Matějovský Is to Meet Tomáš Kostka in Barumka

- 28. 8. 2015, Hradec Králové, CZE -

The 45th Year of the Barum Czech Rally Zlín that has been among the most prestigious events in the motorsports racing calendar in the Czech Republic is held this year. The tradition of this competition is closely linked to huge popularity that rally sport enjoys in the country. Thousands of enthusiastic motorsports fans set out for a journey to Zlín to watch the “Barumka” every year. What shows that the event is important is considerable media interest; last year there were 306 working journalists from 17 countries. Just this race will be the meeting point for two car racing drivers: Tomáš Kostka and Michal Matějovský.

Tomáš Kostka from Zlín is originally a racing circuit pilot. "Tomáš worked with our team when I was learning how to drive AUDI DTM. Those times I was following his valuable advice. He had entered many races in the DTM series by that time. Since around 2012, when he won a small Czech championship in a Citroën C4 WRC, he has been among competitors. Despite he has been back in races on circuits since that time several times, when he competes in rally he is always among the top-placed drivers," says Michal Matějovský about Kostka and goes on. "I’m happy I will meet him just here, in Barumka after some time. It’s his home even; twice, he’s got third place here, and he’s gonna enter the rally this year too."

"I haven’t been entering races too often this year. I’ve been concentrating on testing a new special GT class. But, naturally, I will go on the Barum Rally, and I’m happy I can work again with the agency ČESKOSLOVENSKÝ MOTORSPORT. I’d taken part in the Rally Vyškov as a test, which I won, so I hope I will be able to get good results also on the Barum Rally," said before the race Tomáš Kostka.

Invited by a FIA ETCC promoter, Michal Matějovský will be on the Barumka on Saturday, 29th August, and will be doing promotion due to the forthcoming round of the FIA ETCC held on the Autodrom in Brno on 4thth - 6th September 2015. Also the team’s car Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 used by the ČESKOSLOVENSKÝ MOTORSPORT just for such events will be on display there too. Then Michal will go to Most to take part in the programmes arranged in both VIP Autodrom Most and the Buggyra facilities.
