The Barum Rally was born in 1971 as an amateur rally announced as part of the celebration of the start of trial operation in the newly built tire factory Rudý říjen in Otrokovice. However, a lot of time has passed since then and the rally itself has gained in importance, professionalism and speed and has become a stable part of the calendar of the Czech Championship and the European Championship. What can you as viewers expect from her this year?
