In the worst case I can call it a very refined marketing for Barum rally and invite You all to Zlín to drink Your beer with me :)

How can this 2017 Polo private entry be possible and Ogier had no idea... so much that he ending up testing Yaris & Fiesta ?

The first thing he would have wanted is a chance to continue in the Polo. I dont buy it.

No, but to me it shows he had no knowledge of the chance of a private Polo drive.

May be no one had, it could be work in progress?!?

I liked this from @rallytravel:
So, Seb tested the other cars then rang Wolfsburg to say "you know what guys, we can still win this without official support". Possible? :D

Love it!

Don't get your hopes high,folks.VW Polo R WRC '17 will join an extensive lineage of never raced rally cars like the TMG Yaris,Lancia ECV2,Escort RS1700T and more.
