Great news..
I read an article from VM magazine where the head of Skoda rallysport or whatever rephrased his statement. He earlier said that Skoda will not participate WRC with that engine when they had a car ready for the current rules. But now he has changed his mind and said it would be possible and interesting.Quote:

btw... sorry, I just noticed folks here are discussing this same matter in news & rumours thread.
Itīs a logic step for VW to make after being involved in Desert racing. WRC is the future for every carmanufacturer.
Earning money on Skoda for privateers is just the way to make it go around.
As much as I like Skoda, I'm very anctious to see a manufacturer as a big as VW in WRC. It's just a massive impulse.Quote:

Id prefer a more prestigious company like VW in WRC over Skoda any day!
Would love it to be a Scirocco as well!!
Great news if confirmed :)
No problem, I was questioning myself to start a new topic or not. But it deserves a new topic, if only it could be confirmed!Quote:

The problem is that Škoda rose at the expense of VW especially on German market. So they will for sure try to present VW itself as higher profile brand.
VW has bigger brand and will invest more money into the project..
