Sorry, but that is nonsense. Kopecký is no shareholder in Škoda. 100% owner of Škoda Auto is VW already for more than ten years. Josef Kopecký has much less influence in Škoda Motorsport than people think and the seat of his son is not granted at all.

It's not me who told it :D

I didn't even had any bad feeling about this anyways, in East Belgian Rally some were complaining about Kopecky the Czech etc..(I understand them too also though) But there's nothing u can do about it anyways :-/ . U can't rewind the time :) . I hope Loix will do some impressive stuff in Cyprus go full throttle don't think on points because it's mathematically possible but very difficult. Loix knows how to drive on gravel like on Cyprus did the rally and drove Acropolis quite a few times. Now hoping that Neuville enters too would be ridiculous if not..

I'm always thinking positive, Mirek :D

Old Kopecky is one of directors in Škoda Auto.

No, he isn't. Why do You keep repeating such nonsense without at least a try to verify it? It's nothing secret...

People , you talk about stuff you don't know . Jan Kopecky didn't have a great season although he's fighting for the title , but that doesn't mean he suddenly became a "daddy driver"

Because the original maps were so **** nobody can quarantee the accuracy, but these maps are totally great anyway. ;) :)
