Kopecký & Starý will appear at Agrotec Rally Hustopeče. Second appearance by this factory-team crew, which comfortably won the season's first event, in the Czech Republic Championship.
Jan Kopecký & Petr Starý of Škoda Motorsport (factory team) are going to make their second appearance in this year's Czech Republic Rally Championship this weekend (
10-11 June). The fourth Czech Championship event of this season is the nearest item on the team's agenda that is extremely busy this year. Although Kopecký & Starý purposefully do not take part in all Czech Championship events, their comfortable victory at the Wallachia Rally this year in March has earned them third place overall. Furthermore, Czech fans will have their first chance to see the factory
Fabia Super 2000 in the new corporate design that could only be seen at IRC events so far
The event starts late night this Friday, and both the fans and the drivers can look forward to attractive battles. The two-day programme includes
12 stages in the surroundings of South Moravian vineyards (173 kilometres in total).
Commenting on his chances,
Jan Kopecký says: “Both Petr and I appreciate the fact that Czech fans will have a chance to see us in action after quite some time, although our agenda is indeed enormously busy. We don't have much time to prepare for the upcoming rally after the IRC event in the Ukraine that has just ended, but we will do our best to win there, of course – I guess we are not expected to have lower ambitions.”
