By Dubbed the Prize of Czechoslovakia (in home nation language named as ‘Cena CSR’ or ‘Cena Prachovskych skal’), from the early 1950’s to the late 1970’s, various famous racing names including World Champions and TT winners/TT racers sampled the iconic Jicin street-circuit (14.500 metres / 9 miles long track).
Examples of Jicin race victors across the 50’s to 70’s were Kel Carruthers, Jim Redman MBE, Jack Findlay, Neil Tuxworth, Silvio Grassetti, Franz Kroon (grandfather of potential Manx GP 2026 newcomer, August Kroon).
Plus, TT experienced Czech legends Frantisek Stastny, Gustav Havel, Frantisek Bartos, Stanislav Malina, Vaclav Parus and Frantisek Bocek.
The Jicin road race meeting was-renewed in 2013, taking place on current circuit layout (3.300 metres / 2.05 miles). Three years later the first and only Supersport race in the event’s history took place.
Now six-times IRRC Champion, Marek Cerveny, emerged victorious ahead of overall Jicin lap-record holder, Slovakia’s first ever TT racer, Miroslav ‘Laki’ Sloboda (1.20.664 – No.1 Jicin lap-time) and much-missed, former Ulster Grand Prix and Cookstown 100 competitor, Oldrich ‘Olin’ Hanak.
Last weekend, race victors at Jicin included Patrik Kolar (Moto3/GP125), the most winning racer in ‘300 Curves of Gustav Havel’ – Horice history and originally from Horice, fifty-two years young, Marek Zima (Sport Production 125).
2026 Jicin, eleventh edition of modern times, race results, not featuring yesteryear classes, are as follows:
