Skoda Rally Blog

It’s funny. On the way home from WRGB, I was thinking “if the car had only had 50 more horsepower, it would have really been something”, and then of course I came back to reality as I remembered the homologation runs out on the 31st December 2006. However, the Felicia was made until well into 2000, so it would be possible for it to be extended, but I was unsure if Skoda would do such a thing (or indeed what the process/cost of this was).

Anyway, today I mailed Skoda to ask them if it would happen, reminding them that I had (as James Johns pointed out) given them a 21st class win on Wales Rally GB. While at a loose end at work, I checked the FIA’s homologation list, only to find that….

… yes, you guessed it. The Felicia’s homologation doesn’t expire until 2008.

Guess what I’m planning now? Never say never!
