One more video on the Evo(?)/pre '18(?) Fabia:

Btw, apparently autosport.pt talked to Skoda M staff and they've explained that Gronholm was only invited to give an external and impartial opinion about the R5 Fabia...
Or more likely learn what the benchmark R5 is like before starting to test the Polo.Quote:

I've used the dots to remark Skoda guy’s irony…and this time even autosport.pt journos understood it was a joke!Quote:

Pieter Jan Maeyaert is building Fiesta R5 #204 ready for Spa Rally mid march.
Well we don't know what future regs are (at least nobody here has said) although I suppose the manufacturers already do.Quote:

Plus those joker parts are due to debut in Portugal so it makes some sense.
Still the talk about Evo... PLuto explained pretty well that it's just marketing name without much practical meaning. It's a car with probably some new joker(s) and that's it.
That's why I said whatever you want to call it.. "car with probably some new jokers and that's it" isn't too snappy phrase.Quote:

Maybe someone should tell them that it´s illegal...
After all Peugeot is T16 and nobody calls it T16.
For me EVO means latest spec.
