So 4-5 rallies in ERC or 10-12 rallies in Slovakia and Poland. What would you choose?

I know Grzegorz very well and also background of the team and plans. Also thats the reason why I wrote, what I wrote.

Kopecký with Fabia Evo again. This time on Barum rally stage Pindula: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWhuysvm2fc

Fabia Evo is not accurate... it is new Fabia ;)

It's not. It's still based on Fabia III and PQ26 platform. New MQB A0 Fabia IV will come only in 2021.

Having seen it at the show, I have to say the Fabia looks much better in person/livery than it does in the footage from testing. The front actually looks more purposeful than the previous design.

And the new 208 looks bulbous and overly tall in many of the picture I've see, but in person it actually looks better proportioned. It looks a good bit smaller than the C3. I can imagine an R5 version looking similar to the AP4 Audi A1 in New Zealand...
