The latest test video of new Fabia Rally2, apparently with Kopecky behind the wheel. The route is part of the former Rally Bohemia stage.
Strong rumours flying around that the car will have its debut at Rally Bohemia as a zero car.

And Finland should be the debut in international competition.
Would have to be with a different driver as Kopecky will want to be in the main event. Meeke i guese who seems to have been the main test driver on all surfaces.Quote:
