He first got into rally at the age of 12 as a spectator at the Sigma Olomouc Rally 1986. There he met the driver Jan Klokočka. Even back then car racing fascinated Vojtěch so much that he longed to become a racing driver. He eventually succeeded in 1995, when he became Jan Trajbold Junior's co-driver. In 1999 he sat behind the wheel of a racing car for the first time. In his very first year he won the title of runner-up champion in class N up to 2 litres in an Opel Astra GSi, and in the very next year he became the champion. This also inspired him to move to the higher category of production vehicles with four-wheel drive and turbocharged engine, first in private teams and then from 2005 eleven seasons as a factory driver of the Czech Subaru importer. In 2015 he founded the racing team Racing 21 with the entrepreneur and mathematician Karel Janeček. He competed exclusively in the ŠKODA Fabia R5 car up until 2018. In 2019 he started with Veronika Havelková in the Czech Rally Championship with the new car: Polo GTI R5 and as a representative of the Czech Republic Autoclub also in the FIA European Rally Championshipseries. In the 2021 season, in addition to the Rallyprint series, he also took part in selected events of the FIA European Historic Rally Championship and together with his navigator Vladimír Zelinka won the title of European Champions in Group 2 with the OPEL Kadett C GT/E.

Karel Janeček (28. 7. 1973)

Team

Mathematician, economist, social inventor and co-owner of the racing team Racing21.

Mathematics accompanies him throughout his life and thanks to it he has also succeeded in business in the past. For him, money is energy that should help where it makes sense. That is why it also supports science, education, art, institutions and gifted individuals and devotes most of its time to projects that can improve the atmosphere in society and its functioning. He has been helping our society for a long time, both personally and within the framework of the six foundations he founded. His primary focus now is on the D21 voting system, protecting free speech, working with scientists at the Science 21 Foundation, and promoting the revolutionary Mathesso educational game. He also occasionally participates in car competitions in the role of navigator for driver Vojtěch Štajf, with whom he founded the Racing21 competition team in 2015.

František Rajnoha has been rallying for more than twenty years with short breaks. Over the past two decades, he has gained a wealth of experience in a variety of racing cars alongside known riders. He was interested in the rally since his childhood, when he did not miss the only Barum Rally and then the popular Wallachian Winter competition due to his home in Zlín. His journey to the navigator seat first led through the work of a mechanic, but in 1997 he first sat in the Škoda Favorit 136 L as a co-driver alongside Martin Kadlec. He started his rich sports career and his navigation relied on experienced Czech and Slovak competitors, such as Pavel Valoušek junior, Roman Odlozilik, Pavel Cervenka, Tomas Pletka, Josef Patl, Tibor Cserhalmi, Petr Gavlak and others. He gained success with his riders in countless cars, from production cars to R5 or WRC specials. He was also at the birth of Vojtěch Štajf's Racing 21 project and he has spent several seasons with this experienced rider. After a short break, he returned to the co-driver´s seat of the Racing21 team.
