I still supported Skoda though cos they’re the underdogs… and Colin McRae running 3rd in Rally Australia 2005 before he retired on the 3rd day was probably the most exciting thing about Skoda back then.

However since they switched to IRC they really put in a lot of effort and changes were made to the management and the crew and it’s a relief to see that they succeeded in making it a really competitive team. Something that Proton should learn from.

However, before you dare challenge your car at international level, be prepared with every aspect. One thing, if Proton really represent Malaysia people, lets the driver is Malaysian as well. Engine?? are they using upgrade proton engine or other engine manufacturer…..

Driving a Peugeot now… Handling wise, cannot compare! You need to drive one to know… Go test drive a Peugeot today, and then you decide what I say here is right or wrong!!

They tailor towards the laws of the country.

Just because they have no airbags here doesn’t mean that they don’t overseas.

Not defending them but it’s not because they don’t have airbags in cars here that they’re not doing well on a global level. As a strategic department expert, you’d know that.

Part of strategic development lies in brand recognition. These rallies will help that. They obviously have to do better but it’s a step in the right direction.

Despite Peugeot’s win it is obvious that the tyre lottery played a big part in Monte. Solberg as well as Skoda’s decision to follow his choice of inter tyres pretty much undid their own efforts. However, what really impressed me is Skoda’s zero technical problem for all four of its leading drives (Hanninen, Kopecky, Loix and Vouilloz), in addition to their great performances just show how Skoda has really matured in terms of their technical expertise over the years.
