Kopecký and Loix yes. Most of the events in private teams (however factory supported). Another Škoda driver in several IRC events should be Dutch gentleman driver Bernhard Ten Brinke.

Guy drove 3-4 rallies not because of his injury and had still 3 points lesser than Magalhaes. What Loix did was exceptional en u can't compare that. But tell me who could they chose else besides Guy? Skoda UK investing in Mikkelsen says enough..

...difficult to say just now, but back in the JWRC years Wilks drove even with Meeke, Aava, Sandell... only maybe Sordo and Andersson were slightly better... but in the last season we are lacking proper comparison :-(
