Thought it might be of interest to forum members to hear about our success in teh Team Skoda carsales Octavia RS-P wagon at the 2010 Targa Tasmania tarmac rally...

You can read all about the car and the event at our minisite www.carsales.com.au/targatasmania or see our in-car videos at both carsales.tv and Skoda australia's youtube site.

The Octavia we rallied is largely stock and was the second front-wheel drive car home after five days of rallying. In the modern category the only two-wheel drives that beat the RS-P were two GT3 Porsches, a Corvette Z)6 and an Aussie built Skelta special.

During the event the DSG-equipped RS-P was 100% mechanically reliable

Not a bad result for an automatic (sic) family wagon!!!

been watching some of the videos on skoda oz's youtube website. The RS-P is what made me get mine in candy white!

thanks for the heads up :yes:
