Guess what I have noticed.

Since Skoda started to do well, we are posting much less on the forum.

When we have nothing to moan about, we go quiet.

Good news for Duval to be back for WRC in Germany.

Hehe, good point. It's been a bit easy this year for Skoda, although Azores was a bit of a disaster relatively speaking!

I know. Only one driver on the podium. Terrible really. I'm amazed I can cope.

The bad luck was bound to arrive someday. They couldn't go through the whole season unscathed. And Jan was very unlucky being unsighted by another car's dust. Will Wilks be back for the next one?

Interesting to see how they get on in the next rally.

It really was a shame for Kopecky as he could have taken his first gravel win. The really good thing about this year for Skoda is that their drivers are both becoming good allrounders with Jan progressing a lot on gravel and Juho on tarmac.

Next rally is Madeira where we have Kopecky, Hanninen and Loix driving. The only driver with previous experience of that event is Loix, and it is a rally that requires a lot of past experience so Jan and Juho might not do so well there.

Wilks won't be back for Madeira but will be back for Skoda's home rally the Barum Rally Zlin in August where there should be a bumper Skoda entry.
