18. 08. 2024 16:53 CET 15 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Thank you to everyone supporting us, to the whole team and the partners, to the fans as well because they're important.
18. 08. 2024 16:53 CET 15 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): It was a great weekend, to fight with all the Czech guys is amazing, I'm really proud of the team. Thanks to Michelin for the tyres. We are the only ones to be on the podium consistently for the past three years.
18. 08. 2024 16:52 CET 15 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I'm speechless. I don't want to forget anybody, big thank you to you all for this. We deserve it, especially Igor Bacigál. I need a little bit of time to process it but I am really happy about it. It is a little bit of speed, so we can fight for the win. Hopefully I made my hometown proud.
18. 08. 2024 16:52 CET 15 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): It was like a disaster on the wets, it was a bad choice. I am really happy that we are, the whole stage has been like we have left rear tyre damage and it slides everywhere. Happy to be here, thanks to all the team.
18. 08. 2024 16:51 CET 15 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It was a really tough race, we can be satisfied even if the result is not the best one. To be P5 in this crazy race is a mark of good pace eespecially with these crazy stages. I would like to thank all the sponsors, the team and Hankook. A really good rally.
18. 08. 2024 16:51 CET 15 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): I think it was a really strong weekend, even last year was good. We were so close to P4 but I did the mistake. We are really happy with the team, the sponsor, the car is working really well. we should be really proud.
18. 08. 2024 16:50 CET 15 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's good, good that we can put the speed when we need it. It is possible to drive better, would be possible today to fight with Efren Llarena, the strategy was good. I hope we can score some good points. We will fight to the end, our home event where I hope we will push for everything we have and we will have all reason to do it.
18. 08. 2024 16:50 CET 15 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): It's really good, I've been three times here and never finished. On the last one I did alright, I sped up a bit. Some mistakes are too much to catch the other guys, thanks to everyone who helped me be here.
18. 08. 2024 16:34 CET 15 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Thanks to the spectators, my team and my family. Fighting a bit inside of me to continue next year or not, what is good to know is I still have the same pace as the youngsters. It motivates me to come back, but I am not sure.
18. 08. 2024 16:32 CET 15 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): It's good, I am really happy. László is flying, he has good speed and a couple of FIA ERC events on me this year. It is really fun to battle with him, he is a really good guy. I am really happy with the 12th position, we bring the car home without a scratch. It was a really great battle.
18. 08. 2024 16:29 CET 15 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): It is very good because we are here, that was the goal before the race. Many thanks to the team, many thanks to my codriver Viktor Bán, he didn't do any mistake. Sorry for my mistake.
18. 08. 2024 16:29 CET 15 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Disappointing weekend, we wanted to come away with more. From a championship perspective, it's disappointment and we can't rely on others disappointments. We're going to Wales with what we've got so we'll just see what we can do there.
18. 08. 2024 16:25 CET 15 flash info (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): I'm in the points? Sounds good. It's been a bit wet, three big mistakes, next time we need to be more clean. But we are happy.
18. 08. 2024 16:24 CET 15 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): It is quite good, yes.
18. 08. 2024 16:21 CET 15 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It feels great because for me, since I was a child driving the simulators on these kind of stages was like a dream and now it came too with the Rally2. It was not our rally for sure, we missed a bit of a luck with tyre damage and tyre choice, but we enjoyed it. I want to thank everyone that supports us.
18. 08. 2024 16:21 CET 15 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Today has been more positive pace-wise, especially in the wet conditions in the morning. This afternoon has been close to the front runners. I think we can continue to grow and let's see what we can do in a couple of weeks time in Ceredigion.
18. 08. 2024 16:21 CET 15 flash info (27 - Kohn Filip / Woodburn Tom): Thank you to my team, thank you to my dad. So happy to be here, good points, good drivers.
18. 08. 2024 15:10 CET 15 Starting order: Kohn, Armstrong, Vlček, Mabellini, Kołtun, Jirásek, Paddon, László, Von Thurn Und Taxis, Pech, Kopecký, Neubauer, Marczyk, Llarena, Mareš, Březík, Cais, Wagner, Stříteský
18. 08. 2024 14:44 CET 14 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Pretty good time, surprising. Not easy in the forest at the end, we have more slicks on the car so it is quite slippery. We're not at the front pace but we're quite close so we have to keep going with this rhythm, see what we can learn and bring it forward.
18. 08. 2024 14:42 CET 14 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We're gonna push, would've been nice to take it easy. We've had it manty times this year where you push and you don't get anything, we'll push and see what happens in a couple of hours.
18. 08. 2024 14:41 CET 14 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): This one is not easy at all, lots of mud and we are on slicks now so it is a little bit difficult, but that's it.
18. 08. 2024 14:41 CET 14 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): I was really careful because it is very slippery especially in the forest, I was careful as I still want to go and don't want to make a mistake that will ruin this result.
18. 08. 2024 14:40 CET 14 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): It's just managing, we're well prepared for the Power Stage. I like the stage a lot, we won it last year and won it in the first pass. I have one more tyre in the boot. It's Barum Rally, so expect the unexpected.
18. 08. 2024 14:40 CET 14 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): Tyres was a bad decision. We hoped in the forest it would be more wet than it was. I hope for the finish.
18. 08. 2024 14:40 CET 14 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Still the guys in front are on the stage so we'll see the time of them. The feeling was really good, the car was working really well and the tyres also. The last bit I tried, I saw on the first pass I lost most of the time in there. For sure it's much more slippery than the first pass.
18. 08. 2024 14:38 CET 14 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was quite a nice stage, I was not pushing like hell. I was pushing like I can push, when it was full of mud I was really pushing. Our rally has been quite well, maybe we had the pace to fight for fourth but yesterday I lost 20sec in the half-spin. There are a lot of guys fighting for the podium so I think they will fight really hard.
18. 08. 2024 14:38 CET 14 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are doing our best, I think Llarena is fast, too fast for us. We are trying to manage our gap, it is okay as we are still trying to manage our time before Hermann Neubauer. We will try to put good time on the last one. We will see [if it rains] in two hours.
18. 08. 2024 14:37 CET 14 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): I tried another cross-variant, it was better, still not 100 hundred percent perfect. It was so much fun, this amazing forest at the end. If you are fully committed you can go flat out. Let's see what happens in the Power Stage.
18. 08. 2024 14:23 CET 14 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Long Gear ratio it feels a bit more scary on the top speed. It works, but we have to check the damper after the rally. I think that on the short one you can go to 85 but on this one you can go 96 or 97.
18. 08. 2024 14:23 CET 14 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): At 2km I made a very bad mistake, let's see for the next one. I have wets but I hope no rain.
18. 08. 2024 14:23 CET 14 flash info (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): I chose the wrong tyre, we crossed with wets so we are back on the hard/slicks and it is more enjoyable. I like it less in the forest, I like it more just driving.
18. 08. 2024 14:22 CET 14 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): The challenge is there, the start was dry, quite damp in the last part. Really happy.
18. 08. 2024 14:22 CET 14 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): You have corners that are flat corners that are now full of dirt. They are really sketchy, we gained a place but let's hope we can keep László behind.
18. 08. 2024 14:33 CET 13 retired (93 - Dudák Tomáš / Fuksa Pavel): accident in SS 13
18. 08. 2024 14:05 CET 13 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We're just seeing how it works, it was actually really slippery in there. We were in a ditch for a couple of seconds, but otherwise a really good run.
18. 08. 2024 14:03 CET 13 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Probably better than what it was the first pass, the grip is a but more consistent. We're trying to also enjoy the dry parts.
18. 08. 2024 14:03 CET 13 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Quite nice, I don't know how the guys in front can be so fast. Maybe on Semetín you can do what you want. It is quite challenging, a little bit better now. Still some mud in the cuts but it is okay.
18. 08. 2024 14:02 CET 13 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): There was a lot of stones at the finish, I tried to go but unfortunately I spun. Mamma Mia! Times look good compared to Wagner.
18. 08. 2024 13:49 CET 13 retired (44 - Zedník Petr / Zedníková Olga): accident in SS 13
18. 08. 2024 13:43 CET 13 (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): spun in flying finish
18. 08. 2024 13:42 CET 13 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): Expected a lot of grip, safe run with no issues, so all good. Let's see if we have the right tyres for Pindula.
18. 08. 2024 13:42 CET 13 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): We risked a little bit, hopefully it will be good and hopefully no rain. What a crazy stage, I love this one. Really, really difficult. I love this stage.
18. 08. 2024 13:38 CET 13 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): A wet tyre would be good for a nice run, we have to risk it. We have three wets.
18. 08. 2024 13:37 CET 13 (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): was out of road
18. 08. 2024 13:37 CET 13 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It was good fun, I like the stage, I expected better conditions to be honest. It was really slippery in places especially one corner in places, but we managed it quite well and I enjoyed it. The car is working perfectly as well.
18. 08. 2024 13:37 CET 13 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): I really like this stage, I need to go my legs are hot.
18. 08. 2024 13:37 CET 13 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was quite slippery inside the stage, it was very mixed conditions, really muddy corner. I was confident.
18. 08. 2024 13:36 CET 13 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): It's amazing but I spun, it was the first mistake in the rally. To be honest I don't expect some girth here, we lost the rear a bit. We are just happy to be in the race.
18. 08. 2024 13:36 CET 13 (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): spun
18. 08. 2024 13:35 CET 13 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): We have decided to test the long ratio gearbox. We have nothing to lose, if we want to test the long ratio gearbox today is the day.
18. 08. 2024 13:35 CET 13 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): Something strange happened, the car is shaking every time. I think we had tyre damage, I don't know, let me check.
18. 08. 2024 13:35 CET 13 flash info (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): There are some places where it is really tricky as it is so slippery. The other guys will have a problem as there are some places that are full of mud.
18. 08. 2024 13:34 CET 13 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): During the stage is really tricky, few places are really muddy and there are some cuts. Hard choice for tyres, we took the medium one.
18. 08. 2024 13:34 CET 13 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): It was a bit slipper in places than I expected. We had two little moments, one of them was not so little. We lost a little bit of time, but all good.
18. 08. 2024 13:16 CET 13 (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): spun
18. 08. 2024 12:24 CET 12 retired (83 - Firtl Stanislav / Kubista Libor): technical problem - driveshaft in SS 12
18. 08. 2024 11:51 CET 12 retired (54 - Viszlo Csaba / Maricsek Miklós): accident in SS 12
18. 08. 2024 11:31 CET 12 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): This was quite fun, a lot of drifting, the FIA should make it mandatory to have wet tyres on the back. I was quite happy with our pace in there, let's see what we can do for the Power Stage this evening. It depends with the rain and whether it dries out or not.
18. 08. 2024 11:31 CET 12 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I've got the super soft on the car so it still moves around a lot. With the loop and the amount of mud cause of our road position, the rain tyre was maybe a better option. I saw Franceschi and shook his hand, devastated for him, he is a very fast talented young driver. He shouldn't give up, we thought it was all over yesterday, but it's swings and roundabouts. It can change around so quickly.
18. 08. 2024 11:30 CET 12 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I have everything on my car, I just missed the medium tyre. We are here and have three stages to go, nothing to say more than this.
18. 08. 2024 11:19 CET 12 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): For sure, unlucky to have tyre damage in the first stage and also in Pindula. I think a 20sec lead is okay for the afternoon.
18. 08. 2024 11:14 CET 12 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): It wasn't perfect, a lot of mud already outside but for the whole loop I think our decision was not the correct one. Tricky as well, I am happy to be here and we'll see what we can do for the afternoon. Temperatures are quite high and stages are muddy. It will be poker.
18. 08. 2024 11:08 CET 12 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): On these tyres, I felt more like in a drift car than a rally car. What a fun stage! If you are pushing it is not that fun, but then you are enjoying the moment in the car.
18. 08. 2024 11:08 CET 12 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I hope we managed it well, we have to wait for guys behind us. For the first time on the cross tyres, it's okay.
18. 08. 2024 11:07 CET 12 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I'm really surprised our time is competitive because this tyre choice is working better for spectators than drivers. I was sideways everywhere, I tried to manage it well but it was not according to my imagination.
18. 08. 2024 11:07 CET 12 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): Now we have the two wet tyres on the back so it was just driving really smooth, like you've had tyre damage since the first corner. It is similar to driving a go-kart.
18. 08. 2024 11:06 CET 12 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's a good run, on Pindula we lost a bit too much but this is a good run. I hope we are rising step by step in the ERC and after Barum, we have two races more.
18. 08. 2024 10:58 CET 12 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): For sure this stage, the mixture like Kopecký is really good. For us it is slick, the time is really bad. We're not giving any feeling, the fast section is pretty scary.
18. 08. 2024 10:57 CET 12 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It was quite okay but we had the tyre choice for the first two stages, so now I tried a combination to have medium in the front and super soft in the rear. It was quite okay, good fun.
18. 08. 2024 10:53 CET 12 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): This was the first time I used the cross tyre, I tried to remember every corner where my slick and wet tyres are, but it is very enjoyable. It's okay.
18. 08. 2024 10:52 CET 12 flash info (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): The cross tyre right now is quite tricky so taking it to the finish and building the confidence for next time. The muddy section is perfect, a lot of spectators and we enjoyed some sideways action. We can enjoy.
18. 08. 2024 10:52 CET 12 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): One or two places were slightly muddy but the rest is almost dry. The challenge is tyres, but everyone had a different choice on this stage.
18. 08. 2024 10:51 CET 12 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): I missed a couple of junctions unfortunately, the braking is not so good with the cross tyres and there is a lot of movement in the car, so I went a bit wide unfortunately. I am happy with the loop and I think we made the best of the road position and our speed.
18. 08. 2024 10:47 CET 12 With the request of promoter, few crews will start with three minute gaps.
18. 08. 2024 10:42 CET 12 (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): missed junction
18. 08. 2024 11:52 CET 11 retired (104 - Slavíková Eliška / Slavík Jan): retired after SS 11
18. 08. 2024 11:25 CET 11 (111 - Mechl Matěj / Mechl Viktor): was out of road
18. 08. 2024 11:14 CET 11 (104 - Slavíková Eliška / Slavík Jan): puncture
18. 08. 2024 11:04 CET 11 (48 - Biedrzyński Dariusz / Fiołek Rafał): technical problems
18. 08. 2024 10:20 CET 11 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We've got full wets on, in the forest went pretty well. We're not in any fights today so let's see what we can do and improve the pace.
18. 08. 2024 10:20 CET 11 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): When you expect it it is not so tricky. We're in no man's land today, just playing it sensible and trying to bring the car home.
18. 08. 2024 09:59 CET 11 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Not very easy, we started with the rain. You feel once you are in the car that she wants to go. It's normal.
18. 08. 2024 09:58 CET 11 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): We missed a pole by centimetres, but other than that we had a good stage.
18. 08. 2024 09:58 CET 11 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): Medium tyres, it was too muddy for them. Still one stage to go on this loop. Should be okay we have two more hards in the back.
18. 08. 2024 09:58 CET 11 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): It's a home stage for Brezík, I knew he was really quick and he was, the wets should be better down here. Still fighting, it will be really hard to catch up, but it's okay.
18. 08. 2024 09:56 CET 11 retired (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): punctures after SS 11
18. 08. 2024 09:50 CET 11 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): We lost some time at the beginning because it is too dry and we are on a wet tyre, but the forest part was good.
18. 08. 2024 09:50 CET 11 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Everything is better, doesn't matter the result but the feeling is really good. For me it is more easy to compete against local drivers in these conditions because it is not about the proper knocledge of the stages, I really enjoyed this stage.
18. 08. 2024 09:48 CET 11 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I have to check, to fix my tyres.
18. 08. 2024 09:46 CET 11 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Yesterday I had the biggest moment so far here in my Barum rally history, the feeling is not quite there, I hope it will come back today.
18. 08. 2024 09:45 CET 11 (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): puncture
18. 08. 2024 09:45 CET 11 (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): was out of road
18. 08. 2024 10:07 CET 10 retired (87 - Vyvlečka Tomáš / Baďurová Hana): technical problem - fuel tank in SS 10
18. 08. 2024 10:04 CET 10 retired (80 - Procházka Jan / Lasevič Richard): technical problem - fuel pump before SS 10
18. 08. 2024 09:55 CET 10 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I don't know what happened, I am on the line I don't know. After a jump, it was a problem.
18. 08. 2024 09:08 CET 10 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): My first time doing the stage, it's a classic stage and we really enjoyed it so let's see what we can do for the rest of the day.
18. 08. 2024 09:07 CET 10 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's not too bad, lots of mud on the road now. we're trying to compete with the guys running first or second on the road and you can't with this much mud. We've got slicks.
18. 08. 2024 09:07 CET 10 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I had rear right tyre damage, I was driving in the line. After 6-7km. Let's see.
18. 08. 2024 09:07 CET 10 (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): puncture
18. 08. 2024 09:02 CET 10 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): We had tyre damage from the second kilometre of the stage, long way with a puncture. A shame for the morning, but it is a long way to go.
18. 08. 2024 09:01 CET 10 (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): puncture
18. 08. 2024 09:00 CET 10 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): We have two more hard tyres in the boot, just arriving from the first stage so let's see for the other stages. I was quite happy with the driving, let's hope for sunshine and dry roads for the other stages.
18. 08. 2024 09:00 CET 10 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Shame about tyre damage, now we need to be careful for Pindula because we need to calculate what tyres. It is a shame. It is a lot of kilometres till the finish.
18. 08. 2024 08:59 CET 10 (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): puncture
18. 08. 2024 08:55 CET 10 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I tried to be careful because we want to be safely on the finish, that's the main goal for today. In some places there is much more gravel than I expect. The first part is so slippery. For me, yes. [The wet tyre is the right choice].
18. 08. 2024 08:55 CET 10 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It's good. Normally I am not so strong in morning stages, so it is good for me. Let's see the times of the guys behind us. The important thing for me is proper sleep.
18. 08. 2024 08:54 CET 10 (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): double puncture
18. 08. 2024 08:54 CET 10 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was quite wet, it was tricky to start the morning. I think we had a good time.
18. 08. 2024 08:54 CET 10 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was really perfect, this was my first time on Semetin in this direction, we are a few seconds behind Kopecký [in the stage]. We have Roman Kresta in the service, it was no trouble as he was deciding. Car is working perfect, I am happy. We are still on the wet tyres.
18. 08. 2024 08:54 CET 10 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): It is quite difficult to judge where the grip is good. In some corners it is fully muddy and the next it is good again, it is not easy to judge. We'll try to stay on the road, have fun and come through the day.
18. 08. 2024 08:53 CET 10 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Quite tricky conditions, you have to be really on the pace. I don't feel well on the start, but it got better. It's the target to come safe to the finish.
18. 08. 2024 08:53 CET 10 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): We were on the grass, we have a big moment after the jump. Everything is okay, good day for the brakes because I am very slippery in the morning!
18. 08. 2024 08:53 CET 10 (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): was out of road
18. 08. 2024 08:37 CET 10 flash info (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): The first part was okay but I did a mistake and we went off. We have to continue.
18. 08. 2024 08:37 CET 10 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Hard for us, yes.
18. 08. 2024 08:37 CET 10 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): It was quite slippery in places, we are happy with the road position because we don't have much gravel on the road but there was a bit of oiliness on the road. Let's see what happens today.
18. 08. 2024 08:33 CET 10 (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): was out of road
18. 08. 2024 07:52 CET 10 Weather in Zlín is cloudy, temperature is around 22 °C. Roads are wet after night rain.

17. 08. 2024 19:35 CET 7 retired (107 - Andrys František / Rejfková Šárka): technical problem - driveshaft after SS 7
17. 08. 2024 17:28 CET 7 flash info (18 - Pech Václav / Uhel Petr): Very difficult, trying so hard.
17. 08. 2024 17:27 CET 7 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): Unfortunately we have no wet weather tyres. There was a lot of discussion going around about the weather and the guys decided to take a nap. Allegedly, we have two slicks in the rear so I am not looking forward to the next stage. Good on this one, taking it easy and taking it dry.
17. 08. 2024 17:27 CET 7 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's a little bit more dirty than before, we were expecting this and it is okay, let's see the next one.
17. 08. 2024 17:27 CET 7 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): The feeling is much better, the car is much better so I don't know where the problem is. The rain is very bad because I don't have tyres for the rain.
17. 08. 2024 17:27 CET 7 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's surprising, I have no idea what the weather forecast is at all. It could make the last one quite interesting.
17. 08. 2024 17:26 CET 7 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): It's getting better and better, still quite cautious and no big things. I'm not here fighting in the front. I am quite used to it, to be safe. We will try our best but for sure I don't want to be at the front and fight very much.
17. 08. 2024 17:26 CET 7 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I was totally blind in the forest, it was too dark. I didn't put on the lights so I didn't see anything.
17. 08. 2024 17:26 CET 7 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It is difficult to say what the approach is, but at least some rain is coming. In the back I have two medium tyres, and two super-soft in the boots. We'll see.
17. 08. 2024 17:26 CET 7 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Now we lost much more than we want, but we still have our targets and there are some seconds to lose on the last two stages and we'll see what we can do.
17. 08. 2024 17:25 CET 7 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I think I don't like this stage, now it is behind us so we focus for the next one. There is a lot of work in the cuts, so risk of tyre damage.
17. 08. 2024 17:25 CET 7 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was quite a tricky stage, especially the last part I don't like it. Let's see what happens with the forecast.
17. 08. 2024 17:24 CET 7 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I feel the same, I have quite good feeling but the time is not here. We need to find more speed. It could be driver?
17. 08. 2024 17:24 CET 7 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was clean driving, four seconds better than in the first loop. Little bit slow to the guys in front. I think it will be on the limit for the next few stages, I appreciate it and am making some progress with driving on Tarmac.
17. 08. 2024 17:23 CET 7 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): Felt much better, at least there was a line. We saw two or three deep cuts. I have no idea what's coming, I guess the others also have no idea.
17. 08. 2024 17:23 CET 7 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): There are a few places with cuts, they are quite tricky with punctures. Hopefully the time should be okay. I don't know if we know something about the weather, it is a little gamble so let's see.

17. 08. 2024 16:59 CET 6 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): We will try to do our best with our pace, without too stupid mistakes. It is like it is, we keep the concentration, we'll see in the next one if the weather stays like this and at least we can enjoy the stages a bit more.
17. 08. 2024 16:59 CET 6 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): The car is working much better but the time is not enough. I don't know what the other guys are doing, I'm trying but I don't know.
17. 08. 2024 16:58 CET 6 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We left with two wets this morning, then this afternoon we were gonna go out with six slicks, but we've got wets as well. I don't think anyone has a clue what the weather will do. We played a safe game.
17. 08. 2024 16:58 CET 6 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): There was a big issue with a hay bale, someone in front of me hit a hay bale and it was too close in the chicane to pass it. Otherwise, the improvement was there but this is not good.
17. 08. 2024 16:57 CET 6 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I bet on rain, because I have two wet spares. We'll see.
17. 08. 2024 16:57 CET 6 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): I have hards on the front, medium on the rear and two super softs in the boot.
17. 08. 2024 16:57 CET 6 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): I tried to push and it is not enough, Cais is faster but it is okay. I hope everything will be dry.
17. 08. 2024 16:56 CET 6 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): The feeling was quite better, we changed something on the car during service and the feeling was better. We take too much pleasure behind the wheel and everything is perfect.
17. 08. 2024 16:50 CET 6 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): Let's try to see if it starts to rain. With this, I tell you everything about my tyre strategy.
17. 08. 2024 16:50 CET 6 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Much better than this morning, it is the first stage of the day I really enjoyed. The feeling is getting better, let's see for the other stages.
17. 08. 2024 16:50 CET 6 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Car is working perfect, thanks to my engineer, Martin and Kresta Racing. The afternoon is going well, it could be hot or we might have a storm in front of us. The afternoon loop did not end well, we had a small issue on the last stage. I have a medium strategy, not wets.
17. 08. 2024 16:49 CET 6 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): We carry two spare tyres. Bit of time loss because of the weight, but let's see. In the end, it all counts. Yes two wet tyres.
17. 08. 2024 16:48 CET 6 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Not cleaning the track helped, the morning was really hard to get times because of the cleaning. Now the grip level is high so we can push, but the guys behind will do the same.
17. 08. 2024 14:16 CET 5 Stage is cancelled.
17. 08. 2024 14:12 CET 5 Stage is stopped.
17. 08. 2024 14:11 CET 5 retired (26 - Jirovec Jakub / Jindra Petr): accident in SS 5
17. 08. 2024 13:59 CET 5 (18 - Pech Václav / Uhel Petr): was out of road
17. 08. 2024 13:58 CET 5 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Since the third corner on the gravel. It is what it is. Now we go back to service, we are out of the game now. Really sorry, it is just bad luck. One corner with a rock inside. Nothing to do.
17. 08. 2024 13:57 CET 5 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): My pace notes were not good here and my car was also not good here. In the service we have to change everything and let's see for the afternoon.
17. 08. 2024 13:55 CET 5 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The gravel part I enjoyed, the car works quite well on gravel. There's so much pollution on the road and so much cutting. It's not scary when you're driving as slow as we.
17. 08. 2024 13:55 CET 5 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): It's super crazy but to be honest I was lucky, I had tyre damage on the previous stage and I hit something on this stage also 3km before the finish. The time is not so bad, you can't do much better. This is an absolutely crazy stage.
17. 08. 2024 13:55 CET 5 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): It was a little bit too fast on the gravel, had to oversteer, the car stopped. I had to reverse and after that I hit some hole and I think we have tyre damage. It is what it is.
17. 08. 2024 13:54 CET 5 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It was just on gravel, it is quite loose and big stones are coming out. There was one on the line and I hit it. This is rallying.
17. 08. 2024 13:53 CET 5 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Really hard stage, the end of the stage we hit something by the left of the road and I was really careful because it was 3km before the end.
17. 08. 2024 13:35 CET 5 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's a typical Barum stage, the gravel section has a lot of slip. Difficult to know if you are fast enough.
17. 08. 2024 13:35 CET 5 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): We went out of the road, we were a little bit lucky because we tried to go onto the road again. Crazy stage. It was a cut I didn't have in my pace-notes, so when I arrived it was full of mud.
17. 08. 2024 13:27 CET 5 (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): spun
17. 08. 2024 13:24 CET 5 (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): puncture
17. 08. 2024 13:20 CET 5 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It's a very difficult stage, I am quite happy that it is dry for the first time. It is getting quite easier for drivers. I felt we had a good rhythm.
17. 08. 2024 13:19 CET 5 (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): was out of road
17. 08. 2024 13:18 CET 5 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was not easy for us because after 5km from the start we had an issue with a connector, I was trying to adjust and get 4WD as much as possible. Despite that and the tyre damage, we are here and it has been a good race.
17. 08. 2024 13:18 CET 5 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): Incredible stage. we all knew it before, but to drive it in stage mode is incredible. Now, off to lunch and push again. I liked the gravel section a lot but the last six to seven kilometres are crazy.
17. 08. 2024 13:17 CET 5 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I am a bit jealous about the car starting at number five and more as there is a lot of cleaning out here. Nice stage, incredible, beautiful proper one. We wanted to enjoy it but I wanted to be a bit more faster. If you're used to doing it on a bicycle it feels okay in a car, quite normal.
17. 08. 2024 12:23 CET 5 Stage will be delayed for 15 minutes. First cars will go with 3 min gaps.

17. 08. 2024 11:35 CET 4 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Just on a cut, something sitting further into the left. The car was really good on that stage, sometimes got a better rhythm.
17. 08. 2024 11:35 CET 4 (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): double puncture
17. 08. 2024 11:34 CET 4 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): We had a lot of cuts, we almost had two big moments in fifth gear in the beginning and middle of the stage and the time is not so good. I really don't know what to say, it is like this.
17. 08. 2024 11:34 CET 4 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): It's crazy behind the wheel. After a very long road, in the high speed corners you have to go in the junction and through short corners, it is crazy but okay.
17. 08. 2024 11:34 CET 4 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The first half is the same as last year, surprised at how much the guys in front are cutting the corners, every corner has a bit of pollution in it. It is a bit like Finland, narrow and fast. The car is being thrown around a lot so it is hard to be committed but we still enjoy.
17. 08. 2024 11:27 CET 4 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): It's just amazing, if you see it for the first time in so many years it isj ust enjoyable. So much fun, such a pleasure to be here. I don't take so much care in the times now, I just race and enjoy.
17. 08. 2024 11:27 CET 4 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I am just finding in my head where we can get tyre damage. Just a little bit off, when I knew I had a puncture I went out.
17. 08. 2024 11:26 CET 4 (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): puncture
17. 08. 2024 11:26 CET 4 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): I think it will be important because the next stage is the fast one, we need to take a lot of risk which is something I don't want to do, with two kids at home and a wife. This one was crazy but the next one will be fast. It is dryer now, but Stríteský is fast and Brezík is just behind us.
17. 08. 2024 11:26 CET 4 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): It's a crazy stage, really fast and lots of small jumps and cuts. Time was good, we'll see for the other drivers.
17. 08. 2024 11:25 CET 4 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It was a new stage, really fast and really bumpy. The first pass is difficult today. I have to check my bonnet, it is always nearly open. We have to fix.
17. 08. 2024 11:25 CET 4 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It's a crazy stage, I can't imagine what it was like in the car of Cais, I was pushing.
17. 08. 2024 11:25 CET 4 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It was quite good, in terms of the three stages this morning. We are losing quite a lot of time but we mostly know why we are losing and trying to keep improving.
17. 08. 2024 11:12 CET 4 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I was inside one corner, which I should not be. Tyre damage was a kilometre from the finish, we were lucky.
17. 08. 2024 11:12 CET 4 (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): puncture
17. 08. 2024 11:11 CET 4 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): It's an amazing stage, so much fun. Erik is flying today but we expected that. Bit more faster than the first two stages, the feeling is better but there is a long way to go. Cais is crazy!
17. 08. 2024 11:11 CET 4 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Sadly a mistake happened, we have 20sec penalty. This stage was flat out from the very first metres until the finish. Crazy stage.

17. 08. 2024 11:00 CET 3 flash info (22 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): I saw the stage on video before just to prepare and get ready because it is so much more slippery than expected. We had a moment; we went a bit far on the brakes, lost the rear. I thought I had tyre damage but it is just dirty everywhere.
17. 08. 2024 11:00 CET 3 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): It's very slippery, felt very slippery.
17. 08. 2024 10:48 CET 3 flash info (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): Nothing at the end, just in the middle. I slammed on the brakes and then there was gravel. We went off but we are okay. Nine out of ten corners it is like on ice, so just really tricky.
17. 08. 2024 10:47 CET 3 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): Tricky stage! Slippier than I thought in places. Not so happy with my times so far today but we're getting into the feeling and I am looking forward to the next stages. You have to push everywhere in the FIA European Rally Championship. I am getting into the groove and hopefully it will improve.
17. 08. 2024 10:47 CET 3 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Not so easy, judging by the time I was very careful and when you do that, you have a few moments. We started to understeer wide in a few loose corners. We'll keep pushing and try to get a good feeling. Lots of cuts and lots of pollution, lots of fine gravel it seems to be pulling out so not easy at all.
17. 08. 2024 10:47 CET 3 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's getting worse and worse, a lot of cuts and some loose gravel coming in. You have to follow the line but it is not easy because it is so narrow. It is not an easy job but I think we did a great time.
17. 08. 2024 10:46 CET 3 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): It's very slippery in the first corner, I lost my car. The time is also bad. I don't know how much time we lost, more than ten seconds.
17. 08. 2024 10:45 CET 3 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I'm not looking at times today, we are trying to enjoy the drive. We need to try and enjoy these weekends where we can't be quicker. I ask myself why we like these daunting stages, I much prefer to be on a normal road show but this is what the rally needs.
17. 08. 2024 10:45 CET 3 (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): was out of road
17. 08. 2024 10:32 CET 3 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): I am not committed enough, there was a small issue on the car with some massive understeering. Not as much confident so you have to be super fast.
17. 08. 2024 10:32 CET 3 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I was too careful here, we have to be careful on this stage. There is a lot of crazy places and scary places. We are here and we have to continue.
17. 08. 2024 10:28 CET 3 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): The aim is to stay on the road, the car is working well but we have to be cautious of the loose gravel on the cuts. I made myself a bit more scared in the corners. I went over it too fast!
17. 08. 2024 10:28 CET 3 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): I think I can push much more, the time is good. We will see the other times of those after us.
17. 08. 2024 10:27 CET 3 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): This stage is really strange, sometimes you have grip, sometimes you have nothing. I am so slow. I didn't find the feeling but the good point is that least it's only 7km.
17. 08. 2024 10:27 CET 3 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was quite tricky, there is a lot of loose gravel in the road. The last part is really fast. The feeling is not so bad but the other guys are on good pace, also the Czech guys. We are there.
17. 08. 2024 10:26 CET 3 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It's very slippery stage, we had no rhythm in the stage to be honest. This one was short but a very difficult stage. Maybe some corners are dusty but I was quite surprised by the level of the grip.
17. 08. 2024 10:25 CET 3 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's a pleasure to be here again, I like these stages, they are very demanding, they are similar to Polish stages where they are tricky and demanding. You have some classic ones.
17. 08. 2024 10:25 CET 3 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): Absolutely terrible, no lines and very greasy grip conditions. Sometimes high grip then low grip in next corner. I didn't want to be within the top five.
17. 08. 2024 10:25 CET 3 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): A lot of cleaning, bit sad with the starting position. It's incredible for me to be first for the spectators but it is a little bit of a pain in the car. Two really good stages are coming so really looking forward to them.

17. 08. 2024 09:39 CET 2 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): I am awake now! It's a good stage, couple of bits and bobs that weren't alright but happy to be starting the rally, happy for the weather and looking forward to the next stages. Every weather app has something different so let's see.
17. 08. 2024 09:35 CET 2 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): She feels pretty good, enjoying the run in there, she feels a bit better in some places. Time can improve, but still a lot of learnijng. You have this really tight left corner which is tricky, but you just have to say "Roger-O" and go for it, send her in there.
17. 08. 2024 09:34 CET 2 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's totally different, it is a nice stage. We enjoyed it. I think the pace is good, for the moment is okay. Let's see for the other one.
17. 08. 2024 09:34 CET 2 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): Not easy, my car is too soft in here I think but in the second stage it will be working good. Everything is okay.
17. 08. 2024 09:33 CET 2 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The first section is like circuit racing, you will be bored on the second lap. Good fun way to warm up and start the day.
17. 08. 2024 09:33 CET 2 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): It's a long time ago since I've been here, the guys in front are pushing like hell. Let's keep it clean.
17. 08. 2024 09:25 CET 2 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): Good feeling. Good start to the day, now we have to manage it.
17. 08. 2024 09:25 CET 2 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): I am pleased, the road position on this stage doesn't carry it. Maybe it will help on Bunč, but we will see. I don't know if it will rain later.
17. 08. 2024 09:25 CET 2 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): It was good, I think we have something small with the brakes which we have to check, because in a cut I lost my brake pedal. I think Kopecký and Brezík can be fast.
17. 08. 2024 09:18 CET 2 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It was a clean run, my setup is a bit too slow because we lose the rear too much and cannot go as fast as we want. We'll change on the road section and see for the next one.
17. 08. 2024 09:18 CET 2 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was quite good, the first part was quite tricky, little bit more slippery than we expected but I think not so bad.
17. 08. 2024 09:18 CET 2 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Really difficult, we lost quite a lot of time in the first part because there was some impact and I felt something wrong in the first right corner, we were too careful in the first lap and we took it easily till the finish, but let's see how many seconds we have lost.
17. 08. 2024 09:14 CET 2 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Clean, without big push and without actions we feel quite good going into the race. We lost maybe a couple of seconds in places but it is okay.
17. 08. 2024 09:11 CET 2 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): Bit better feeling, the GPS is something better so let's see. Nice start, difficult stage, quite a fast start at the end but let's see.
17. 08. 2024 09:10 CET 2 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): This one is not one of my favourites, but a nice stage. It's sliding a bit in the first metres which means there is dust on the road, it cleans and cleans. We are happy.
17. 08. 2024 08:53 CET 2 Weather in Zlín is sunny, roads are dry, temperature around 25°C.
17. 08. 2024 08:52 CET 1 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It took a good lap for the tyres to warm up. The good thing about a late stage is that it is an appropriate time for the people in New Zealand to be watching.
17. 08. 2024 08:52 CET 1 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It went okay, every year is the same. I tried to do a good time. Let's see tomorrow.
17. 08. 2024 08:52 CET 1 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It is a city stage. The first lap is with cold tyres, the loop is strange. Tomorrow is the real start so let's see.
17. 08. 2024 08:51 CET 1 flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was good, but not like I would like in terms of driving clean and fast in some places. It was okay starting the race.
17. 08. 2024 08:51 CET 1 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was okay but I was thinking it was better [time wise]. It's not so bad, just the beginning of the rally. Tomorrow will be quite challenging.
17. 08. 2024 08:51 CET 1 flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It wasn't so bad to be honest, it was a tricky stage to get into the rhythm. You start off cold, then on the third lap it starts to get hard on the tyres. Good start to the rally, let's see what happens tomorrow.
17. 08. 2024 08:50 CET 1 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): It's incredible, so many spectators. Unbelievable, maybe I did some mistakes. Let's see what the other guys are doing, the next few days are going to be crazy.
17. 08. 2024 08:50 CET 1 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): So, so hard to be honest. A lot of understeering on this one, not easy but when you see the atmosphere you have to push.
17. 08. 2024 08:50 CET 1 flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Every event is important for me, but this is a home event so it is something special. Preparation is the same as usual, I hope that we are prepared and show it throughout the weekend.
17. 08. 2024 08:49 CET 1 flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): The end of the stage with the cold tyres I had a big moment so after that I was just going through the stage, we're at the end and okay.
17. 08. 2024 08:49 CET 1 flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): On the first lap it was really hard to find the rhythm because of cold tyres, but then we found it. The real rally starts tomorrow.
17. 08. 2024 08:49 CET 1 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): These stages are perfect for the spectators, so let's look forward to tomorrow.
17. 08. 2024 08:49 CET 1 flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I tried to do as good as possible, so maximum attack. Maybe too careful because I'm scared to lose my wheel!
17. 08. 2024 08:48 CET 1 flash info (18 - Pech Václav / Uhel Petr): It is good, the first super stage is not problem.
17. 08. 2024 08:47 CET 1 flash info (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): The first stage has a few mistakes, went wide in a couple of turns and I overshot one junction.
17. 08. 2024 08:47 CET 1 flash info (22 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): I am happy to be back as these roads are amazing, there are so many fans around. I hope to see them on the road tomorrow, even if it rains maybe. It's great to see them and lovely to be back.
17. 08. 2024 08:47 CET 1 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Lots of spectators, fun. Not an easy stage but okay.
17. 08. 2024 08:46 CET 1 flash info (24 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Christian Frank): It's super, it is always a great opening stage. Lots of crowd, smoke and fire and a really good vibe. Very happy to be here and can't wait to get started.
17. 08. 2024 08:38 CET 1 flash info (25 - Neubauer Hermann / Ettel Bernhard): I made two stupid mistakes so for sure I lost three to five seconds. My mistakes weren't great but I was quite on the edge, my tyres were quite cold.
17. 08. 2024 08:38 CET 1 flash info (26 - Jirovec Jakub / Jindra Petr): It has been beautiful as always. This stage is full of spectators. I had trouble with cold tyres but a very nice stage, looking forward to tomorrow.
17. 08. 2024 08:37 CET 1 flash info (27 - Kohn Filip / Woodburn Tom): The stage was quite tricky, little loose. Just quite steady, tomorrow will be real tricky.
17. 08. 2024 08:37 CET 1 flash info (28 - Kazaz Kerem / Silvestre Corentin): Very bad, very, very, very bad. I missed some pace notes and did not want to make some mistakes. It's unfortunate.
17. 08. 2024 08:37 CET 1 flash info (29 - Widłak Igor / Dymurski Daniel): Last rally, I had a crash and don't have the confidence. This rally is for me to check and see what I can do. I don't like mistakes on this stage, but I am always happy.
17. 08. 2024 08:36 CET 1 flash info (30 - Ravenščak Martin / Ravenščak Dora): It was okay, not bad. Tomorrow is the real deal, we will take the pace safely and we will try to take the pace for the Fiesta Rally3 trophy!
17. 08. 2024 08:36 CET 1 flash info (31 - Kowalczyk Hubert / Hryniuk Jarosław): Feeling good, last time we crashed out in front. We will see tomorrow!
17. 08. 2024 08:36 CET 1 flash info (32 - Tomov Aleksandar / Spasov Dimitar): This is very good, we'll see what happens tomorrow, Thank you for my sponsors and the spectators.
17. 08. 2024 08:35 CET 1 flash info (33 - Kolčák Róbert / Lieskovcová Zuzana): Crazy stage, very hot temperatures but I feel great. We will see the time, we don't make a mistake. We will see tomorrow, thank you.
17. 08. 2024 08:35 CET 1 flash info (3 - Dohnal René / Švec Roman): It was good, it was my fifth or sixth time on the city stage in Zlín and we really enjoyed it, made no mistakes. The car is complete, tomorrow the real rally starts.
17. 08. 2024 08:35 CET 1 flash info (35 - Polášek Daniel / Omelka Zdeněk): It is always great fun, I always love it here. I was spectator here last year, we went with a brave tyre choice because we are hoping for rain tonight.
17. 08. 2024 08:34 CET 1 flash info (36 - Bertalan Márton / Paizs Róbert): We had a big moment in the first corner, not so good. It is what it is, the rally will start tomorrow. We hope that it will be a good event for us.
17. 08. 2024 08:34 CET 1 flash info (37 - Herczig Patrik / Varga Kristóf): It was quite okay, I was too careful. The tyres were a little cold at the start.
17. 08. 2024 08:34 CET 1 flash info (38 - Stratieva Ekaterina / Avramov Georgi): It's amazing to be here again, I don't know if I will go for 20! It is crazy stages for the first time here. We'll try to get to the finish and get good results.
17. 08. 2024 08:33 CET 1 flash info (39 - Lupu Ciprian-Daniel / Aitculesei Andrei): Happy to be here again, it's great. We want to gain experience on these kind of stages, it is great.
17. 08. 2024 08:19 CET 1 (44 - Zedník Petr / Zedníková Olga): was out of road
17. 08. 2024 01:26 CET 1 (72 - Ševčík Pavel / Vajdák Luděk): technical problems
17. 08. 2024 01:24 CET 1 retired (55 - Bartúnek Daniel / Fabián Martin): technical problem in SS 1
16. 08. 2024 22:12 CET 1 retired (94 - Fridrich Jakub / Kreslová Lenka): technical problem - damaged wheel in SS 1
16. 08. 2024 22:12 CET 1 Stage restarted.
16. 08. 2024 21:36 CET 1 Stage interrupted, should be restarted after ambulance leaves the stage.
16. 08. 2024 21:28 CET 1 Stage restarted.
16. 08. 2024 21:27 CET 1 Stage interrupted, should be restarted within 15 minutes.
17. 08. 2024 08:33 CET QS flash info (17 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): We will see about the forecast, but I hope the ninth position will be good for the gravel.
17. 08. 2024 08:33 CET QS flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Road position depends because I think there is no tactic now during qualification. If it is dry tomorrow, it will help on the gravel part of the new stage.
17. 08. 2024 08:32 CET QS flash info (15 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): It's a nice stage but too short, but I think our time is okay for tomorrow. We will see for the fast guys behind us.
17. 08. 2024 08:32 CET QS flash info (14 - László Martin / Bán Viktor): All okay, I made a mistake in the first junction, but all good. The car is working well and I am very happy.
17. 08. 2024 08:31 CET QS flash info (12 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It's difficult because there is some rain forecasted but it is difficult to judge the time when the rain appears. We tried our best in the stage, it is good for us and we are looking forward to the rest of the weekend.
17. 08. 2024 08:30 CET QS flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I don't know about optimum road position because of the rain, you have to have a small dryer part there which is better for a clean road. Let's see what the other guys do.
17. 08. 2024 08:30 CET QS flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Hain Jara): It's not the plan, the plan was to be not in the top five for starting position. I hope the others come fast, there are a lot of Czech stars. It was a clean drive.
17. 08. 2024 08:29 CET QS flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It seems like it is a good time! I am happy, we did a good run and I am really looking forward to the rally. We are looking confident.
17. 08. 2024 08:28 CET QS flash info (9 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): I think it will be an exciting weekend, looks like our pace isn't too far away, not there now but we'll see how it develops. Really nice to be back here and looking forward to the weekend.
17. 08. 2024 08:28 CET QS flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I am really excited to be here, tonight will be great. We had a small mistake in the beginning, we lost a bit. The qualifying doesn't matter, it is good to go. We are ready for the big race.
17. 08. 2024 08:28 CET QS flash info (7 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are waiting for the Czech guys! We are more in our pace, something I appreciate because even on the qualifying stage in Rome we didn't have this. Probably the start position is good for tomorrow because you will need a good clean line. I appreciate today that there will be one of the best super special stages, Zlín.
17. 08. 2024 08:27 CET QS flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It feels okay, strange qualifying. The start of the stage is like a city stage, I am not so good with that. I'm not sure it is good to start from the front this weekend. One thing is for sure, we will try to take maximum pleasure.
17. 08. 2024 08:27 CET QS flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Pretty short stage, struggling with the car a little. Could be a long weekend with the weather coming in.
16. 08. 2024 11:51 CET QS (19 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): Late in TC QS.
16. 08. 2024 11:50 CET QS (18 - Pech Václav / Uhel Petr): Late in TC QS.
