    I'd really want too see the real thing in person, but owning a miniauture replica won't be bad either.

    He's biased, and maybe so am I but I do think he's right.

    PSA seem to have given up promoting their R5s with any works supposed programme at all.

    Skoda are relatively invisible being only in WRC2. That is probably good for promoting the R5 to private customers but fairly useless for the brand, possibly even negative.

    I was watching the Portugal highlights programme with my Dad (who probably knows more about rallying than the average joe) and when he saw the final results with Tidemand and Fuchs 9th and 10th he said "What happened to Skoda's good drivers?"

    Still it's the ERC itself what is the most negatively affected.

    Skoda didnt have anything to prove here after winning the Championship many times over ... and Peugeot didnt do themselves many favours with their 208T16 in the ERC anyway...

    The same applies to WRC2. What is there to prove against privateers? Moreover with zero or negative publicity for 8th-10th places overall?

    Hopefully Hyundai will do some serious ERC campaign and brings Škoda back by that.

    He won the last rally in France he entered. He was driving the old spec car, but since SLR has risen to a semi-works operation in some projects recently, I think they'll get it much sooner than later.

    It has actually done very well..

    Won pretty much everything it entered apart from two events, one of which was won by a WRC car, the other one he crashed.
