    Many still prefers the Fabia R5 over the Evo. It is easier to set up, and has a wider sweetspot.
    The Fiesta Rally2 is hard to get a good setup for loose surfaces, it still gets smashed by the R5 with similar quality drivers.
    A few get the new Fiesta to work for them, PG Andersson is one of them.

    The Polo have been superb for good drivers that have tested enough, and know how to set it up for their taste.
    Many still prefer the Polo over the Fabia Evo.

    Lets see if Skoda managed to surpass the Polo with the Fabia RS.

    And the collapsing suspension. But speed wise there was never a problem with this car.

    I would point out though that Kajto challenged for this year’s WRC2 title being outside of a factory supported team.

    According to their announcement today the Fiesta is to soldier on for the foreseeable future, with M-Sport stockpiling Fiesta shells and parts as the road car stops production in 2023.
