Skoda official page talks of "a guest appearance". Good for them of course but a pity he is not driving in the top league.
A travesty thanks to finnish politics that turned a colossus manufacturer into a small village short minded amateur pile of garbage.Quote:

It's essential for him to keep in touch with competitive driving and WRC events where all the decision makers are. So smart move from him.Quote:

Will someone else be using the Polo in Monte Carlo?Quote:

I hope that Monte Carlo in a Skoda is a one off and and that I already in Rally Sweden can get on with a VW Polo.
It depends on the 2017 model of the VW Polo is homologated. If that goes through, it would be very good.
But then it's obviously also about bringing in sponsorship money to operate it.
On the other hand, if he gets his rear end handed to him on a plate then drumming up the future support may be problematicQuote:
