Will Loebs team buy a new T16, or have they bought a second hand one? (Or two?)

Bogie secures first UK win for a ŠKODA Fabia R5
“I was very impressed with the build quality of the Fabia R5. The car has proven to be very competitive overseas, and I’m confident it will be just as competitive on the British stages too,” said David Bogie. “BRC is full of very good drivers, but I’m obviously looking forward to competing against Elfyn Evans again. This will be the first time we’ve competed against each other in like-for-like machinery since I beat him to the BRC title in 2011, so we’ll be pushing to win!’’
Bogie will return to the BRC in the opening Mid Wales Stages rally, which takes place on 5th and 6th March.
Scottish rally driver David Bogie secured a first victory on British soil for the ŠKODA Fabia R5 by winning the Red Kite Stages on Sunday. The former British Rally Champion was taking part to test the CA1 Sport-run Fabia R5 ahead of the opening round of this year’s British Rally Championship. In wet and windy conditions, in which he had to contend with poor visibility, Bogie secured a 41 second victory over the six stage gravel event.
“It was important that we could fine-tune that for muddy Welsh gravel ahead of the opening round of the British Rally Championship. It was a very good test and it was good to get a win for ŠKODA, and the first win for a Fabia R5 on British soil,” said David Bogie. “To finish 41 seconds ahead of Julian Reynolds, who is a very quick driver, shows the pace we were going at. We’ve even been hitting some of the rough stuff just to see how the car reacts, and all credit to ŠKODA Motorsport on building a fantastic car.”

Not sure what the regs say, but it looks like the get a longer distance from the roof to the wing, if that could be a benefit. The engineers here can probably answer possible reasons they have to go for this option?

Puskádi has received his Fabia R5 this week. He's going to debut it on Canarias, but he says that the car is free to rent for the rest of the season. He himself will do some Zone Trophy or Mitropa Cup rallies if the car will be available for those dates.
