This was Argentina few weeks ago, and just a fraction of the stuff they take/bring (otherwise to many pictures :D ) ... to put things in perspective ...
Volkswagen will test new drivers in five WRC events (starting Finland) this season. The car used will be Škoda Fabia S2000.
MaxRally | News | Volkswagen’s X Factor show gets underway in Finland
Last week I heard from several sources that Fabia 1.6T development was stopped. Don't know if it's true but You know that there's no smoke without a fire...
It is normal that Volkswagen is taken over the devellopment of the 1.6T, collecting all the data and engines and cars Skoda has collected. But it is also smart to have a 1.6Turbo Fabia, for 2012, for IRC purpose use, because the IRC wil have to switch from 2.0A to 1.6T, and Skoda is the best team to challange in IRC
In the moment I doubt they will do IRC or any other championship...
not even a Skoda 1.6T in privateer hands in IRC?
Is there any insight in the cours that the IRC will folow, will they stick to 2.0A even if all the cars will be outdated?
ken is to drive a Pirelli test car later in the year id say its only a promo runQuote:
