Petr Semerad A 19-year-old Petr comes from a well-known racing family. His father Josef raced in rally competitions, while his older brother Martin even made his mark in the World Championship. “When I was 14 years old, I won the Junior Star competition against almost 30 other participants, and I was the youngest one. Originally, I was supposed to race in the Octavia Cup, but it wasn’t possible due to my age. The minimum was 15 years old, so I had to race with a Formula Gloria. In 2017, I switched to a Formula Tatuus Abart of an Italian team and together, we’ve won the Central European championship,” said Petr Semerad. One of the currently most talented Czech drivers has raced in several car competitions as well. From Peugeot 208 R2 and Opel Adam R2, which helped him to become the youngest driver ever to win the Rallysprint series in 2018, he has moved to Skoda Fabia R5. In 2020, Petr raced his car in the national Czech championship and also in the one-day Rallysprint series again, where he took another win in the Autoclub Cup P2+ category.
