Rally2 (ex-R5) News

PSA clearly said no unless Opel starts to generate profit. That's it.

Or maybe they start generate profit after start producing competitive rallycars, competing in WRC2 and ERC. Like other manufacturers, showing your sportive brand to the market.

In some cases one might ask, which came first, profit or engagement in rallying?, so to speak.

Skoda are closing their Fabia R5 twitter account and redirecting people to @MotorsportSkoda instead.. may or may not be something to read into that.

Nobody said it loud and there is no 100% proof but there are far too many indirect signs that they are working on WRC return in 2020.

If this is true I hope that Kopecky gets a seat in the team. He would deserve it, after this long time with the team.

Probably a test driver. Jan it's a really good driver, but it's a bit old as of now, let alone in 2020

Skoda WRC factory guys would most probably do all WRC rounds recces during 2019 (in case of 2020 WRC comeback) so we will see quite soon who it is gonna be.

Sorry for off topic but the WRC (if it comes) is going to be based on a not yet introduced stock car.

and current Fabia is only available 5-doors version, still all photoshops are always 3-doors...

I haven't noticed that at all I'm quite sure that no 3D is about to come.
