Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2019

Timetable is out: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=21728

 

[Mirek]

Supplementary regulations for the Star Rally Historic are also out now: http://www.autosport.cz/zavody/soubor.php?f=21907

The most important is the timetable. Aside of the city stage the competitive field will do 6 stages on Saturday afternoon and evening (legends only 5).

Regarding the non-regular foreign drivers we have now Gryazin confirmed and everything looks like Marczyk will come too.

Simon Wagner said in the finish of Rally Bohemia that his aim is to start on Barum but the budget is not yet secured.

Tomáš Kostka with Fabia R5 of Kresta Racing confirmed.

Martin Prokop will repeat the last year's successful show with his Dakar car on the city stage

 

[Mirek]

Since Marczyk is testing today near Zlín we can count him as sure participant.

Kresta Racing will have therefore up to five R5 cars on the start with at least three very fast drivers (Kostka, Mareš, Marczyk).

Will Mares have the Evo car?

 

[Mirek]

I don't know but I don't think so because his car is new (3 events run in total).

Anyone has info about when we can expect provisional entry list for '19 Barum?

 

[Mirek]

There will be no provisional list. The official one comes out on Monday 18:00 CET.

Maps will come out on Monday too. There are some changes to the stages, especially with the stage Kostelany. 2/3 of the stage were last used in 2008 and even back then these roads were split into two different stages.

Thanks Mirek,

I know that deadline of maps 5 August, and I am waiting for them and entries as well. Do you have any info in advance about direction of Pindula which will be back again this year?

 

[Mirek]

Pindula will be run in the most common variant from the past (not like in 2017) and in direction from the west to the east.

Nothing unexpected this time. Anyway 137 + 85 cars mean that we will again have a long night on Friday

5x Fabia Evo including Kostka and Wagner.

PS Due to the rules some local R5 drivers have numbers up to 77

I apologize for the wrong info about Pindula. It's a hybrid of the old classic route and the new one from 2017.
