According to Belgian site pitstop.tv Skoda Fabia S2000 will be driving as a zero-car in Barum rally in august with Jan Kopecky at the steering wheel. Can any of our Tsech friends comfirm this, hope it is true as i will visit Barum again this year. :D
Most probably it is not true, but who knows...
Hey Mirek, are you sure it won't compete as a zero-car in Barum or are you just thinking it won't be there. Most of the time i think you are giving good information, so i would just like to know if you are sure about this matter or not. Thanks. ;)Quote:

"16 June 2008 - Successful tarmac test of the new Škoda Fabia Super 2000. Besides experienced test drivers Jan Kopecký and Raimund Baumschlager, the team recently testing the competition version of the Fabia Super 2000 in Austria included two times world champion Carlos Sainz. The Volkswagen factory driver won the Central European Rally with a Race Touareg this year in April and contributed to the double success of the new Scirocco in its class at the 24-hour race in Nürnburgring a few days ago.
A number of big names of motor sport attended the test rides of the new Škoda Fabia Super 2000 in order to check the project progress, including Hans-Joachim Stuck of the Volkswagen Motor Sport Department.
The test was not Sainz's first experience of driving a Škoda – the Spanish driver won the Shalymar Rally (near Madrid) with a Fabia in the autumn of last year, and so he felt like trying out the new version of the Fabia Super 2000. “I have got to know the Škoda Fabia really well, and I can see a huge step forward as far as the development of the competition version is concerned“, said Sainz, authorised to take part in this test by Volkswagen Motor Sport Department Director Kris Nissen.
Commenting on the project, Dr. Eckhard Scholz, Škoda Auto BOD Member responsible for technological development, said: “The involvement of experienced competitors such as Carlos Sainz and Hans-Joachim Stuck highlights the importance the Volkswagen Group attributes to Škoda's motor sport initiatives and gives valuable stimuli to the development of the new Fabia Super 2000.“"
