In my opinion, they all should. In IRC it is within the manufacturers interest to have private cars performing as well as possible.

I still think that the last evolution of offical teams is the knowledge of the car, mechanical abilities and drivers abilities... not mainly in the car.

Look at the results some privateers achieve with private cars... for ex. Travaglia and Basso

In my opinion You can't get absolutely same car as factory car from any manufacturer. It doesn't matter if Abarth, Peugeot or Skoda. Factory cars are always a step forward (for sure this step is much smaller than in WRC). Otherwise it's about how much You pay, that good car You get.

Anyway, here is one Skoda...

Looks like it could be best 2009 event so far for Vouilloz(along with Rally Curitiba) :)

Kris Meeke blog is reporting that a broken injector and malfunctioning electrical components have been replaced in service. Should go a bit better this afternoon.
This is going to be a good event, especially tomorrow.

OK SS6 running ;)
