    Looking forward to the weekend's action. It will be intriguing to see how the 208 performs on a different kind of rally.

    Last time this event was run (in IRC) Skoda won every stage and finished 1-2-3. Doubt that's gonna happen this time!

    Yes it is.. let's see if Wilson is true to his word and willing to come and challenge the 208 at some point

    Ah, so here's why they have a Qualifying Stage for a tarmac rally...

    Some serious cutting by the Skoda's on their test leads to this in the road...

    That was FIA (and possibly Eurosport) decision. Quite a lot of drivers and organizers were against it actually...

    That's why some organizers are forced to place anti-cutting obstacles in every second corner...
