Re: APRC 2014
Kopecky deserves WRC. He did very well with old Fabia WRC. Skoda have market on Asia?

Re: APRC 2014
It's good for the championship to have a good driver as him. It can attract other good guys to fight with him.
If he is running with MRF, I hope Gill will be his teammate. He was pretty fast against Atkinson and Lappi, it could be an interesting opposition btw them.

Re: APRC 2014
Yes, Škoda confirmed that Gill would stay with the team. So reigning APRC and ERC champion in one team Hopefully there will be some opposition also from other teams. I wonder how fast Jan can be on such unknown and almost all-gravel roads.
The swapping of faces between Škoda championships is obviously done for marketing reasons.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Re: APRC 2014
new regulation for 2014 APRC :
cars built according G2 regulations in Australia will be allowed (similar to R3)
cars built under JN (Japan) regulations will be allowed too (for example some JN3 are Toyota GT86, Subaru BRZ, ...). The Toyota Vitz used by Young this year was a N car modified from JN2 regulation.
Example of JN cars : http://www.ewrc-results.com/final.php?e ... shiro-2013

Re: APRC 2014
Yes, according to rumours at Rally of Thailand, Gill and Kopecky will be in a pair of brand new Fabia S2000 cars for the MRF-Skoda Team.
The two 2012 MRF cars have been sold to a Belgium=based team.
In other news, APRC privateer Dermott Malley has just bought the Ford Fiesta R5 car that Andreas Aigner drove this year. I expect his son, Patrick will drive it in 2014 APRC."Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

Re: APRC 2014
Great to see another big car there. We'll see if Patrick Malley is able to fight sometime with them ...
