And we wouldn't want little Skoda continually beating the mighty mothership, would we.... :)
Both brands could compete against each other in the WRC provide they were filling different market segments. Citroen and Peugeot did this in the early 2000s with the Citroen Xsara and Peugeot 206, their respective WRC cars as one was a hot hatch and the other was a family sized family car. The only other manufacturer that I can think of that could do this today if they really wanted to is BMW Mini. The Mini (Crossover) WRC and the BMW 1 series could compete directly in the WRC as their ideal respective models represent different market segments.

Yes, it is possible...
Norwegian media starts to speculate on Petter in a Polo in 2012 - would be cool !
Is the chance of VW entering WRC in 2012 more than 50/50 as of today ?
Yes. It is much more. Within a couple of months there will be at least two big news in the WRC..!Quote:
