Information
Date and time SS Information
18.08.2025 13:08 13 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): I’m shaking now because after last year I was not expecting I could be as fast as this during this year. For sure thanks a lot to my co-driver and my team and to everyone because it has paid off. I don’t now how many wins I have left ask me next year.
17.08.2025 15:08 12 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): I don’t think so. I have been nervous many times when I was younger. I’m trying to enjoy my drive with my co-driver and this beautiful car. If it is first place we will be super happy. Barum rally is part of my heart.
17.08.2025 14:08 11 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): The first forest is quite tricky and some places have big loose stones everywhere. I was trying to care for the tyres and not get a puncture but still the time is good. It is fine.
17.08.2025 11:08 10 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): I was on the maximum basically. For sure there are some corners where you can go a bit faster. One of those I was a bit too fast and I went sideways into a dutch but luckily nothing was there. It is ok. It is rallying what we love. I have a nice feeling from the car and everyone.
17.08.2025 11:08 9 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): The car is perfect, it just has a bit of understeer in the very fast zones. It seems as though it is working, it is perfect.
17.08.2025 10:08 8 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): It was difficult to trust the grip especially in the first forest because basically you don’t see the road. I was not confident but it got a bit better.
17.08.2025 07:08 7 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): I think I have enough experience, I’m not getting nervous because I love this sport and when everything is working well it is a passion. We are waiting for the other guys behind especially Simon Wagner and Erik Cais as well so nothing is won. Tomorrow will be an even more tricky day.
17.08.2025 07:08 6 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): I’m trying to get much more from myself because I feel like a piece of pork that is overcooked. This is the feeling I’m pushing here. I remember the times from 15 years ago and it is still there. I don’t want to know what the weather will do.
17.08.2025 07:08 5 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): It was really good. It is really hot and let's see if this weather will stay, there is some risk of rain in Bunc, but hopefully it will stay the same for everyone.
17.08.2025 07:08 4 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): I think it is fine because I know a bit of setup from him [Mabellini] as his engineer has been here with me since 2015 so we have done many events together. He is much softer than me and we were struggling on gravel as the car didn’t have traction and on the rest of the stage it was quite good and it was better than having a soft car. It has been good. This stage is very tricky and I have never done it before, ok last year it was in the opposite direction. There are many tricky places in the first six kilometres so I think maybe it is a small advantage to start first.
17.08.2025 07:08 3 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): It feels good for sure in some places it is a bit more clean and some places a bit more dirty from the cuts. I had a moment in this new part which is really nice. I was braking a bit too late and lucky there was nothing there.
17.08.2025 07:08 2 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): I think we could drive a bit faster but it was nice. I was quite committed. It was ok. I want to enjoy every single metre of this rally.
16.08.2025 08:08 1 flash info (16 - Kopecký Jan / Hovorka Jiří): It is nothing. As you can see the fans are amazing. they are making this rally so special. A few tenths is nothing.
