Seconds in
Pačejov
2,4
The Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 crew of Dominik
Stříteský and Ondřej Krajča dominated the
dramatic Pačejov Rally and clinched their
second Czech Republic championship
title in the season’s nal round. In a close
battle, they beat Filip Mareš by a mere 2.4
seconds; Mareš had entered the nal race as
the championship leader and had also won
its rst stage. However, Stříteský fought his
way to the front right away in the rst special
stage on Sunday and maintained a narrow lead
all the way to the nish. For the 26-year-old
driver of the Auto Podbabská Škoda team, this
victory is particularly meaningful, as he retur-
ned to the track after a dicult recovery from
a serious accident in Poland, which forced him
to miss the previous Barum Czech Rally Zlín.
Third place in Pačejov went to Jan Kopecký,
holder of eleven championship titles.
