Autograph sessions and parties at Barum Czech Rally Zlín

24. 8. 2015 - Petr Linhart

Every year Barum Czech Rally Zlín aside from the nerve-wracking rally also offers rich cultural program so that the fans can use the opportunity to meet their favorite crews outside of the roads. The regional city is for the whole week all about the Barum rally. The various events are perfect for stealing photos or autographs or to simply have a chat with the crews.

First event of such kind is held in the Shopping Centre Zlín on Kvítková street on Tuesday 6 pm where there will be the traditional autograph sessions with the drivers. Before the top drivers sit behind the desk the spectators can enjoy rich cultural program which starts at 3 pm. The top drivers like Jan Kopecký, Craig Breen, Kajetan Kajetanowicz or the ambassador of Barum rally Jaromír Tarabus have already agreed to come and delight their fans.

In addition, there will be a second autograph session on Wednesday at Car Showroom Škoda - Samohýl in Louky. There will be on display two racing specials Škoda Fabia R5 and from 7 pm all four crews competing with this car will be present. Beside the factory crew Kopecký-Dresler other Czech crews like Tarabus-Trunkát, Kostka-Kostka and Dutch crew Kobus-De Wild will be there as well. After the autograph session there will be a private ERC Welcome party for the drivers registered in European Rally Championship in a nearby museum of historic cars.

Already a traditional evening on Thursday that is dedicated to historic cars will be held in service area of Star Rally Historic right in the middle of the former Bata factory area. At 6 pm begins a talk focused on a history of Barum Team with some of its former drivers. This talk is hosted by Dalibor Gondík and an autograph session with this year's participants Zlín will end the Thursday's packed evening. Since we have mentioned Star Rally Historic, on Saturday evening in Star Club there will an announcements of results and an after party.

During Barum Czech Rally Zlín the fans can visit again Škoda Motorsport Park which opens its gates on Friday at 3 pm and will go on with some short breaks until Sunday 3 pm. And that is another opportunity to get Jan Kopecký's autograph. Moreover, Škoda Motorsport prepared a dancing fashion show, a rally simulator and other amusements that will undoubtedly brighten up fans' day.

The highlight of the cultural program will be the final after party which takes place on Sunday evening and night after the crews' arrival to the finish line.
