    ŠKODA MOTORSPORT PRESS RELEASE Page 1 of 4 ADAC Rallye Deutschland: Jan Kopecký and Pavel Dresler conquer lead for ŠKODA in WRC 2 Pro › Despite suffering from a puncture on their ŠKODA FABIA R5 evo, last year’s WRC 2 winners Jan Kopecký/Pavel Dresler head the category at ADAC Rallye Deutschland › ŠKODA teammates Kalle Rovanperä and co-driver Jonne Halttunen slipped of the road and dropped from the lead to third position in the WRC 2 Pro category › Enjoying their first rally with the new ŠKODA FABIA R5 evo, Fabian Kreim and Marijan Griebel hold first and second position in the WRC 2 category for private teams Bosen, 24 August 2019 – Recently crowned Czech Rally champions Jan Kopecký/Pavel Dresler (CZE/CZE) moved into the lead of the WRC 2 Pro category during the third day of ADAC Rallye Deutschland (22/08/–25/08/2019), tenth round of the FIA World Rally Championship 2019. Their teammates Kalle Rovanperä/Jonne Halttunen (FIN/FIN) encountered bad luck, when they slipped off the road during the first special stage of the day and dropped from the category lead to third position. In the WRC 2 category for private teams, German ŠKODA crews Fabian Kreim/Tobias Braun and Marijan Griebel/Pirmin Winklhofer hold a double lead going into the last day of the rally.

  • Factbook 2019 Wrc Factbook 2019 / Prograde Photo of the Year Wrc Factbook 2019 / Intro
    FACTBOOK 2019 WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / PROGRADE PHOTO OF THE YEAR WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / INTRO WRC FACTBOOK 2019 The 2018 WRC season will be remembered as the most exciting and dramatic in a generation. It is 15 years since a drivers’ title fight of similar magnitude and a compelling season-long battle involving three drivers was finally resolved on the last morning of the season in Australia. It was a similar story in the manufacturers’ championship. All four teams won rallies and three made the long journey Down Under still with an opportunity to claim the crown. Following a similarly enthralling and unpredictable 2017 cam- paign, when new-era World Rally Cars headlined a raft of major changes to the championship, it is clear our sport is in the midst of an unforgettable period in its history. Away from the close competition, the WRC has grown in stature. The year opened with a major launch at Birmingham’s Autosport International show and finished with a glamorous end of season gala in Sydney and with the cars showcased once more in front of Milan’s iconic cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo. Our pioneering WRC+ All Live channel revolutionised the way in which fans could enjoy the sport as it happened. Every special stage from each round was streamed live, featuring stunning onboard and helicopter footage. It was supplemented by expert analysis and reactions from across the service park – adding up to more than 325 hours of live coverage. Our traditional TV coverage thrived too. The WRC’s global audi- ence and the number of broadcast hours continue their positive trend of the last years.

  • The MICHELIN Pilot Sport H5 Proves the Ideal Match for Rallye
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2019 FIA World Rally Championship Round 10/14: ADAC Rallye Deutschland The MICHELIN Pilot Sport H5 proves the ideal match for Rallye Deutschland’s multifaceted challenge This year’s Rallye Deutschland was won by Ott Tänak and his co-driver Martin Järveoja (Toyota Yaris WRC) who took command on Friday morning’s SS4 before going on to pop the champagne during Sunday afternoon’s podium celebrations. The Estonian pair took maximum advantage of the strength and grip of their tyres on the different types of surface thrown at them over the three days to spearhead an all-Toyota top-three after team-mates Kris Meeke/Sebastian Marshall and Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila came home second and third. Like all the cars involved in the World Rally Championship’s premier class, the three Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT-run machines compete on Michelin rubber. Germany was the 10th round of the 2019 WRC but only the third sealed-surface fixture since the start of the season. One of its specificities is the wide variety of road surfaces it takes in, ranging from asphalt to abrasive concrete, while the stages themselves are narrow and lined with sharp stones in many places. As ever, one of the rally’s highlights was the long Panzerplatte test (41.17km) which criss-crosses the Baumholder army ranges and which – true to tradition – produced plenty of drama on Saturday afternoon. This year’s menu featured a total distance of 1,160.35 kilometres, which included 343.95km divided into 19 special stages, while the weather was hot and sunny throughout.

    ŠKODA Motorsport Press Release, Page 1 of 4 Victory at festival of speed in Finland: Lappi/Ferm extend winning sequence for ŠKODA › Esapekka Lappi/Janne Ferm repeat last year’s victorious performance at their home rally in Finland › Sixth consecutive ŠKODA win in the WRC 2 › Two ŠKODA FABIA R5s in first two places › Michal Hrabánek: “A perfect performance from the entire team” Jyväskylä, 31 July 2016 – Great success for ŠKODA at the Rally Finland. ŠKODA drivers dominated proceedings in the WRC 2 class at the festival of speed in the forests of central Finland, the fastest rally on the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC 2) calendar. The “flying Finns” Esapekka Lappi/Janne Ferm repeated last year’s victory in the FABIA R5. In second place: their ŠKODA brand team-mates Teemu Suninen/Mikko Markkula (FIN/FIN), who competed in a FABIA R5 from the ŠKODA customer sport programme. The second ŠKODA Motorsport duo of Pontus Tidemand/Jonas Andersson (S/S) retired from the rally during the final special stage after impressive efforts to catch up. “At the Rally Finland, we saw a perfect performance from the entire ŠKODA team once again,” said ŠKODA Motorsport Director Michal Hrabánek. “I am particularly pleased for Esapekka Lappi and Janne Ferm, who were on a different level in their home rally and more than deserved their first win of the season. Of course I sympathise with Pontus and Jonas, who gave their all trying to chase second place and were punished harshly just before the end. However: two ŠKODA FABIA R5s in the first two places, a total of four ŠKODA teams in the Top 10, and ŠKODA drivers won 20 of 23 special stages.

  • Fia Rally Car Pyr Mid
    FIA RALLY CAR PYR MID 2021 EDITION FOREWORD Dear Presidents, Dear Delegates, Approved by the World Motor Sport Council in June 2018, the new FIA Rally Car Pyramid has been designed to structure the market, to adapt our categories to the automobile industry changes and above all to respond to the demands of the competitors. Whether it concerns drivers or teams, new young talent or gentleman drivers, everyone can now find the product that best meets their needs. The implementation of this pyramid has consequences, such as the nomenclature of the groups between Rally1 and Rally5, or the arrival of the new Rally3 cars from 2021. During a period in which the challenges faced are more numerous than ever, we have resolved to pursue our path to continue to make motor sport more accessible and safer. This document is intended to present the portfolio of cars accepted in the FIA Championships in 2021, so that you can, if necessary, adapt your national regulations at the same time as ensuring sporting equity and a sound coexistence with the vehicles from previous generations. We are always ready to listen to you, and my team and I remain at your disposal to discuss this matter, in person, or by email at the following address: [email protected]. Yours sincerely, Yves Matton, FIA Rally Director Credit: @World 2021 FIA RALLY CAR PYRAMID 3 THE FIA RALLY CAR PYR MID Just like single-seater racing, in which the most high-performance cars are Formula 1 machines, rally is adopting a similar nomenclature: the smallest figure is synonymous with the summit of the pyramid.

  • Powered Ford Fiesta
    For immediate release: 9th December 2016 Embarking on a new era in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), we introduce the Ecoboost- powered Ford Fiesta WRC – an innovation based on the new-for-2017 road-going Fiesta which will spearhead M-Sport’s challenge throughout next year’s eagerly anticipated season. Designed to next-generation technical regulations implemented by the FIA, the Fiesta WRC ushers in the latest technology in world rally cars. Despite being built to this new set of regulations, the class of 2017 evoke images which hark back to the Group B days of old and M-Sport’s latest creation retains a strong pedigree – sharing a platform with Europe’s number one best-selling small car. Based on the recently-unveiled, all-new, road-going Ford Fiesta, the Fiesta WRC derives its performance and style from a car beloved on both the road and the stage. Since its introduction into the sport, the Fiesta – in its various guises as R1, R2, R5, S2000 and WRC – has become rallying’s most successful model with countless victories and championship laurels around the globe. This year alone, the Ford Fiesta R5 claimed an impressive 159 outright victories – that’s more than any other R5 – as well as countless class wins and a second successive FIA European Rally Championship. Designed from a completely clean-sheet of paper, M-Sport’s latest challenger adds another string to the Fiesta’s impressive bow and the development team are confident of making a return to the top step of the podium. Looking the part, a fully CFD designed aerodynamic bodyshell features a front and rear splitter, dive planes and impressive rear wing which gives the Fiesta WRC a striking visual design.

  • M-Sport Will Be Hoping to Continue Their Strong Performance Next
    For immediate release: 12th May 2017 M-Sport will be hoping to continue their strong performance next week when the FIA World Rally Championship returns to Europe for the popular Vodafone Rally de Portugal. With Sébastien Ogier, Ott Tänak and Elfyn Evans all behind the wheel of the Ecoboost-powered Ford Fiesta WRC, the team have a strong chance of maintaining their immaculate run of podium finishes and the team are highly motivated to achieve that goal. Having contested a five-day test in the north of Portugal, the team worked on perfecting set-up configurations as well as confirming a number of findings from last month’s extensive research and development test so as to be best placed for the challenges ahead. Next week’s event also marks another landmark in the team’s customer programme with the international debut of the Ford Fiesta R5 Evo2. The latest evolution of M-Sport’s most-successful global rally car includes an engine upgrade with redesigns to the cylinder head and exhaust manifold. Producing additional horsepower, the Fiesta R5 Evo2 will be entrusted to Éric Camilli, Teemu Suninen, Pierre-Louis Loubet, Gus Greensmith and Pedro Heller as they do battle in the highly- competitive WRC 2 category. Popularity and passion are two words that best describe the Vodafone Rally de Portugal. As the first gravel event on European soil, the Portuguese fixture has become a firm favourite amongst competitors and fans alike – the huge number of spectators mirrored in the impressive entry which the rally receives year after year. Based in the coastal town of Porto, the crews will tackle 349.17 competitive kilometres across nineteen special stages.
