Videos all describe the Lancia as Rally2, not WRC27.

I don't think Mikkelsen has any say in whatever Skoda does.

As ERC and 2x WRC2 Champion with Skoda, his encouragement wont do any harm.

I would bet they'll continue as they've been very successful in selling rally cars and their rallying activity gives them a good profile.

Impressive. 1 day and nothing on DirtFish. Ok, not Oliver at wheel to make 20 posts...

I know it's not the most important thing but are they testing with Michelin tyres?

Hankook today

Also from Rallye-Magazine:

Skoda plans to continue producing the petrol Fabia until at least 2031. The Czech company's successful Rally2 model is scheduled to be completely re-homologated by then – which, according to the regulations, is possible every four years.

This is probably the most exciting news in the WRC for the last 10 years. Not just the fact that's it's Lancia, but it's actually a new manufacturer joining the party. Lancia managed to keep this very quiet, so hopefully we will start seeing more surprises pop up before the 2027 championship kicks off.
