Good result 6th & 7th with Jan Kopecky recording two quickest stages times on Saturday

The Fabia is a very fast tarmac car when set up correctly. Possibly the 2nd fastest car in Germany behind the Xsara, Ford scored 3 stage wins but Skoda's could well have been more had Duval not crashed on day one.

Yeah i noticed that!!! Kopecky seems to be on form on tarmac, lets see how he does over finland! (i have not been keeping up with finland so far) Also hopefully Duval will do better in finland.

Kopecky has only driven Finland once before and it is a very specialist rally, but he still finished in 8th place today and scored another point.

Duval not doing Finland, money problems :(

As ever Finns are the best drivers though. Go Suomi

True, Timo, just a pity the Finns we had last year weren't too great :(
