VW/Skoda WRC Testing

[Sulland]

Do they have a Fabia with a 1600T engine ready yet thet will be the test-mule ?

If not, when can we expect they will have ?

1.6T engine has been tested in the car since October 2010.

The CZ fans were perfect in posting testsessions on here during the development of the S2000 car, hopes the same will happen here !

Thinking back to the development of The S2000 Fabia, and the number of posts both here and on youtube of that car, it is a bit surprising that nothing has come out on the 1600T testing.
Has the Skoda publicity policy changed for this time around, or is the testing still only done on dynos, and that is why nothing is out yet ?

[Mirek]

It was tested in car but I don't know about any videos or photos. They keep it quite secret.

Don't you guys have a rallymafia? Put them to work out the secrets !!

I get the feeling the VW tests will be less public than the Prodrive Mini ones, and wont be on youtube from early development.

I reckon you're right - it's not really the VW, even Audi way.

If a country ha a rally mafia, it has to be the Czech Republic ! Just look back to this one: http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/showthread.php?124595-Skoda-begin-testing-Fabia-S2000
They will do the job I guess, as long as the testing will take place in their AOR ! ;)
