On the start line, ŠKODA cars were everywhere, hardly surprising as they were on home turf, though vehicles of other manufacturers could also be found in the mix. Even an exotic DMC DeLorean coupé could be found among the entrants.

Following the example of major regularity rallies, on the way the crews had to negotiate three measured sections, which they were required to cover in a precisely set time (a derogation by 0.01 seconds would lead to one penalty point), and two tests of skill at the steering wheel. The initial part of the journey was in ŠKODA’s main production plant in Mladá Boleslav, including the access road to a key element of the brand’s logistics – the central materials warehouse.

The number 132 is the star of the show as the latest Number of the Month, ŠKODA Storyboard’s series in which we regularly shed light on interesting facts about ŠKODA cars, on their past, present and future, and on events at ŠKODA, expressed through a particular number.
