Riccardo Scandola, brother of Umberto (the driver), and his sort of manager or somenthing similar, is publishing on facebook Fabia R5' pictures. No official statement by Skoda Italia but it seems the car is there. I don't think they will use it next week for Targa Florio btw, to less time for all the preparations etc

For sure this won´t be the Skoda Italia livery. Look at Kreim´s car and you will exactly know how would it look like. Just Italian flag instead of german one.

Can't wait to see her in the road! Btw I just noticed that Scandola will be at rally sardinia wrc in june, but with the s2000. Hope he will be ready to drive the r5 instead...let'see

Targa Florio entry list :

Something average for this event, we have to bear in mind it is a very long trip to Sicily even for Italian drivers. Missing also Bernini -Hankook team with three Fiesta R5.
On the other hand some local guys, who can be pretty fast (Riolo and Runfola).
If I remember correctly, Pirelli tyres are not performing well in the heat - if there will be sunny and warm weather, of course...

I can not belive this is happening - yesterday on the 1.stage at Targa, Andreucci was already handicapped by gearbox defect. In the first morning service zone his mechanics succeeded to swap the gearbox in 16 minutes ! He was penalized with 10 seconds due to late exit.....
