Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[Fast Eddie WRC]

As a guy who wrote that eWRC article, I can assure you, that I´m not so big fan of Skoda, my most favourite drivers usualy drive some different machinery, usually from M-Sport So, no Skoda bias. And I am aware of limitations of data, it was written in the beggining of text, that I counted as crash only those retirement which were labeled as "accident" or "accident damage", so i would suppose, that in real, number of retirement related with accident would be even bigger. Last but not leas, I´m happy, that you like it even if it was in Czech

I didnt suggest any Skoda bias by eWRC, I was just wondering why only the part on reliability was highlighted here by a Czech...

The M-Sport Fiesta R5 is a huge success in every way and no interpretation of statistics can show otherwise.

Where are you trying to go with this? Nobody said anything negative about M-Sport here. But you are "bullshitting" because they aren't on top in some interesting but unimportant statistics. If one person is biased, I know who it is...

Quite funny suggestion, coming from you... guess Mirek didn't praise M-Sport and British drivers enough in his simply reporting statistics.

All 15-18 Polo R5's that will be built this year are already sold. Next year they plan to build 40-50 cars.

It's relatively small numbers, I think; for example Škoda's 70th chassis started in Rally Portugal 2016 - one year after homologation. In two years (1 and half actually) they build around 100 cars (based on ewrc-results stats). And (I believe Mirek mentioned that) Škoda's facilities are quite small. VW has WRC program, so they should have enough room to build more cars, also to find customers shouldn't be problem, as ~18 cars already sold before homologation.

It's not only about building the cars. You need to have enough parts to build them from (they are often from small specialized companies with limited production capacity). You need to have enough testing capacities, enough spare parts for customers and You need to be able to provide aftersale services for the customers. The whole machine needs some time to get in shape.
