Does anybody know whether trt.hu team bought new car(s) or is it still that one from last year? Hoping for less mechanical failures for Koci this year. He is fast, but he has to show it. I mean less mechanical failures in comparison with failures of all P208R5T16 last year :-)

Talking of jokers, I understand that certain parts are nominated when the car is homologated which can then be changed later.

Does anyone know how many parts they can nominate and how many may be changed per year?

Nobody able to answer this?

The car from picture is the "old" one KN S 053

Nobody able to answer this?

No. That's exactly the problem of this sport. Nobody understands it anymore and nobody is able to follow all the changes and the whole chaos that comes with them.

Says nothing in regulation. Only this:
JOKERS
All the parts homologated on the VR5 Variant form must be used in their entirety. These parts must not be modified.
The use of a part homologated as “Joker” on a car will be noted on its technical passport.
It will no longer be possible to use the old part as from the date specified.

Skoda will be testing in north of Portugal from 18 to 22 April...Loix,lappi,tidemand will be the drivers

I don´t know why but I have strange feeling that Loix will drive some international events on Tarmac for Skoda this year. I think the cooperation is very tight. We will see.

I would like to see Loix do an ERC programme and Kopecky some tarmac events in WRC. Soon, we will know...
