Jan Kopecky (Skoda Fabia S2000) got the best of Bryan Bouffier (Peugeot 207 S2000) at the European Rally Championship (ERC) season-opening Jännerrally, in Austria.
Kopecky had to overcome a puncture, in the earlier stages of the rally, to eventually beat Frenchman Bouffier.
Nevertheless, in the end, he came through... by only half a second, it must be said.
The tough winter conditions offered a perfect setting to Kopecky's heroic run through the field.
Raimund Baumschlager (Skoda Fabia S2000), the 53-year-old 10-time Austrian rally champion, completed the podium.
