The Kotarba brothers, in their preparations for the Polish Rally Championships, competed in the Estonian Otepää Talveralli Rally.
“There is still some time till the start of rally season in Poland, so in order to prepare for it as much as possible, we wanted to make the best of the winter conditions this year.
After the cancellation of Raliul Zapezia – Covasna, which we aimed for, we decided to start in the Otepää Talveralli Rally. The event was almost 84 km long in a very compact formula.
There were a lot of world class drivers known from the WRC – Ott Tanak, Thery Neuville in the latest evolutions of WRC cars and many other very fast drivers in Rally2 cars. Our tactic was to test our new Citroen in the Rally 2 specification during combat conditions, while gaining experience in driving on studded tires, which we do not often use.
Our plan was to avoid unnecessary risk – after all-day competition on 8 special stages, we took a good 11th place in the overall classification, and sixth among Rally2 cars.
We hope that these kilometers will pay off later in the season. As always, we would like to thank all our partners, thanks to whom we can start this year:
