Rally2 (ex-R5) News

The Skoda Motorsport team chose another path to develop their new car. A lot of developments and testing compared to MSport and PSA before launch.
Do you expect the Fabia R5 to pass the other R5s, and close the gap to the WRCars?

Quicker than other R5 cars, very likely. Close to WRC cars? No way... Maybe some old private Mini WRC from 2011. If it's close or beating WRC it should be because of the difference in level between drivers.

ŠKODA’s FIA European Rally Championship-bound Fabia R5 remains on schedule for its competition debut this season with ERC champions past and present taking the wheel of the new-generation machine during recent testing.

It is great. And probably Steve McQueen has a major part of it's immortality.

Does anyone know why DS isn't a brand for FIA rallies right now, whereas PSA planned to do it ? Because Citroën homologated the car under its banner ?
