Barum Czech Rally Zlín 

Third regrouping in Service Park Otrokovice

26. 8. 2017 - Jakub Kudláč, Karolína Lečbychová

The crews came back to Service Park Otrokovice one last time during Saturday's Leg 1. All of them are relieved that they didn't have any accidents on SS Březová, which was especially tricky because it was already dark outside and fans were not allowed to cheer them all the way.
