Number six seed Jaromír Tarabus stopped in stage three with an electrical fault that led to a failure of his ŠKODA Fabia R5’s high-pressure fuel pump. “We think the problem may have been caused by a big jump and impact,” said a team spokesman. “We did a 200 kilometre pre-event test and since then Jaromír has been quick so far this weekend. So we are confident for our pace tomorrow. We will just wait to see what position he will start on the road.”
Raul Jeets will re-start in his Ford Fiesta R5 after he retired in SS4 after hitting a house. “It was one corner before the finish,” said Jeets. “I braked late and drove into one house, it was a big building.” The car was returned to service and has been fixed already.
Meanwhile Ford Fiesta R5 driver Roman Odložilik, who was seeded 12th, will also re-start. “We hit a log that stops you from cutting a corner,” said Odložilík. “It was a big mistake. The connection with the left-front wheel broke but we’ve already repaired it.”
