Skoda S2000 in and WRC out

[RS]

According to the last rumour, Dudu could be Kopecky's teammate at First-Motorsport with "almost factory Fabias" !!!


The story says that Willy Collignon(manager of First) is talking to a big sponsor(no name)that looks interesting in entering rally WRC

Anything that sees Kopecky and Duval in the same team run by either or both First/CRT is good news. I believe Kopecky will get the support from Skoda Auto, so maybe Skoda Belgium can pay up for Francois. I'd imagine they'd get some new Fabias built by Skoda Motorsport as they did this year.

I agree completly with A.F.F. there are about 6 too many rounds in the WRC, what the hell was the FIA thinking? I really marvel at those unsung heroes behind each teams logistics.

I call for cars as close to stock but with added power Im not calling for a return to Group B I just like to see all the technology scrapped. bring back completly manual gearboxes! and add about 100hp It would be a hell of alot cheaper and funner to watch, maybe rally cars would go sideways again.

I agree with you when you say there are too many rounds. I'll say more: there are too many rallies on the same surface: Turkey, Cyprus, Acropolis & Sardinia.

But why would you want to see technology scrapped, how realistic is that? A manufacturer wants to impress potential buyers of their cars, that is what they entered the WRC for, selling cars! But if the rules would be static and manufacturers couldn't compete against each other by developing new technologies, they wouldn't stay in the WRC.

Okay, sideways action is nice, spectacular driving is nice, but if you want to see that all of the time, go to a drift event. Rally is the sport where you drive over public roads from start to finish as fast as possible.

I might be totally alone with this but haven't rallying gone more sideways after they got rid of active diffs. Having seen the footage this year, the drivers/cars seem to be much more sideways than year before

And what seem to be back too, is scandinavian flicks, at some parts

Any news on the Fabia S2000, any plans for when testing is supposed to start - and when the project is to be finished and they will start rallying and selling them ?

Probably next season at a guess.

Fabia S2000 should be presented at Geneva in March, start testing shortly after and may debut as a zero car on the Barum Rally.
