2026 ERC Barum Czech Rally Zlín

One of the staple rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship, the Barum Czech Rally Zlín runs on fast, twisty tarmac stages around Zlín and Otrokovice. Expect intensive special stages, a central service park and strong regional support.

Organised by Autoklub České republiky and the Barum event team, the 2026 edition runs 14–16 August with full ERC entry lists and national categories on the same itinerary.

A compact, spectator-friendly tarmac rally in the Czech Republic with multiple vantage points close to service and town centres.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Fast, technical asphalt stages that reward close-up viewing and give a clear sense of driver skill.
• Service park in Otrokovice/Zlín where you can see crews working between stages and visit team displays.
• Strong local atmosphere with food stalls and merchandise near spectator points.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive with a printed or downloaded stage schedule from the official website, pick one or two nearby stages to watch in depth, and spend midday at the service park for pit-side action. Use local parking and observe marshals' instructions; public transport or walking between close stages is often quicker than driving.

Good to know:

• Road sections between stages are public roads and can be busy; follow event road closures and marshal directions.
