Hi, friends!

Škoda Motorsport team had a season end celebration with presenting of their new head quarters and a program for a season 2019.

And on that program there's no super quick Swede Pontus Tidemand. There's around an interview with Pontus as his farewell to Škoda where he didn't reveal his plans for the new season. He only thanked Škoda for all their efforts in their very successful collaboration last two seasons when Tidemand won WRC2 crown in 2017.

Škoda will keep on track with their two current drivers - Jan Kopecky and Kalle Rovanpera - the experience and youth.

Kopecky won WRC2 class crown this season and Kalle now has the big chance to show all his talent to the works teams which is best way for him to progress into the top WRC class.

I am not worried about Kalle because his manager is Timo Joukhi who's known for buying seats to future 'promise' drivers.

What will be about everything, it's hard to predict.

All we know that Škoda will homologate a new version of their top rally car Fabia R5 at the 2nd part of 2019 season.

Time goes on and we can not do anything to stop it...

Thanks for photos and video to WRC.com and private Youtube channel.

Enjoy some beer!

Cheers!
