Mladá Boleslav (CZE), 11 July 2021 – It was a celebration in style: By winning #bohemiarally, ŠKODA Motorsport test driver #jankopeck gave the brand his personal gift on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of ŠKODA’s activities in motorsport. The seven times Czech #rally Champion won together with co-driver Jan Hloušek ahead of shooting stars Dominik Stříteský/Jiří Hovorka, who were competing in a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo carrying the ŠKODA Motorsport colours as well. It was Jan Kopecký’s ninth victory at the Bohemia 
Rally, which took place around ŠKODA’s hometown Mladá Boleslav.

The only competitor who could have spoiled the ŠKODA Motorsport party at #bohemiarally, fourth round of the SONAX Czech #rally Championship 2021, was Ford driver Vacláv Pech. Right from the start, he was locked in a fierce battle with ŠKODA Motorsport’s test driver #jankopeck. But on the sixth special stage, the hydraulic system of Pech’s Ford failed. Kopecký took the lead, which was never in danger until the finish. “It is a very special moment for me, that I could achieve my ninth victory here. There is no better way to celebrate the 120th anniversary of ŠKODA’s activities in motorsport,” emphasized #jankopeck at the finish.

As a reward for good performances during the first three championship events, Dominik Stříteský drove #bohemiarally with support from ŠKODA Motorsport. And the 21 years young talent delivered. Together with co-driver Jiří Hovorka he finished second with the ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo carrying the colours of the factory team. Jan Černý/Petr Černohorský of Louda #auto ŠKODA #racing Team in third place overall completed an all ŠKODA podium. Filip Mareš and co-driver Radovan Bucha, sharing an all-new limited production ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo Edition 120 from Laureta #auto ŠKODA Team, were initially holding second place. After a puncture during the eleventh stage they 
eventually finished fourth overall.
