Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[mknight]

With the economic situation and having just bought Opel it must be doubtful there will be a new 208 R5.

The latest news are that PSA is on the way up with record sales, including Opel.

Unlike Ford who is heading the opposite way....

Exactly. Opel has had its first profitable year in a long time.

Money already invested by PSA in the C3 R5 I cant see duplicated in another 208.

And Peugeot already pulled WRX and Dakar.

Another good driver switches from Ford to Skoda. This time it's Jan Cerny from Czech Republic. First event - Rebenland Rallye in Austria.

That's not really accurate description. He returns to the Fabia serviced by his own team after one year spent in another Ford-equipped team.

To be correct, it will not be same car like two years ago, also team will be different

No ERC for him?

I don't think so. He said, that with the budget that he has, he can drive max 4-5 rallies in ERC. So he prefers to spend this money on Slovakian and Polish championship.
