    The Polo is still one of the top R5 cars, so I am guessing they will sell whatever they have left, and maybe build a few new ones as well.

    Do you think VW would have continued the program if R5 had been chosen as new top class?

    Without ever ongoing development the car falls behind its competitors in half a year. Nobody being serious about his rally program would buy such car now.

    And I'm pretty sure a lot of those who bought it feel bitter now.

    Also notice how many drivers switched away from the Polo for this year. Kajto, Veiby, Lindholm, Ciamin...

    I heard that the car is pretty expensive to run and not an easy one to maintain. Only talk though, I don't know any owner personally.

    But there are actually 4 manufacturers only, when VW left - Ford, Skoda, Citroen and Hyundai...

    Andras Hadik finishes 2020 Mikulas Rallye in the 4th position, but, what is more important, he wins this year's Hungarian Rally Championship. This title, together with Fourmaux's victory on Canary Islands, is probably the biggest achievement for Ford Fiesta Rally2 so far.

    Final results of Mikulas Rallye:
