Stuart accepts invite for Rally Bohemia
From: http://www.stuartjonesrallying.com
Welshpool based rallying ace Stuart Jones has accepted an invite to contest the sixth round of the Central European Rally Championship, the Rally Bohemia, in his Lico Wheels backed MG Super 2000 Sport.
23 year old Stuart and his Birmingham based co-driver Andy Bull will travel across to the home of Skoda, Mlada Boleslav, 40 miles north east of Prague to contest the 600 km long two day tarmac rally and are both understandably excited about the opportunity. We received an invite from the organisers to compete on the rally, and to be honest it was an offer we couldn’t refuse. Not only does this rally give us the opportunity to spend more time in the car, but it’s also a great way of showcasing the MG Super 2000 Sport to a whole new audience.
The route is characteristically made up of fast sections of smooth tarmac, putting a high demand on accurate pace notes. Stuart has always had a great confidence in his notes and as such should go well this weekend. And with the rally being a round of the FIA Central European Rally Championship the MSD run project should be able to challenge for overall honours as the young Welshman goes head to head with some of the top drivers in mainland Europe.
The Rally Bohemia begins with a super special stage in Boleslav on Friday 4th July. From there the cars move out to the ‘proper’ stages for two days of high speed action before returning for a ceremonial finish on Saturday evening.
Stuart and Andy are backed by Lico Wheels, PIAA, Rallytech, Teng Tools, Motorsport Insurance Service and Dacha Oak Products and currently lie second overall in the British Rally Championship.

Stuart Jones was forced to retire from Rally Bohemia after SS10 with power-steering failure. Jones had been happy enough with progress until then as felt had the MG set up well for today’s stages and had been as high as 11th O/A after setting a couple of fifth fastest stage times.
His retirement in the MSD MG S2000 echoes that of Mark Higgins’ from Ypres as Higgins also suffered power-steering failure in the BGM MG. Jones next rally in the MG is the BRC Rally Isle of Man at the end of July where he hopes for a similar result to the JCMR where he was second O/A. Roman Kresta won the rally driving a Mitsubishi Evo9 and he would appear on course for the Czech championship this year.
