› Second placed Andreas Mikkelsen, for the first time sharing a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo with Jonas Andersson, conquers overall lead in the FIA European #rally Championship
› Filip Mareš/Radovan Bucha (ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo) finish third
Zlín/Mladá Boleslav (CZE), 30 August 2021 – Three ŠKODA crew finished on the podium of Barum Czech #rally Zlín, a two-day #event counting towards the FIA European #rally Championship (ECR) and the Czech #rally Championship (MČR). ŠKODA Motorsport test driver Jan Kopecký (CZE) and Jan Hloušek (CZE) won for Agrotec ŠKODA #rally Team.
Kopecký celebrated his tenth win in Zlín, which means he also is Czech #rally Champion for the eighth time. Thanks to finishing second, ŠKODA stablemate Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) of ŠKODA Motorsport supported team Toksport WRT, who was competing for the first time
with co-driver Jonas Andersson (SWE), moved into the lead in the European series. Filip Mareš/Radovan Bucha (CZE/CZE) of Laureta #auto ŠKODA Team completed the podium. A total of eight ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 crews made it into the top 10.
The Barum Czech #rally Zlín is the season highlight in the Czech #rally Championship as it is counting as well for the FIA European #rally Championship (ERC). Therefore, the entry list also featured the top European #rally crews. But nine times winner Jan Kopecký had more focus on the Czech Championship competitors than on the European teams led by ŠKODA stablemate Andreas Mikkelsen, who wanted to snatch the lead in the ERC.
Agrotec ŠKODA #rally Team’s Jan Kopecký and co-driver Jan Hloušek (ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo) were leading after the first leg which was a real challenge for the crews. Changing unpredictable road conditions, dry passages often covered with gravel, damp and wet sections in the forests with mud in the corners made the tire choice crucial. First top crew to be caught out was the young talented ŠKODA driver Dominik Stříteský, who had finished second at recent #rally Bohemia. On the second special stage, he lost after a jump the control over his ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo, went off the road and had to retire.
The ultimate test came on the second run of the infamous, almost 19 kilometres long Pindula stage which was run in the dark of Saturday evening. Andreas Mikkelsen, for the first time competing with Jonas Andersson on the co-driver seat, opted to play it safe and settled for third. At the end of the Saturday leg, ŠKODA stablemate Jan Kopecký was 2.1 seconds shy of leader Eric Cais (Ford). “I didn’t want to take unnecessary risks. Tomorrow is still another long day,” Kopecký said.
