    risky choice for Lukas the c3.
    risky because erc has so many different events=many different setups.
    Not the same tarmac/gravel you can find at national champonships
    lets see how it will work.
    cross fingers for them.

    That's true. And it looks similar in many national championships.

    M-Sport have a new car on the way. I don't think with all the sales they have made, they be worried. And, even if the car it's still competitive, it's the first and older R5

    Meanwhile they probably have their hands full of R2 orders.
    Last weekend around 20 starts for the Fiesta R5, quite sufficient still, i`d say.

    But you can see that Fiesta R5 is loosing top positions in many countries. And this cars are important for M-Sport for selling the spare parts. So I think it will be big problem, same like brexit. And new Fiesta is coming, but it is one year late according to previous plans. And in same time will be also new Skoda, so very difficult for M-Sport to make at least equal car...

    Do you think slow rich drivers with Skoda R5 or VW R5 will easily beat the fast drivers with the latest Ford R5?

    Nobody knows as nobody knows the quality of R5 cars. And there is also question which fast driver will drive the latest Ford R5. But for sure M-Sport has lost a lot of customers during the last 12 months...

    Yes, it has. Normally people go after what they think it's fast... so Skoda have put a great name for themselves. Anyways, I even heard that the Skoda it's easier to drive than the Fiesta, and not only for one person.

    If we talk to the current versions, it is exactly opposite. For most of the drivers Ford is easier to drive. But each of that cars has different philosophy and for some drivers Skoda is better and for others Ford is better. It also depends on driving style. Thats why I am curious what will Luky do with Citroen.
