Impressive third place after three special stages in the strongest field of the season – this was the situation of Kajetan Kajetanowicz after today’s opening loop of Barum Czech Rally Zlin. Right from the start the Polish crew consistently set stage times among the frontrunners and began the second loop with strong intention of maintaining fast, regular and confident pace.

Unfortunately on stage four of round 8 of the 2016 FIA ERC the engine in LOTOS Rally Team car failed. Despite this problem Kajetan and Jarek managed to reach the finish line with a very good time but it soon turned out that it is not possible to continue today.
