The ERC heads to the Czech Republic for the fifth round of the seven-round ERC calendar. It marks the third consecutive asphalt-based rally, spanning from the third and fourth Italian and Polish rounds, respectively.
A total of 13 rounds will be contested over the weekend, starting on Friday night with the Zlín superspecial stage. As a result, the competitors will compete over 205.79km of competitive Czech tarmac.
Saturday and Sunday mark the longest days of the weekend with six stages each. However, it is the former which holds the longest stage of the event with the Troják 2 test, standing at a lengthy 25.59km.
With high-speed forest sections, narrow parts through villages and bumpy, broken roads, the Czech Rally will test the competitors across the event. More so than championship leader Teemu Suninen.
The Finnish championship leader currently holds a 23-point lead (80pts) over his closest competitor, Andrea Mabellini (57pts).
Having won the previous event, Suninen has the opportunity to extend his championship lead with back-to-back victories before the penultimate round of the season, in the United Kingdom.
So, what are the official starting times for each stage across the ERC’s Czech rally?
