Škoda Motorsport changed livery for warm sunny days

**Hartusvuori** · 24th May 12, 13:54

They obviously didn't read my enthusiastic post earlier this year, about the blacker livery. I said I need to see it live. I've done my share and I've been waiting. Now this... is not bad at all

True. Winter is always cooler - in terms of rally car livery as well, it seems.

Is Guy Wilks doing anything this year?

**Mirek** · 27th May 12, 09:48

I thought he would start in Australia with Honda but I think You would know that if I was right.

**Plan9** · 28th May 12, 08:20

I have heard nothing, at least not in APRC. Maybe it would have been better if he had tried to get a seat at something like Proton. He is wasting his time with Honda.

On his twitter there is a comment "Ypres looks like a good challenge" but that was quite some time ago.

It may not look like that but metal is really popular here and especially in the Barum rally area with big metal festival in July in Vizovice (at stage Zádveřice). I was there many times

Delecour is working on a deal to do Sibiu in a 207 S2000.
