    I would rather see Skoda in WRC than VW. But, of course, the most I like to see is them both

    It´s 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.

    And yes, we should just cherish the fact that, despite in a lesser form, Skoda is at least involved.

    Id prefer a more prestigious company like VW in WRC over Skoda any day!

    Would love it to be a Scirocco as well!!

    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!

    The engine already exists for some time It seems We'll see almost same car in WRC in VW bodyshell and elsewhere as Super Production in Škoda bodyshell mokin:

    PS VW is actually quite worried about Škoda in the moment and decided to direct it towards different and cheaper opponents on car market as Renault (they already started to stop some extra equipment from stock cars on German market). 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.
