ERC Report: Kopecky gives SKODA Dream Erc Victory On Home Soil - PaddockTalk
Co-driven by Pavel Dresler, Kopeckýs blistering pace over the 15 fast and bumpy Tarmac stages was the only thing hotter than the weather, which exceeded +30°C today. Having started todays second and final leg in a 35. 4s lead, Kopecký had a scare with a quick spin on this mornings opening stage, but after that eased off cruising to a start to finish 27. 3s victory. I also want to thank Pavel for his cooperation, because he really helped me a lot, and the Fabia R5 has been very strong and reliable. Its been a perfect event for us. Last years event winner Václav Pech was pleased with second place, having set two fastest stage times in his Mini John Cooper Works S2000. Polands Kajetan Kajetanowicz has extended his lead in the ERC drivers... Alexey Lukyanuk finished an excellent fourth in his Ford Fiesta R5, even setting fastest time on the final two stages one of which was Troják which, at 23. 01kms, was the longest stage of the event on only his second ever Tarmac rally. Pavel Valouek finished fifth in his family-run KODA after an excellent mistake-free event, while former ERC Junior star Jan ?erný was an excellent sixth in a similar Fabia S2000. Craig Breen dug deep and scored. Source: paddocktalk.com
