Czech rally news

[Mirek]

I wouldn't say so. I was spectating Bohemia a few years ago and in my opinion those are typical stages in Czech and in central Europe in general. It's a very nice event, by the way.

There is very little left in Rally Bohemia from those days unfortunately. Basically today's long stage Radostín is the only one of the best long stagest left in the rally (in the past it used to be called Sychrov). Now it's also one of the hardest event to spectate in CZ. Very long liasons, few access roads and often no overview from wherever You can place Yourself.

Bohemia is different than other events. Veiby drove Valašská rally which was very very dirty and very cold. The event was not about having good lines, big balls play bigger role there than on Bohemia. Nordgren drove Šumava which is faster rally than Bohemia, the stages are rougher, bumpier, with many crests and one of them was half-gravel (the one he won). Bohemia today was very technical event and some of the stages required very precise lines (SS Ještěd mainly). The hardest and longest stage Radostín is one of the hardest stages in CZ and I think that locals benefitted hugely from the past experience. Anyway when some real hobby drivers are faster than works crews it's wrong. We'll see tomorrow because the stages are very different. Veeery fast in fact.
