Yes but they could develop further and just continue what VW start.. Just my thoughts.. It doesn't matter, I think that they will no come in top league for at least for a while. They said it a couple of times already. It's too expensive for them and no point if they keep wining titles in WRC2 year after year.

I am not aware they said something like that. Škoda is in perfect financial situation, it has a lot of money now. They have record braking numbers every successing month and the trend is still growing. In my opinion if they ever want to do WRC than it's now when they have more than enough money to spend and nothing else to prove in the second league.
Just to support the claim - for first 3/4 of 2017 they had operational profit 1,2 billion Euro (+28%) and the average profit from one car 10% which was second highest in the whole VAG behind Porsche (ahead of Audi).
Besides that their direct rivals on the market are nearly all in WRC...Last edited by Mirek; 12th December 2017 at 20:14.

Hope you're right Mirek. Again there were quotes earlier this year about Jouhki wanting to place Kalle somewhere where he could run a WRC for testing/experience. He can't do that at Skoda, but like you say maybe they like the look of the manufacturer long term. Plus Skoda do like to market their WRC success and heritage it seems.
Seems like a perfect time. Probably too good to be true but I'd love to see it.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Turned out to be an interesting race. Glad I decided to watch it. Too bad Logan went out. At least it was from racing hard and not his own mistake.
