It is no secret, that organizer Auto Klub Košice in the past proved to prepare its events on good sport level with more than hundred competitors. In last years is in Slovakia more then hundred competitors is literally meta, may be overcome just during the 38. Rally Košice. Before the start of this season organizer entered same event as last year - Slovak and Polish Championship, FIA CEZ Trophy and Slovak Rally Cup. In time when the Supplementary regulation were published came change. The event will be widened about Hungary Championship. For fans it is good news for organizer more worries. If it will be really so we had talk with head of organizer committee Peter Szczeczina.

To last minute you waited with publishing of the Supplementary regulation, which for beginning contained two nations Championships, and the end will be three. What happened in the last week, that after 7 years in Košice will be up - to 3 championships - to Slovak and Polishwas added Hungarian Championship?
"We can´t to speak about weeks, it was exactly six days. Yes, the publishing of Supplementary regulation was late, we planned to publish it after Rally Tatry. 3 days after Rally Tatry addressed us deputies of MNASZ. As we know, from primarily planned 6 events for Hungarian Rally Championships on Easter was missed Rally Eger. Now MNASZ Rally committee received information, that organizer from Miskolc is unable to prepare his event, primarily included in calendar. They had to be looking for working out. One chances was to include to calendar of Hungarian Rally Championships some over broad event, The fact that decision was for Košice, probably for previous four Hungary Championships on tracks in Košice."

How many crews are expected from Hungary?
"Rally in Hungary from start of this year is fighting with troubles. There are regress of numbers organizers and numbers crews. Our hungarian friends expect to come to Košice about thirty crews."

How will be affect for preparing of event?
"The preparing will be more exacting. More exacting was also adjustment of the Supplementary regulation, on it we were working in last days. National regulation of these 3 countries comes from FIA Regulation, but in each are some nation differences. More affect will be by numbers of competition crews. On happy the event was primarily proposed only with 2 passages for each SS (as for one exception), so primarily schedule on what we have asked for the permissions, stayed without changes and the capability of tracks are enough. Problem is with dimension of service car park in barracks on Moyzesova ulica, which is unequal for expected numbers of cars (130). We did decision with 2 service car park places - one in barracks on Moyzesova ulica for Slovak, Polish and Hungarian Championships. For Slovak Rally Cup cars is designated service park on Prešovska road in Weltauto area."

How will be release these three Championhips and CEZ classification to result of 38. RallyKošice?
"All crews will be created to 2 groups. In one will be competitors for Slovakia Rally Cup. They will be evaluated in absolutly order and in volume classes. In the second group will be crews who entered to all 3 nation Championships or next competitors, whose will be participate in Rally within the ambit of Middle Europe Zone (FIA CEZ Trophy). Of course, except this will be these crews evaluate as well in classifications in their own Championships by each nation Regulation."
