I dont think Mitsubishi is aware if it is top notch or not. Who would ever try to build an R5 without best known technology?

They write that each time Kopecký did 12x the testing road at once simulating a nearly 40 km long stage. By the way it's part of stage Sychrov from Rally Bohemia.
Pontus Tidemand has been officially confirmed by Skoda Motorsport to compete in the APRC. The first round is in New Zealand on April 17.
But it seems that the debut with the new Skoda Fabia R5 will only be at the end of the year.

Ricardo75, "by the end" and "at the end of year 2015" are two different things. "By the end" most probably means: "We will not catch it till first round of APRC, but from second round we will be there with R5" (In my opinion) ..."Skoda PR" is totally new language, it sound like English, but it is much more like Klingonese :-D
The APRC cars are privately-owned. It depends when and if they already ordered R5. Anyway S2000 is fast enough for APRC.
Mirek, You are right, but as we both know it is not that simple. Somebody could be confused. MRF is private team, but Skoda motorsport is massively interested in this project and in presentation in Asia markets. ...And for example Mr. Hortek is in nearly all of the MRF team pictures.
