Juho Hänninen among legends of this year Rally Bohemia

Press release no. 3

A famous Finnish racer Juho Hänninen, a former member of Škoda Motorsport team and World Champion in SWRC category, will be an important participant in this year Rally Bohemia Legend.

It is already a tradition that the starting field at Rally Bohemia is accompanied by spectator-appreciated Rally Bohemia Legend where during an exhibition ride without time measuring interesting cars from the motorsport history are introduced. This year the “Legends” will have one of the most famous name among their participants. With the historical car Opel Kadett C-GT/E the former member of Škoda Motorsport Juho Hänninen will introduced himself. It is him who with Škoda Fabia S2000 won the Champion title of prestigious IRC serial in 2010, World Rally Champion title in category SWRC in 2011, and who also became European Rally Champion in Škoda colours in 2012.

“We are glad that thanks to co-operation with Mr. Ctirad Hájek we can welcome Juho Hänninena in a historical car at Rally Bohemia. Still last year Juho was a member of the factory team in the WRC World Championship, and it is a great honour for us to see that racer here. Actually, for local fans, it is a small return of the favourite Finnish as Juho was connected with the Škoda Motorsport team for a long time winning his biggest success with it, including the title of SWRC World Champion. I am sure Juho will perform a real show with Opel Kadett C-GT/E within Rally Bohemia Legend and that his fans will come to greet him. I also want to thank Hájek Rally team for bringing another foreign rally star to Rally Bohemia, after Jimmy McRae, as well as for their big help with the invitations of the participants of the FIA European Historic Sporting Rally Championship,“ says Petr Eliáš, Clerk of the Course of this year European Rally Bohemia Historic. Juho Hänninen will not be the first Finnish racer to drive the historical Opel. On the occasion of the autumn Meeting of Champions on the Autodrom Sosnová, we could also see the quadruple World Rally Champion Juho Kankkunen with this car.

The most interesting crews of Rally Bohemia Legend will present themselves for the first time on Friday 10th July at 7 p.m. at ceremonial start in Staroměstské náměstí (Old Town Square) in Mladá Boleslav. The complete starting field of Legend can be seen during the Saturday and Sunday legs, always at the end of the first special stages passing when they will fill the gap before the second passing of the racing field of historical and contemporary cars. As every year, we can expect a motley field of foreign and local crews, while the Czech crews usually will show various types and evolutions of racing Škoda cars ranging from the sixties to the nineties of the last century.
