Then we finally reached the finishline in 5th place. The Hankook tires have improved and the Ford Fiesta worked out good, and we feel that we drive the best rally so far in IRC despite the changing weather and very difficult tyre choice.
Jan Kopecký went off on ss14 witch means we are gaining 1 position and are currently 6 in the standings. We also got 4 quickest time on SS15 that put us nearly 17 sec in front ofPech in 7th. Its shame for Jan Kopecký on his homeevent. But Loix is still fighting for Skoda on 2 place just below 4 sec behind Boffier who is the new leader.
We have now completed 4 stages and we are quite happy with the result, but we would like to be higher in the standings. The weather are starting to change from dry to wet again, so the tyrechoice is going to be important for all the teams know. Is it going to rain or not? Not easy to predict with changing weather all the time. Read more …
We are 8 in the standing after the first day with proper stages, and we feel that it`s ok because we have driven a very good rally, but feel that we have the weather against us. It`s not that we have our own cloud that follows us, but we are one of the few that has been wet all day. Read more …
The weather is so unpredicteble in Zlin area. On the last stage we startet on cut slicks, on dry tarmac. Into the stage it started pouring down with water and the drivers from startnr 6 an so on got a problem. Unlucky… We have 6 different tires to choose between, and it`s not easy to predict the weather minute by minute, so this is a “Tyrechoicerally”. Read more …
The boys from Msport, Hankook and Manager Erik Veiby is curious about the times Andreas and Ola is driving. After three stages they are 16 sec behind the podium, but lost 15 sec when they had a spin on Ss 3
