10. 4. 2016 - Jakub Hofbauer

For many years the Czech duo Jaromír Tarabus-Daniel Trunkát has been a steady crew on the international level. They have established themselves in the FIA European Championship which includes local Barum Czech Rally Zlín. At the occasion of the 45th Barum Rally the two groups joined their forces and the duo T&T became the official ambassadors of Barum Rally.

Jaromír and Daniel's task is to promote Barum Czech Rally Zlín at other European events as the national crew of Auto Club CZE. Because the cooperation has been successful so far their mission continues. "I liked the last year's idea to join racing and promotion of Barum Rally and it's an honour to do it again. Barum Rally is the domestic big competition and a matter of the heart, so if our activity can attract more spectators from other countries that would be great,ˮ said Jaromír Tarabus and his co-driver Daniel Trunkát added: "Barum Czech Rally Zlín is a big name here and in the world too and we are glad we can be part of it. We hope our results will persuade a lot of fans to come to Zlín in August.ˮ

Last year the crew Tarabus-Trunkát finished on the fifth place in the FIA ERC thanks to their stable performances. Out of six competitions they finished three times on the splendid fourth place and only once they were forced to retire due to technical problems, ironically, it was in Zlín. This year the duo is aiming even higher. From the beginning they will have a new special Škoda Fabia R5, traditionally entrusted into a well reputable Kresta Racing's care. First stop on their schedule will be at the beginning of April in Ireland on tarmac followed by other events of the FIA ERC 2016. The highlight of the domestic season Barum Czech Rally Zlín is scheduled from 26 to 28 August 2016.
