I heard also about coolant leak in Andreuccis car, but that's not confirmed
There could still be a change of seeing a Skoda R5 from the beginning of 2015. Of course they (Skoda) have made their own decision but the regulations could make it possible.
ARTICLE 13: PROVISIONAL HOMOLOGATION
Manufacturers have the possibility of obtaining provisional Group N or in Group A (in this case, the necessary information must be added in the complementary information section of the VK-S2000-Ra form) homologation of the family and the model from which the kit is derived, before the total production necessary for definitive homologation has been reached, on condition that:
- cars of the model and family under consideration are freely on sale to customers;
- the total production of the family under consideration (25,000 units), and of the model under consideration (2500 units), is completed before the start of the last event in the Championship of the current year;
- all other homologation requirements are fulfilled.
If the full production is not completed before the deadline, the manufacturer:
- will be excluded from all the results of the current year;
- will be fined a considerable sum of money;
- will be suspended for one year.
They could quite easily do that, I mean they are clearly going to produce more than 25,000 Fabias in a year unless the world ends.
March wouldn't be so bad though, they would only have to miss a couple of events as Peugeot did this year.
Finally Pieter Tsjoen on 4 rounds of belgian championship(from Ypres)in a 208 T16 ;)
I thought he would drive in a ds3 R5...maybe he chose 208 for a bit more reliability?Quote:

We were talking a while back about the torque of S2000 engines. Skoda claim 253NM @ 7000RPM, although they also only claim 275BHP....
