Trivia: Even though the old Fabia S2000 was widely regarded as class leading, the new Skoda Fabia S2000 seen at Rallye Monte Carlo has been using newly developed dampers by Sachs, which will also be used later on in the Polo R WRC.

They were incredibly fast until Ogier went off.

Why no mud flaps? mud flags are a requirement for WRC cars so why isn't it on the test car?

@SuicidalLooney On tarmac events WRC cars usually aren't equipped with mud flaps as it would be useless.

@behangman probably because its cold outside and tarmac is wet and slippery+ leaves... ;)

[behangman]

Looks awesome, sounds awesome. But lets be honest, it is sliding ALOT on the tarmac. I cant wait what this car will do on mud and gravel.
