The talented Czech has entered the Jänner Rallye, which hosted the ERC opener between 2012-2015, in a Škoda Fabia Rally2 Evo.
Although Mareš has yet to formally announce his plans for 2024, he’s indicated his desire to mount a full-season ERC campaign for the second year running.
While the Jänner Rallye is unlike any other event on the ERC calendar due to the likelihood of snow and ice on the Tarmac stages, it represents an opportunity for Mareš to build his competition experience ahead of the new ERC season getting under way on Rally Hungary from 12 - 14 April.
“I can't wait for my premiere on the Jänner Rallye,” Mareš said. “I’ve been to watch this beautiful race many times. It looks like some snow will come over the weekend.”
