country deserves to have an wrc asphalt round.So many rally oriented people.Last edited by dimviii; 8th April 2018 at 18:35.
Solberg to Toyota would surprise me a lot, what would happen to Pajari in that case?
