Last hours until the “rally between vineyards” deadline

The fourth race of the Czech and Slovak championships will take place on June 17-18, 2022. The seventeenth year of the Hustopeče competition will also host participants in the FIA ​​Central Europe Zone Championship (CEZ), as well as crews of historic vehicles.

The organizing team led by Martin Rada, director Petra Mynářová and her deputy Bořivoj Plšek fulfills the concept of the legendary competitor and long-time rally director Rudolf Kouřil. The schedule created from his pen contains three speeds every day, always in two sections. Only one of the six special stages will take place in the traditional format – Šitbořická. The other five have undergone changes. Either it goes in the opposite direction, or with the inclusion of new gravel sections, or a combination of both. The crews will leave the first section of the three measured sections (Vlčí dolina, Němčičky and Kurdějov) on Friday evening in daylight. The second section will require the installation of additional headlights. An even better light show with roaring engines of competition specials awaits the fans. On Saturday, it will start at the classic Starovice speedway, followed by the Šitbořice test, and the longest test of the Diváky competition (20.65 km) will end.

“Like his colleagues and friends, we completed Ruda’s work, which he completed in the final form of the schedule. Perhaps we succeeded, as Ruda wished. We don’t want to disappoint him. And we believe that they will be satisfied with the course of the entire competition and the crew. We thank the fans in advance for their discipline, “ says Deputy Director of Agrotec Petronas Rally Bořivoj Plšek.
