it would be nice but it is not very likely since Wolksvagen and Skoda are the Rally brands of the V.A.G. , Audi is focused on Le Mans and DTM.Quote:

Somehow as the months go by I am losing confidence in the new manufacturers queuing up story. Lets hope VW Group come in, I somehow think they will, even if its with Skoda, maybe they are allowing Hanninen and Mikkelsen to develop and will be the works WRC drivers in 2012.
Škoda already started testing 1.6T WRC engine. Don't worry, they don't do that just for fun ;)
Good, i am pleased with that info. Apparently a senior person in Skoda was resported as saying Skoda is to stay in motorsport for a long time. This was at the Skoda function a week last Sunday.Quote:

Frankly I don't know if they are allowed to go to WRC under Škoda banner or if they'll transform the car into VW body as You suggested. We'll see later. The only sure thing for me is super production Fabia.
VW might come in with an R3Diesel rally car?
They are king of that for the road.
Škoda = :champion:Quote:
