After an eventful opening two days at Sata Rallye, Acores, things changed for good with better weather. The fight for the top position were mostly even, with Jan Kopecky in the lead and eventually taking the rally win at the end of SS19.
"It's good and I am very happy, I have not done many gravel rally, this is my first win on the gravel. It was great, we are really happy. I was very close in 2010 and we crash, so I am very happy to win. We need one more (win) and that is the first half...", said excited Jan Kopecky, happy with his win.
Not so lucky, the former F1 driver Robert Kubica finished the rally in overall 6th place. He quoted at the end of SS19, "It has been difficult weekend for us, especially for today, some stages we did not have any pace notes becasue of the fog. We have been lucky and unlucky this weekend, but it has been a good experience."
