    Great news about Skoda possibly joining the sport again on a higher level.
    Missed the Fabia cars on the stages after 05.

    Mr. Hrabánek, Škoda Motorsport boss, confirmed there that Škoda will continue in S2000 development and in the same time starts development of 1.6T engine for future WRC car which he considered important for Škoda because new WRC cars will be allowed in all FIA championships, not WRC only. As far as I understand that is the main reason for building that car.
    Fantastic news....
    Passion will make you crazy, but is there a other way to live ? :burnout:

    Good that Skoda finally came out from the closet, there has been allkind of rumours about this for a long time already.
    Hopefully this gives Hänninen a way to get out from the toss challenge, and PG a seat too.

    Janne Touhino was entered with Team Abu Dhabi for MERC points in Rally Jordan. Strange as he is also entered with team JanPro in SWRC/S2000 World Cup

    Nice chap, aren't you Tomi.

    Perhaps without the opportunity to drive in IRC Juho would have had nothing at all. Now I am sure he is a better driver because of it and maybe he has a chance to progress that into a WRC drive too which would be good for him and good for the sport.

    It was good for him, at that point yes, but in several interviews he has hinted that his aim is the top level of the sport, this could be his chance.
    It sure would be nice for us Finns too, if we get 2 new drivers driving on the top level next year.
