Skoda Rally Blog

More things have arrived! First up, the diff! The diff! Yes, the holy grail of rally components. To me, anyway. The Limited Slip Diff that should give us a lot more traction just about everywhere (so everyone tells me) has arrived. ?400, second-hand, as opposed to over ?800 new, if you can get one. This, of course, means that I have to dismantle the gearbox I’ve just got for the car, and fit the diff to it. Which will happen tomorrow, shortly followed by me putting the ‘box into the car, and then everything else back together.

Secondly, I have stickers! All the stuff I need for the car (big name in the rear window, just like the WRC. Oh, hang on, this is the WRC!) is here, as well as some replacement Skoda stickers for the side and bonnet, etc. Excellent.

Thirdly, Fire have been on the phone, and they want to interview us, and possibly get some reports during the event as well!

Fourthly, we may have a sponsor. No details at the moment as I don’t want to jinx anything, but we could have a sponsor for WRGB which would be excellent.

However, today I’m very short of time so I’m off!
