New issue of VM magazine tells @MotorsportSkoda is selling their Fabia S2000s and won't compete until R5 is ready. Could be 6 months break.

I expect to see them in Ireland, otherwise they may have to write off the 2015 season as far as titles go.

Nearly the same is written in Austrian Automobile drivers association ÖEAMTC december news, of Skoda not competing at Jänner Rally and starting season when Fabia R5 is ready - so concluding from this no Rally Liepaja, too.

I think new ERC rules are good for them - it could be enough for Skoda. Nobody knows what is happening at Peugeot Sports at the moment, if they stay in ERC with Sainteloc, future of Breen and Abbring unclear etc.

Wondering whether Skoda will drive its test car as "0" car during winter or spring somewhere. :-) Janner would be great for it, but I just hope for something like that. More probably they won´t be there.

This is highly possible...

If this is true homologation should be March/April ,correct?

[nafpaktos]

Yes

We will see...

It's quite obvious that they keep some back door opened by not saying any precise date. It can happen that something isn't satisfying for homologation and the date must be moved. Don't forget R5 rules allow only very limited development after homologation.
