Anyone know if these have already debuted or when they will?

Have Skoda played any jokers for the Fabia RS yet?

I saw some other videos and it didn’t after all, but maybe the driver was running without the updates.

Better sound IMO.. it lost that annoying put-put-put sound that made it sound like a two stroke outboard motor.

I remember that but not with the new car.

According to Dirtfish, Toyota had a Fabia RS Rally2 for benchmarking:

And (interestingly) Erik Cais was the other driver:

Must be testing some upgrades since there are no upcoming events to prepare for.

Nice. Looks less silly than the Rally1 car.

i think the speed was there for the Fabia RS in Croatia, but their fastest drivers also had various problems (Solberg setup, Lindholm gear linkage, Greensmith punctures etc) but it’s also clear the...

Well much as I'd like to see Kopecky in an old 130, and yes he usually does win, guys like Mares and Pech are pretty quick at home so it won't be easy.

Toksport have a pretty stellar lineup for...

Big week for new Fabia RS Rally2. Kopecky finally makes a start in one at the first event of the Czech Championship (there was an idea he’d start in one at Barum last year but it didn’t happen),...

If you look at times of all MRF crews, their tyres seemed to work much better on Saturday than Sunday. On Saturday Llarena was running in a different road position to other guys and his times didn’t...

It’s a valid question but I agree with other comments that the best drivers were in the other cars here so wouldn’t want to draw too many conclusions.

My impression is that the potential of the...

What do we know about the driver? Related to Takamoto or is everyone in Japan called either Katsuta or Arai?

hey, what? it’s homologated already?

Looks like Huttunen is better off with an old Fabia in Sweden than the latest Fiesta so if Toyota can get their car to better-than-old-Fabia level they will be doing pretty well. Besides there are...

It's not the first defeat, there was also a Rally in Hungary end of December..

Don't know how much to read into Janner. It was close, Wagner is a good driver on his home roads. On the other hand...

Is Raimund the oldest Red Bull ‘athlete’?

Nice livery and great photos! It seems Skoda are delivering the new cars slightly quicker than they initially aimed for.

Maybe M-Sport can do what Skoda did with the Fabia Rally2 Evo which was a new homologation based on the facelifted road car?

You’d think they would take it seriously as it’s an important source...

Nikolay Gryazin just took the new Fabia's second victory at Rallye Hirvenal du Devoluy. He won all but one stage, Loubet was his closest rival but he retired after 7 stages with mechanical issues....

Does that car exist yet?

To me, the engine of the Yaris Rally2 looks weak, not just in comparison to the Rally1. But it’s early days, maybe it’s just something they knocked up for the initial test mule.

And Pajari apparantely. I guess those three will be the Skoda backed drivers in Toksport next year.
