In the worst case I can call it a very refined marketing for Barum rally and invite You all to Zlín to drink Your beer with me

How can this 2017 Polo private entry be possible and Ogier had no idea... so much that he ending up testing Yaris & Fiesta ?

The first thing he would have wanted is a chance to continue in the Polo. I dont buy it.

No, but to me it shows he had no knowledge of the chance of a private Polo drive.

I liked this from @rallytravel:
So, Seb tested the other cars then rang Wolfsburg to say "you know what guys, we can still win this without official support". Possible?

Don't get your hopes high,folks.VW Polo R WRC '17 will join an extensive lineage of never raced rally cars like the TMG Yaris,Lancia ECV2,Escort RS1700T and more.
