The second stage on Saturday was Mal\u0161\u00edn. Jan Kopeck\u00fd crossed the finish line in the fastest time on this ten-kilometre timed section. Filip Mare\u0161 lost 0.7 seconds to the fastest Jan Kopeck\u00fd, but nothing changed in the overall lead. Third was Austrian Simon Wagner. Bernard Mann (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX) crashed after a fleeting finish of this timed test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first pass of Malonty changed the standings, but not the lead. Filip Mare\u0161 made the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 hours with a subsequent trip off the track. Malonty reached the finish line in the tenth fastest time and lost almost half a minute to leader Kopeck\u00fd. On the other hand, Erik Cais set the second fastest time and leapfrogged Mare\u0161 in the standings. Jan Kopeck\u00fd, who was also the fastest here, increased his lead in the 52nd Rallye \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov 2025 to 36.2 seconds. Thanks to the third fastest time in the longest stage of Saturday’s leg, Simon Wagner moved up one place to seventh overall. The fourth fastest time was set by a very good J\u00e1n Kundl\u00e1k, who lost 13.6 seconds to Kopeck\u00fd. Ale\u0161 Jir\u00e1sek (\u0160koda Fabia R5) also produced a clock with an off-track excursion. Martin Rada (Fiat 124 Abarth RGT) suffered a double puncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the historic car category, Vlastimil Neumann (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO III) still leads the intermediate classification, having won both Pr\u00e1\u010dov and Malonty. The first passage through the Mal\u0161\u00edn stage was cancelled for the historic car crews. The cousins Jure\u010dka (Subaru Impreza 555) finished second in Pr\u00e1\u010dov, while Ji\u0159\u00ed Ka\u0161par (\u0160koda 130 LR) finished third. On the long Malonty, the experienced Jind\u0159ich \u0160tolfa finished second and he also took the silver position. Ji\u0159\u00ed Ka\u0161par was third in the overall standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday’s passage through the CB Auto Rallye Arena super special stage fell prey to Filip Mare\u0161, whose Toyota remains unbeaten on this specific stage. He set the fastest time 1.2 seconds ahead of second-placed Dominik St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd (\u0160koda Fabia RS Rally2), with the Austrian-German crew of Wagner \/ Ostlender third. Between fourth Dominik St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd and fifth Jan Kundl\u00e1k (\u0160koda Fabia R5) there was a 5.5 second difference. After completing this spectator’s ersatz, the crews headed to their mechanics for a half-hour service. This gave the competing cars the opportunity to get back into shape before the final section of the competition, which included repeated passes of the Pr\u00e1\u010dov, Mal\u0161\u00edn and Malonty stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The repeated passage through the short Pr\u00e1\u010dov did not change anything in the running order. Simon Wagner was the fastest, with Jan Kopeck\u00fd finishing second, a second behind. Filip Kohn, who also has experience in world rallies, crossed the finish line third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jan Kopeck\u00fd won with a minimal lead of 0.2 seconds, Simon Wagner finished second. Third was Filip Mare\u0161, who set the same time as the Austrian Wagner by a tenth of a second. Erik Cais set the fourth fastest time and reduced his lead on the third placed Mare\u0161 to 6.9 seconds. In the category of cars with one driven axle, Filip Ocelka led after the eleventh stage, Filip \u0160ipo\u0161 was second with 12.8 seconds behind and David \u0160tefan third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best at the end, or the last stage of this year’s Rallye \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov was the legendary Malonty. Simon Wagner and Hanna Ostlender were the fastest, and this great result meant that Adam B\u0159ez\u00edk jumped to sixth place in the overall classification. Erik Cais also pulled away and with an excellent second time on this timed section he secured second place overall in the competition. Filip Mare\u0161 came in third and the bronze place also belongs to him in the overall ranking of the race. The fourth time at Malonty (even so, it improved by 0.5 seconds compared to the first pass) did not change the fact that Jan Kopeck\u00fd and Ji\u0159\u00ed Hovorka drove to the absolute victory in the 52nd Rallye \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov 2025. Jan Kopeck\u00fd also rewrote the historical tables of the South Bohemian competition, because he won here for the ninth time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vlastimil Neumann and Martin Hlavat\u00fd won the historic car category in start-finish style. Their Mitsubishi Lancer EVO III was the fastest on all the stages that were run. Ji\u0159\u00ed Ka\u0161par and Pavel Adamek finished second in their \u0160koda 130 LR, the Jure\u010dka cousins in their Subaru Impreza 555 finished third. Jind\u0159ich \u0160tolfa and Zden\u011bk Hawel did not break their incredible luck this year either, their Ford Escort RS 1600 was stopped by a clutch failure in the final stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Results of<\/strong> 52.
