2023: WRC2 with Toksport and new Fabia.

from facebook

✍️ ��, ��, ��!

Very happy to announce we'll be driving a brand new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 with Toksport WRT in 2023 ��

Fantastic to have Monster Energy's support as we get ready to fight for the WRC2 championship! See you in Monte Carlo! ��

A good move for Oliver to return to WRC2 and try and do it properly as he should have before progressing to WRC1.

Also, Lindholm/Solberg/Gryazin/Pajari/Bulacia/Ingram(?) a pretty strong lineup for Toksport.

Against...Rossel in a Citroen, maybe Suninen in a Hyundai, who else?

If you're promised a long term plan with a top WRC team where you'll be allowed to develop without pressure or expectations then you accept that deal. Not his fault that the team then imploded and completely changed their strategy and attitude.

Having said that, it's good for Oliver's mentality to have a season of stability away from the chaos and the pressure. Will be a massive thing for him to refresh.

I know he was promised these things, like Adamo promised for Ott a lot of things.

But still my point stands, it was too early for him to do a full season in a rally1 car

Oliver was in Hyundai in a 3rd car, a point scoring car for the manufacturer, not in a 4th car or in a B team like Katsuta was.
There's no way in hell Hyundai was going to just let Oliver drive with no pressure without expecting at least few good results here and there.

Their (Hyundai) words at the time are more worth than yours having all the aftermath.
