Juho and Mikko to appear at Ypres Rally in Belgium



After the successful premiere at the Monte Carlo Rally in January and the second-place finish at the Azores Rally in May, the Mladá Boleslav-based team Škoda Motorsport has announced that it will appear at the next IRC event, the Ypres Rally in Belgium (18 - 20 June). The highly competitive start list promises a top-class rally where every second may decidethe outcom.

Commenting upon its team's upcoming appearance at the YpresRally, Head of Škoda Motorsport Michal Hrabánek says.

- Initially, we were planning to appear again after the Azores rally as late as at the rally in Russia, but we changed our mind - because the rally in Belgium is one of the most important events in the IRC calendar, with many top-class drivers on the start line and an excellent setting. Another reason is, that our Motorsport project involves competition sand, equally importantly, a Fabia Super 2000 customer sales programme. So we have decided to compete in Belgium, with the future prospects of our project in mind.

- One of the key drivers behind this decision was the excellent co-operation we have with our Škoda importer in Belgium, who is supporting the appearance of Francois Duval, a Belgian star driving a FabiaSuper 2000 for René Georges' team. Last but not least, the event is going to beanother premiere for the Fabia Super 2000, as this will be the vehicle's first exclusively tarmac competition.

- Launched in the first half of this year, Škoda Motosport's customer programme seems to be equally positive as the results of the factoryteam, adds Hrabánek.
