Rally Bohemia Maps are published

Press Release No. 5

Rally Bohemia has published the maps of legs and special stages at their official website. The start of 42nd Rally Bohemia and Rally Bohemia Historic is in two weeks.

The maps of all special stages are currently available at the competition website www.rallybohemia.cz. What is a glance at this year rally maps revealing to us?

The first leg: Spectators “parallel” super stage Bondy is arranged in the same shape as last year. Compared to the last year, special stage Sychrov is run in the reversed direction. The Royal stage Šumburk on the slopes of the Jizera Mountains is known in several variants; this year it will be again the one with the start and finish at Desná. After one-year pause and in an innovated shape, the special stage Bzí has returned to the Rally Bohemia schedule. Nevertheless, the main change can be seen in the fact that part of the second passages of these special stages in the regions of Liberec and Železný Brod will be run after dusk. So far, in the modern history of Rally Bohemia, these passages have never been run in the dark, so it will be a new challenge for all.

The second leg: After the last year successful restoration the special stage Lobeč will be ridden again. The traditional passage Vinec follows; it has been run almost since the beginning of the Rally Bohemia, and offers a wide range of easily accessible spectator places. Popular with spectators and respected by riders, the special stage Staroměstská is coming back to its classical shape after last year half-circle variant, however, in turn, we will be able to see its two passages in one day.

In addition to the classical maps, the Rally Bohemia organizers have also prepared a popular map version for Google Earth application where the whole stage track can be virtually flown through over simulated landscape in 3D. So you will get a better idea of the indented landscape, and will be able to choose your place for watching the competition.

The competition website will also provide you with the information on the spectator safety during the special stages and a document Spectator Safety Guide. Please pay attention to the instructions given there. We would also appreciate if the spectators parked their cars only on the places set to the purpose by the organizer, and kept free way for heavy vehicles of rescue squad of the Integrated Rescue system!!! Please observe to the areas forbidden that are delimited with respect to your safety as well as to private ownership, agricultural plants or to the requirements of protected landscape nature areas! During the rally, follow the instructions of the organizers and thus contribute to the smooth course of this year Rally Bohemia. Next week the official rally Programme including Spectator Guide with a detailed description of spectator places will be published.

The competition will be opened already on Friday 10th July with the ceremonial start in Staroměstské square in Mladá Boleslav, to which everybody is welcomed. On Saturday morning scrutineering can be seen in the service zone of Mladá Boleslav and then especially the morning shakedown at Hrdlořezy. So during the weekend days, the spectators will be able to watch the whole course of the rally from the beginning to the end.

The traditional general partner of Rally Bohemia is ŠKODA AUTO Company. More detailed information about Rally Bohemia is available at www.rallybohemia.cz, on Facebook as well as on other social networks.
