Here better video of the same test. It's near Bajardo.

Still sounds the best of the 4 R5 cars, even if it has lost some of it's early rawness.

Looks quite polished now too, I imagine it would be fairly competitive already.

Are Skoda staying in Belgium for R5 testing?

Has anyone else driven the Fabia R5 besides Kopecky, Lappi, Loix, Wiegand and Baumschlager?

I remember during Fabia S2000 development they used people such as Panizzi, Lindholm, Sainz (?)..

Isn't five drivers enough?

Isn't five drivers enough?

I should think so, I was just curious

[WUff1]

There are the Skoda works team drivers and on the other hand two older and very experienced drivers, who still could compete on a high international level, but who are now only competing in their national championships and retired of international rallying. But they still shine when ERC circuit visit their home countries. Loix and Baumschlager are long time skoda testers, too.

Baumschlager with Fabia R5. Unfortunately the author of the video stayed only at the end of stage but at least You can see some "race" starts from zero speed. The car is definitely much quicker from zero than S2000.
