Sure not. The motorsport department is quite small. They outsource a lot of activities, bodyshells, engine building and rebuilding etc.

R5 are the best regs ever for a rally car

huge numbers!!

The number of ordered cars is unconfirmed and may not be true but it is confirmed that Motorsport Italia alone ordered 10.

Even if the number would be oversized it should be something like that. And honestly even if the number would be half (85 orders) it is great news for everybody (and also for the sport itself) . Wishing Skoda motorsport customer service all the best. And as Jarek said: "The more, the better" :D

Mirek, according to ewrc-results, the last chassis number of F S2000 is really Nr. 98, but I assume some numbers were never used. ...but whatever, it is between 90 and 100. Nothing I would argue about.

For sure all chassis numbers were produced but of course some were never seen on public. I am convinced that the person who told that to me has a more accurate database than ewrc.

Off course, our database is not the official Skoda motorsport database :) they are very strict with chassis info. We have infos from drivers, owners, photos, fans,... It is not 100% correct but is better than nothing and we are open to people that knows more.

On Fiesta R5 we have better accurancy. Almost 100%

I have just had a look at the WRC2 standings after Wales. What a disastrous year it was for Craig Breen! In ERC he was quite easily beaten by Kajto and in WRC2 it was even worse for him. Not a single win and only 9th in the final standings, behind such drivers as Al Kuwari and Protasov... Let's hope 2016 is better for Craig!

Final standings:

What will Hannu's team use it for?

Probably Juha Salo’s new car. His Peugeot 208 T16 is for sale on http://www.rallycarsforsale.net/.
