Regarding new Fabia, J.Porter says earliest Catalunya and even that is not certain.
Think he also said "at this level" (WRC)Quote:

But before Spain the only good and obvious choice is Barum, which might be too early.
Barum as zero car again seems likely. I doubt Kopecky would swap to the new car until the title is wrapped up.Quote:

You'd think with the time it's taken producing the new car Skoda would've timed the full competition launch better.
The publicity at their home rally of Barum as the part of the Czech championship and a round of the ERC would've been a great platform.
Well a year ago Hyundai was late (twice delayed I think), and when finally competing the car was both unreliable and slow. Took at least half a year to be competetive.
Surely something Skoda wants to avoid.
Actually I wonder which recent R5 was both competetive and reliable when released?
Polo wasn't reliable
C3 wasn't competetive besides smooth tarmac.
