Every VW rally WRC has been underfunded. What makes you think this one will be any different?

being underfunded does not mean that the will not run ok..... i think the car can be a top contender in the S2000 class after 1 or 2 years when they start running the car...... if you see how much progress the Polo has made in 1 1/2 year..... and now finally is ready to go in the IRC..... so for Skoda can be the same....

On the contrary, I have heard they are taing this new project rather seriously, including the involvement of Oreca who are highly respected.

The Fabia WRC was a good car but with the wrong drivers and management at the wrong time. The best results with that car came with the involvement of the Kopecky family in both departments when the car was already old and no longer being developed.

Wait and see on the Fabia S2000... I think it might eventually provide the most serious challenge to Peugeot in this category.

Since you are both part of the VAG cload Imperatore, you should invite yourself to the next skoda test to compare notes ;)

You have holes in your head Daniel.

Compare Skoda S2000 testing to any othet S2000 project present. See anything peculiar?

Well, I aimed the one in the middle.

Anyway, I feel very confident about this project. And I'm thrilled that I can't even wait to see it in action. If only they found a Finn to drive it. It would be perfect.

That's called a mouth :p

I hope it all goes well. But history hasn't been kind to Skoda rally campaigns. That's all I'm worried about :)
