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.

Does anyone know if the road where Škoda was testing today was used as a stage during Acropolis rally?

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?

this video i posted seems that is the same road as Acropolis.Watch the work by loaders/bulldozers at the edge of the road.
I am not 100% sure,i know that from Monday are near Loutraki and testing.Will be silly to dont test at a Sundays part of some stage,when it was easy to lap times of 208 Peugeot and fiesta r5 cars.
As i know i will confirm it.
