Huh, but what happened to European Rally Championship, in which Škoda dominated for so long?

I don’t have a clue, but I do have some possible...
Thierry Neuville won’t be happy when he hears this, for his calls for “more power” were usually answered by “hey, how about a new car, which is better in every way”. Joking here, but maybe it would not make that much of a difference whether the new i20 WRC debuted this year or not. This...
