The Fabia R5 sound reminds me a lot of the Octavia WRC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uzjPGhbEOs

It certainly sound and go more WRC-like than other R5. Let's see but so far the videos have made me very optimistic about this car.

I still believe it will be homologated 01.01.2015, or March at the latest and not "mid 2015" as Skoda say.
The car looks good already and they have 8 months until January. I hope the success of Peugeot might make them hurry things up a bit lol.

I don't know but it looks similar to the road they used for the S2000 tests pre-rally? Originally Posted by Mirek

this video i posted seems that is the same road as Acropolis.Watch the work by loaders/bulldozers at the edge of the road. Originally Posted by Mirek

That's the problem with all of this. It's all "he said that she said that somebody in the next street heard that ......" We're relying on sports journo's with no technical background relaying...
