Desi Henry is a long time Skoda guy. Meirion Evans is using an I20. Important to note with him that his dad hires out rally cars, so a good customer to impress...

Have been looking at the new Fiesta photos and tests for days now.

And just watching WRC2 cars at SS1 in Sardinia made me realise how old and basic the original Fiesta R5 really is now.

Cant wait to see the new car in action in Finland.
