Peugeot UK’s Kris Meeke and co-driver Paul Nagle are this week competing at the Barum Czech Rally Zlín (27-29 August).  Round nine, with only four IRC events left, is the 40th running of the Barum Czech Rally Zlín, and will be another key round for Peugeot UK and Kris Meeke.  With the rally taking part in main championship rival Skoda’s backyard, scoring as many points as possible will be the key objective.

The event gets underway on Friday evening with a ‘fantastic super-special stage’ run at night with a stage of three laps through the streets of Zlín that attracts 40,000 spectators, making for a great atmosphere.

Day 1 restarts on Saturday at 08.30 with two stages, before refuelling at Vizovice and another two more stages that include the longest stage of the entire event, before a midday service at Otrokovia. The morning's four stages are repeated in the afternoon.

Day 2 starts on Sunday at 07.30 with the longest 15.47 miles stage of the day. Another stage lies in wait, before a remote refuel at Spytihněv and a further two stages before the mid-day service. All four stages are repeated again in the afternoon, before the finish ceremony in Zlín at 15.24. There are 17 special stages in all, totalling 164.82 miles.
