Totally 23th Fabia for Printsport (and they have 3 Polo R5 also)

Has some team picked more R5´s ?

In Skoda Motorsport Finland's press release, customer program manager Šárka Králová says no one else has bought as many Fabia R5s as Eero and he is in top 3 of Skoda Motorsport customers that have used the most money.

EKS team is going, not Mattias himself as only driver. Probably 2 cars attack on ERC and/or WRC2 level.

Today (Tuesday, September 24) the first of four test days was held that Hyundai Motorsport planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the developments developed for the i20 in the R5 version. The start of this intense test program was Andrea Crugnola who traveled about 250 kilometers on the asphalt around Mazamet (south of France).

The driver from Varese worked closely with the engineers of the Korean company, focusing above all on the new suspensions that immediately appeared extremely fast and effective. What is the antechamber of an ongoing collaboration? For now, nothing is decided.

Certainly an excellent opportunity for Crugnola, which is not new to these types of activities anyway: already Citroen Racing and Renault Sport have involved it several times in the development tests of DS3 and Clio R3T in the past years. Now it's up to Craig Breen, who starting tomorrow will continue the work started by Italian.
