Teemu Suninen entered the 55th Barum Czech Rally Zlín as the European Rally Championship leader, holding a 23-point advantage following a victory in Poland. Suninen, driving a Skoda Fabia RS Rally2, expressed caution regarding the event’s difficult 205.79-kilometer route, noting its fast forest sections and unpredictable weather.

Ultimately, Adam Březík won the rally, finishing eight seconds ahead of Suninen. The event included 105 crews from 19 nations and faced disruptions, including the cancellation of the first pass of the Bunč stage due to a serious accident involving Ireland’s William Creighton. Mikolaj Marczyk secured second place, finishing just 1.6 seconds behind the winner.
