For anyone that missed it on TV, here's some Skoda bits from Rally Monte Carlo, including action from the Superspecial stage on the grand prix cicuit:

Some good footage.

From the look of the footage, I guess the Fabia WRC's must be 2.0l 8v's

Great footage!

That seems to slow to be the 2.0l 8v!!!

Does anybody know what the music was during the footage?

Christ, you can certainly see the difference! them C4's are well quicker than the aging Fab.

DJ Tiesto - Adago for Strings is the song - see here YouTube - DJ Tiesto-Adagio For Strings :thumbup: :thumbup:

There's a part 3, but it's all subaru & Citreons

Christ, you can certainly see the difference! them C4's are well quicker than the aging Fab.

Do you really think so? The truth is the C4 is quicker than the Fabia, but I don't think you can really see such a difference on that video. The Fabia is still a quick tarmac car and set several fastest stage times on tarmac last year.

Remember the C4 is being driven by Loeb, who won the last 3 WRC titles and also Monte Carlo many times.

Yep I do...but as you say, it is being driven by Loeb. so it's hard to compare, but the car looks a lot better/stiffer round the bends (maybe due to suspension settings - but they shouldnt be that much different!) and seems to pick up out of bends quicker (which doesn't matter who's behind the wheel).

Wonder if Skoda will bother with the new Fab as a Rally car?

They are, but as an S2000 car rather than a WRC.

Cool! Will these S2000 be anything like the old 2litre KIT cars? they were mega! I absolutely adhored them.. You couldn't beat a Renault Megane on full song round the forest or even tare-ar$ing around the tricky Isle of Man roads....mmmmmm heaven! - Although I think I remember them being mentioned on another forum and they're gunna be like the current production cars but without the turbo...or have i read wrong?

This is a good video..

Stohl spins into a wall and then nearly wipes out a telegraph pole!

The S2000 cars are more like the Kit Cars you mention, but with the addition of a control 4wd transmission system.

I used to love the Kit Cars too, and I like S2000 cars too, although their revs are capped at 8500rpm unlike Kit Cars'.

You can see a good video of the Fiat Punto S2000 here which should give you an idea of what S2000 cars are all about: YouTube - Rally Champion - Fiat Grande Punto Super 2000
