Škoda confirmed to continue in rallying. They will do IRC, Czech championship and selected events of ERC to prepare for possible merge with IRC. There was no word about SWRC but I expect them there as well. Kopecký is sure to continue, Hänninen most likely also.
Abbring's and Neuvilles test with the Citroen DS3 WRC was also a test for the Citroen Sport mecanics/engineers in how to deal with a non-French speaking driver. Both Abbring and Neuville had to speak Englisch to the staf and mecanics, although they both can speak French :)
Mikkelsen will do SWRC, with SkodaQuote:

I know but I was referring to the real factory team (although I know Škoda UK is using works cars as well).Quote:

I gotta hand it to Citroen. They don't leave anything unresolved or untested.Quote:

Skoda UK did use factory cars, but they didnt have all the same factoryparts as Kopecky and Hänninen did have. But in the last events Mikkelsen got the same as the two others.Quote:
