The First car ( Blue show car ) had the Polo S 2000 engine and parts... i do not know if that has changed ? i also hear rumors of ORECA doing the engine development for the Skoda S 2000 ?.... and i also believe that if the project will not be full factory supported like with Abarth or Peugeot Sport France then the project is going to fail for sure... look at VW and MG, they will always stay on local markets and never on IRC or PWRC level.
Skoda will be ok, remember Skoda Motorsport are an in-house operation like Peugeot and Abarth and not run by an outside team. It is not clear yet whether Skoda will have their own operation on-event or subcontracted out like Peugeot-Kronos, if so I guess their 'premium team' will be CRT.Quote:

i hope so.... :) .. because the car looks fantastic and i know many drivers are waiting to order one when it is availeble, lets wait for more testing results and the Homologation date...... Suzuki is also Pushing hard to get the car running half this year.... so good there will be some competition.
Sorry, I do not get you.Quote:

Here is the first gravel testing video. It is from autocross track in Nova Paka (European championship). It was mudy. And there are also some extreme hills there... Video made by Skorpion (the ones who play RBR probably know):

Thanks Mirek.
Sounds great! Do you know who the driver is this time?
Must hand it to the Skoda boys and girls - They are not hanging around, this is an impressive test calendar. Hopefully they are getting the answers they need to develop this into a winner !
