29/08/2008 02:51. In many ways it is disappointing that the Fabia only ran as zero
car; it seems that Kopecky may have been the only one capable of
taking the fight to the 207 armada of Loix, Vouilloz and
Bouffier last weekend. However, Skoda are determind to
get this car spot on and it has already completed over 5000kms of
testing in the hands of experienced drivers such as Carlos
Sainz, Sebastien Lindholm and Raimund Baumsclhager as well as
Kopecky himself. This is in rather stark contrast to the MSD Opel
S2000 for example which nearly ran as zero car on the WRCs
Rallye Deutschland without previously having turned a wheel!
It is now expected that the Fabia could run as zero car again
before this IRC season is out, with Sanremo pencilled in as it's
next outing. Skoda Motorsport chief Michal... //
