"We are negotiating with towns and villages for the rally to be included in their generally binding decree on night peace so that neither crew nor spectators will miss one of the most attractive sections of our competition," said Luboš Šalát, Clerk of the Course and Chairman of the organizing ÚAMK Automotoklub Rallye Český Krumlov.

Detailed information on the track and accompanying programme will be published in the next weeks.
