Entry list is nice, but starting order is very crazy...

you are right, but i dont think (or dont hope) that this is the final starting order!

there is a date for confirmation of startingnumbers in the regulations, thats the 27.december..

so i hope there will be some changes in starting order!

This IS final starting order! Now only changes can be done only by stewards before start on the rally. But it is too late to make lot of changes and repair mistakes...

hi jarek!

difficult to say, for sure we all hope for a lot of snow, but at the moment there is more or less zero snow in the rally area, but in this part of austria it is usually a lot of snow at the beginning of the year..

so my feeling is that after this loooooong autumn, the winter will arrive and we will have a proper snow rally like last year!

do you plan to come to austria??

ohh, than we will see a few overtaking manouvers on the first long stages....

but in the other hand, if there is not too much snow, than it could be a big advantage to have a higher starting position ;o))

Jaenner Rallye would be the first round of Czech championship, so , where is the name of Roman Kresta? I've read somewhere that he will contest this championship, or has Kresta other plans?

[janez l.]

Something must be done on national rallying level about diversity of cars.

Mitsu, mitsu, mitsu, mitsu, subaru, mitsu, mitsu, mitsu, mitsu, mitsu, subaru, subaru, mitsu..............

Booooooooooooring!

As I told earlier, Roman HAVENT plans to start in whole Czech championship. It was only rumour, but absolutely not true.

[V.Gatev]

Do you have any info about Renault Clio of Josef Petak - R3 or his old Super 1600?

He wanted to start with R3, but there are some rumours, that his new car was crashed during test in France, so we will see...

[maevad]

PLuto, may be in Šumava Rally with R3...

[Jarek Z]

He wanted to start with R3, but there are some rumours, that his new car was crashed during test in France, so we will see...

Why does Petak want to waste so much money and buy a slower car? Isn't his Clio S1600 good for him anymore?

[PLuto]

He wanted to test Clio R3, which will use in next rallies Patrick Sandell...

[V.Gatev]

I thing R3 cars are very good. On gravel they will have advantage before S1600 cars. Super 1600 cars dont have future - R3 are the best choise for next seasons.

[PLuto]

So Petak will definitely use S1600 version, because R3 wasnt Renault Sport able to prepare for him.

Raimund Baumschlager was today testing for the IQ Jaenner Rallye with his Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX on snowy mountain roads. Some Fotos and a Video can you find on my page http://www.ir7.at

[Jarek Z]

[teufel]

Great pictures, WRC1! :up:

[Madeira]

And the winner is Václav Pech!
why this driver has never tried to do an international career?

[WRC1]

@Madeira and teufel: thx guys its always nice to hear such compliments!

overall, the rallye was nice, sure, there was no snow, but the show was good, mainly because of the czech drivers, but also a few "local heroes" who really entertained the spectators with spectacular driving ;o))

I think he doesn't want it. He has been top Czech driver for some 5 years, but never even came to compete in the Rally of Poland. Even when the rally was held less than 50 km from the Czech border...

This year Pech is going to compete in Central European Rally Cup, but we all know it doesn't mean much...

[IQ206]

Once I'v read interview with Pech, he says that he has no money for World Rally Champ. He likes better to start TOP prepared car in Czech Championship, then quasi-prepared car in another events. Usually his sponsor are Petra and EurOil, and i don't think they are interrested with promotion outside Czech Republic.

Is this confirmed, about Central European Rally Cup?

[Jarek Z]

Yes, you can read it on Pech's website (in the second paragraph):
http://www.vaclavpech.cz/tisk/2007/pechtisk1.html

[maevad]

He can be champion of Central Europe and Czech Republic. As every year...
And he has new car (evo IX) - new build.
From past yet:
He was 3rd in 2003 FIA European Rally Championship for Drivers with Focus WRC.
