They will return to the places they used to cheer on as young men. Now they will be in the role of the main favorites, even if they do not interfere with the overall ranking of the “little master”, because they will only go here. They take it as a preparation for the Hustopeče Rally (June 17-18), the third race of the Czech Championship.

“Last year’s special stages pleasantly surprised us, in some places they resembled the gravel ones of Hustopeče,” said Václav Pech the day before the ceremonial start of the Lak Racing Rally Pilsen.

After the Rally Český Krumlov, they managed to prepare the car.

Last year, the rally returned to the vicinity of Pilsen after more than thirty years.

After a year, the Pilsen Rally is coming up, the home favorite Pech should also drive

“We managed to test the changes in the car’s settings here. That’s why we decided for such ‘sharp’ testing this year as well. But we expect a tough race and a tough battle for the podium. After all, the character of one-day competitions is different and tends to be more balanced, “added Pech, who will defend last year’s championship with Uhl.

“The first erzeta starts from Všerub, where Petr lives, and the beginning leads along a narrow, winding path around their cattle pastures. I have a knife on my neck that I must not damage the fences, as I managed with a trip to a meadow in Valaška. I don’t know if I’ll focus more on the cows or the ride, “Pech smiled.

Rallye Pilsen starts today at 7.30 pm with a ceremonial start from Pilsen’s Republic Square, where a day later at 9.00 there will be a sharp start.

PODIUM. The crew of the Pilsen EuroOil team Václav Pech - Petr Uhel performed on the silver podium at the end of the 49th Rallye Český Krumlov behind the winner Jan Kopecký.

Pech lost in Krumlov only a few seconds to the reigning champion
