    Koči is going to drive JWRC. I think his last season with 208 T16 was sadly a wasted one.

    A few lads maybe agree with you. The rest dont.

    Sometimes you should take the Swede-tinted glasses off Per

    Last year Kopecky scored more points per event than anyone. I do expect the other two have more long term potential but it is a shame Kopecky is not recognised by the team for his results a little more, but then it wouldn't fit with the plan..

    Press releases aside - I think the fact that Skoda have entered 3 works cars into WRC2 is recognition of Kopecky and his abilities. They didn't have to do that, and he's held a works contract with them for years. So he's not exactly in a bad position.

    So far Kopecký has delivered a lot more to Škoda than both Lappi and Tidemand together. That may change in the future but so far it hasn't been like that.

    I know that is very good for a driver to have stability like Kopecky has with Skoda, but I think he should get a real WRC chance. He is great all-round driver who is fast and consistent. If Skoda wants him to win championships he does it no matter if its ERC, Asia or Czech chamionship. It is just a shame that age plays such an important role. Besides, Kopecky isn't that old to be another Baumshlager or Loix to settle for endless national championships.

    Lappi and Tidemand are not pushed only because of their age...

    So why dont they promote him as #1 driver then? There must be reasons in the background. I´m not saying this because of the quote between the lines kind of bashing the two others, saying just because they are the future. Kopecky not.

    That's a good question and the likely answer is VW interest.
