I was hopefully going to say a Skoda driver has won the European Rallycross Championship. Unfortunately because of dropped scores Micheal Jernberg came second in the championship. Sverre Isachsen in a Focus won it with Mr Hanson 3rd. I think Jernberg has been leading the series up until this last round.

I know its not rallying, but I did not want to start a new thread with this disappointing news.

Congratulations to Kopecky anyway.
