    Another VW Polo R5 failure?

    After unexpected problems in Argentina Kajto decided to withdraw his entry from Rally Chile. His fight for victory in Rally Argentina was scuppered by a failure. Problems with the car, not related to the company which prepares and services the car, need to be resolved.
    - I decided that we will take part in one of the forthcoming rallies when the car manufacturer provides safe and permanent solutions to genuine problems - says Kajto.

    More details at Kajto's website:

    Crikey. Shows how difficult it is to build a good R5 car when even VW, with all their WRC success, struggle with reliability problems.

    Could it be that all those teams and drivers, who were placing orders for Polos R5 before it was even homologated, were buying a pig in a poke?

    Of course you can sell the parts and if not directly in Poland for sure you can do that accross the border in Ukraine.

    Well, you're probably better informed than me, so I guess you´re right. But as an owner of a Fiesta R5 don't you buy the parts directly from M-Sport?

    The rich teams do but plenty of others don't. It's same like with stock cars.

    They should've left the R5 market to their sister company...

    I bet Škoda are having a chuckle at them

    The motorsport department which VW built has to be used for something and the R5 projects have proved they can be self-feeding or even profitable.
