I thought Freddy was an/the official test driver?
If they are running it on Bohemia I would expect it on Barum too, but not sure who with as Lappi and Wiegand will certainly drive the rally and I guess Kopecky too. Baumschlager?
Skoda is following the same recepie as with the S2000 and VW in the development of their 'Panzerwagen' Polo WRC.
A lot of testing, development, more testing, development, testing last development and then Launch and use by Skoda Motorsport, and then start to sell it.
A bit different than the Ford and the PSA twins. But it has been working perfectly in the past, so lets see this time around.
or maybe they change that Lappi now and Kopecky then in R5.Quote:

Lappi was driving today, one short video on Youtube.
Knowing problems others have had with R5 reliability on rough surfaces, maybe Skoda are spending more time than normal in Greece.
Some more photos of Fabia III stock mule. Still with stickers but general lines are visible. Looks like first generation with sharp edges to me.
