    And to think, a few years ago there was quite a split in opinion whether B-segment cars were too small for top-level (i.e. what we now know as Rally1 and Rally2) rally cars. This new Fabia, as well as other current rally cars are pretty perfect proportions to me.

    Tell me about it!
    My current model Fiesta only just fits in my garage. There was plenty of room for my Mk4 Cortina 40 years ago! Don't forget there was the Escort between the size of the Cortina and the size of the Fiesta in those days.

    what was the last time a "factory team" won the erc? (I mean... is it really allowed to run a factory car in rally2/r5 in erc?) Cuz I just started to follow it and it seems to me that the winner is just a privateer in almost all the occasions.

    Works Skoda team won the title in 2012 (Hanninen), 2013 (Kopecky) and 2014 (Lappi).
    Before them, works FIAT Abarth team won it in 2009 (Basso) and 2010 (Rossetti).
    But actual works team are rather rare in ERC, national works teams like Skoda Hungary or Citroen Spain are more common.

    Like others have said it's quite rare for works teams to compete in ERC, but such situations did happen several times. An interesting example was Bruno Thiry, who was competeing in ERC 2000 with works Citroen Xsara Kit Car, but... lost the championship to Henrik Lundgaard from Toyota Team Denmark!
