I've quickly read through an article in Autonews about Renault and S2000. For them S2000 is (still) not interesting, because it isn't profitable for them. So don't expect a Megane S2000 too soon, unfortunately.

Yes, not so big surprise. Skoda was thinking about registering for second half of this year, but changed decision for next year. They have pre-agreement with Eurosport about it from previous year.

That surprises me.

Because S2000 is largely a customer forumlae, they ought to be able to benefit from a lot of free publicity when the cars are in privateer hands and perhaps even make some profit on the sale of the cars too. Peugeot and Fiat have both sold a large quantity of vehicles which must help towards the development costs.

Mark Higgins will be in Principe with the MG S2000.
