    It appears that around midnight somebody came with an old Opel Vectra C and stole the trailer with the car inside (possibly not even knowing about it). More info in Polish is here: https://www.facebook.com/WRCNewsOffi...type=3&theater
    Latest news - the trailer was found 5 km from the hotel. Unfortunately without Fiesta R5 inside. Special prize for finding the car is 5000 E.

    Looks a bit less likely they didn't know what was inside then.
    Steal -> move to another trailer -> disassemble for parts -> sell parts

    Same weird story as Max Rendina’s Fabia R5 that was stolen in Greece during Acropolis Rally 2017...

    How dumb you have to be to steal a pretty rare car like a rally car? What did they want to do? Selling parts via eBay ?

    Another VW Polo R5 failure?

    After unexpected problems in Argentina Kajto decided to withdraw his entry from Rally Chile. His fight for victory in Rally Argentina was scuppered by a failure. Problems with the car, not related to the company which prepares and services the car, need to be resolved.
    - I decided that we will take part in one of the forthcoming rallies when the car manufacturer provides safe and permanent solutions to genuine problems - says Kajto.

    More details at Kajto's website:

    Crikey. Shows how difficult it is to build a good R5 car when even VW, with all their WRC success, struggle with reliability problems.

    Could it be that all those teams and drivers, who were placing orders for Polos R5 before it was even homologated, were buying a pig in a poke?
