It is still not decided how the factory team will look and where it will race but I'm sure they want to return under new rulles.
PS Reading official Skoda information is pure waste of time. They never say anything important and rarely something which is true or what all people doesn't know for a long time.
A bit OT but there was an intresting article in Vauhdin Maailma motorsport magazine about Janne Tuohino and his career. Article covered also the time with Skoda and have to say I feel sorry for the drivers in the team at that time, they never had a chance to get decent results under the management team had...Quote:

As far as I know, Skoda ain't planning coming back as an official team but more consentrated on offering the cars for the use of a private teams.

Weird. I updated all my codecs last night and still can't get it work :confused:Quote:

But they need to go and drive rallies as soon as possible, with and without start-number are two different things !
Abarth: I don't agree. The car was so far only 3 days in testing track (except a huge runway from which those official photos are). The car needs much more development before starting rallying.
A.F.F.: Realy strange because I don't know anyone who has the same problem among Czech people :( About Skoda's plans. You may hardly know their actual plans. Their offcial statements are just marketing garbage. In my opinion they will return if they succeed with S2000. Otherwise it maybe be the end of Skoda motorsport at all...
