I don't think so. Peugeot also has no its official team. So if there would be connection between Skoda Motorsport and CRT Kopecky like Peugeot has currently with Kronos, it would be OK.Quote:

I don't think so, unless you think Kopecky has been cheating for the last 2 years too? I just think the Fabia suited McRae very well, and he was able to make certain setup changes that were not allowed for the other drivers. I prefer to believe the Czech version of events, but we had better not go over all that again but look to the future :)Quote:

I would also be happy to see CRT run the team on-event and keep Skoda Motorsport behind the scenes. CRT have done a superb job for the past two years (better than the works team) and deserve to be rewarded.
Thanks :)Quote:

@ RS. It's true McRae got the whole package, something unfortunately Bengue, Paasonen and Tuohino never got and it started from the tyre service :mark: I don't think Kopecky have cheated, ever but I still think there was more we saw with McRae in Australia. But that's just my opinion.

I agree with AFF here. One should remember the camera is on the other side of a very open test circuit so it's not going to look stunningly fast, but it seems to have reasonable torque out of the slow corners which is not usually an S2000 strong point anyway.Quote:

They might even make a profit out it!Quote:

And about torque. I talked about it in my first post about monday testing and ewen those three testing days were enough to show big progress (and also quite diferent sound each day) ;)
Well we all know who were the people behind Fabia WRC program ;)Quote:

So are they using the 2.0FSI that used to be in the Octavia, and if so, have they used FSI technology on the rally car (it is allowed by the rules)
