Golden Steering Wheel

31st Golden Steering Wheel
2nd Golden Handlebars

The awarding ceremony of the most prestigious polls of the Czech motorsport took place in the Congress Hall of The Hilton Prague on Friday 15 February. The Golden Steering Wheels 2007 were awarded in five main categories (circuit racing, rallye and marathon, hill climb, autocross and rallyecross, karts) and five special trophies (Eliska Junkova Prize, Jiri Sedlar Prize, Zdenek Vojtek Prize, Copilot of the Year, Speed Award). The three best motorbike riders were awarded trophies called The Golden Handlebars 2007 and the Golden Eye 2007 went to the best motorsport photograph.

In the category of circuit racing, Tomas Enge expanded his collection of Golden Steering Wheels to nine. Amongst the rallye drivers, the successful World Championship contestant Jan Kopecky came forth. The European vice champion Petr Vojacek is the best hill climber. In the exceptionally hard competition of autocross and rallyecross, it was the current continental Champion Petr Bartos. Tomas Pivoda then did not find a conqueror in karts.The Eliska Junkova Prize for the best woman racer was awarded to the first lady of the European Hill Climb Gabriela Jermanova. The Jiri Sedlar Prize for the most successful driver under 23 years of age will decorate the display of Josef Kral. Filip Schovanek, Roman Kresta's navigator, became the Copilot of the Year. The fastest man and thus also the holder of the Speed Award is Jan Charouz - during the famous 24 Hours Le Mans he took a lap at an average speed of 227.368 kph. The Zdenek Vojtech Prize is given to the person who left a distinct trace in the history of our motorsport. This time, it was Vaclav Blahna, the rallye legend of the 70s and 80s to collect it on the podium.As was expected, the fourth in the category 125ccm of the Motorbike World Championship and the winner of two GPs Lukas Pesek raised the Golden Handlebars over his head. There were two European champions beside him - an endurance rider Roman Michalik and a speedway racer Lukas Dryml.RESULTS OF THE GOLDEN STEERING WHEEL 2007
