Despite the fact that the Izra special stage has been used at the Rally Košice for more than thirty years, the administrators of this route changed their mind at the last minute and did not give their permission to use the road for this year.
Although the situation with the coronavirus is not developing the best, the organizers of the 47. Rally Košice are still working on the preparation of their competition. There are only 3 weeks left until the start.
Supplementary regulations are the most important and anticipated document at every event. The ones for the 47th Rally Košice have been published and bring a lot of important information.
After a one-year break caused by restrictions due to coronavirus, the 47th Rally Košice will take place in mid-October. The competition is prepared by its traditional organizer Auto klub Košice in cooperation with Automobilklub Rzeszowski.
47. Rally Košice will be held 14. - 17. 10.2021 in co-operation with Automobilklub Rzeszow and with the support of the town Košice and the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic.
At the jubilee 50th year of our Autoclub existence, for the first time in its history we must announce that the competition which we have been working on for six months and is well prepared, must be canceled. We are canceling the competition which was to be included in the Polish Championships again after a multi-year break, for which we have been trying to do for a long time, a competition that has the great support of the city of Košice and SAMŠ.
The reasons for our difficult decision are on two levels:
Three weeks before the start of the 46th Rally Košice, the organizers are still working hard on its preparation. They already have most of the permits in their hands and are still catching up with the necessary number of people or printed materials.
