Sorry for off topic but the WRC (if it comes) is going to be based on a not yet introduced stock car.

and current Fabia is only available 5-doors version, still all photoshops are always 3-doors...Quote:

I would expect an announcement from Skoda before the end of the year and testing to begin pretty soon after.
I guess we will see chosen or potential 2020 drivers in Polos next year.
Re: Kopecky I doubt they would give him a full season in a World Rally Car, but I could well imagine him testing and at least asphalt rounds.

Mads Ostberg, Stéphane Lefebvre and Spaniard Pepe López have been in charge of tasting the Citroën C3 R5 in the Portuguese sections. So did José Pedro Fontes, though with his own unit. #WRC
This looked quick, if videospeed is normal.Quote:

R5 will be WRC, ERC and Norwegian Championship rallies, he said to parcferme.no
SRT took 200th private Fabia R5: http://www.autosport.cz/img/clanky/b...5f05fe866d.jpg
They have sold 200 ?Quote:

Yes, 200 sold. How many more built I don't know.
Last one we know on eWRC is 226: https://www.ewrc-results.com/carinfo...a-r5/?car=3579
+ 30 shells of reshell
C3 team @ Citroen can be proud, the car is competitive on both surfaces!
Sales will blossom, and we have one more car that will fight for victories.
Good for the sport!
Is it? Tidemand is going in circles around Lefebvre when he has all four tyres. It's for sure better than DS3 but I would wait a little bit with cheering.
Was thinking the same, although it wouldn't surprise me if Tidemand went in circles around Lefebvre if they were in the same car...Quote:

They are at comparable levels as drivers.

Since posting our images and videos of the Iriz R5 test, it seems half of Malaysia has been on our pages. They’re definitely passionate about their Motorsport! https://t.co/PKPqfVjWOz
Nice article about the making of Chris Ingram's Śkoda R5:

I thought the BHP is around or nudging 310 now, at least on the works cars? Is 271 the official figure Skoda put out, for some reason?Quote:

Any news on the Polo homologation date?
What about the Iriz, will it be August homologation for that one?
Any news if Toyota has started on their R5 project?
Wery soon after these two are launched we will pass 500 R5 in the market. Not bad in 5 years!
500 should be already achieved. Ford and Skoda have already 200 chassis made. With Peugeot Citroën and Hyundai that number should be no problem then.

Yeah, I'm almost sure I read somewhere that Fiesta #250 and Fabia #200 have already been built.
Sold, not built. They have builded more than those customer cars...Quote:

Ford ~ 270
Škoda ~ 230
