  *I've put Sweden in as a bonus event..mainly because I completely forgot about it ;D Sit back and enjoy. Don't forget to get into it...it really adds another dimension to it. If you retired tell us what happened. Did you hit a rock, brake the suspension..heck blame the co-driver. Seems silly first but once you get over that you will have a blast. |

Welcome to the first round of the FRC; Monte Carlo  *The specialty will already be taken into account. ex. Skoda's is tarmac so time is 23.09 not 23.10 Congratulations to Wayno for his win in Monte Carlo!  Unfortunately Mitch wasn't even able to make it through the 1st stage as he spun on some ice ending up hitting a cliff face. Not the best start for Mitch and I am sure Team Subaru will be having a word with him behind closed doors.  |

Overall we(Skoda) were very happy with our podium place. We know we aren't going to be as competitive on the gravel rallies so it is very important for us to score good points on the tarmac rallies. Right now we are looking foward to Sweden.  |

 A photographer caught the Fabia doing some last minute testing in Sweden. Skoda team boss didn't deny that they were testing some new equipment, "Our sister company Audi has given us a new aerodynamic package. Also the Fabia has a brand new turbo which we hope will make us very competitive in Sweden." Team boss also told us that Red Bull would be sponsoring the Fabia for the Swedish Rally.  |

Subaru and I had a word with each other after Monte Carlo. Boss said it is okay to crash on my first ever event and only being a rookie.

Snowy Sweden next!  Congratulations to Tumbo for an amazing win with 3 stage wins!!  Spacedeck's rally came to an end when he rolled on the last stage. The unusual lack of snow caused Spacedeck to make the wrong tyre choice.   |

We would like to thank our sponser WizjaTV whose extra funding provided us with enough testing opportunity to set our car up perfectly for the snow. We hope that Spacedeck is ok

Skoda has again provided us with a great car. Our consistency in making podium places is great. I am hopeful for a win soon though. Also many thanks to michelin and Red Bull for their help in our 2nd place.  |

 The FIA and RFC are pleased to announce a new change to the RFC for the 2nd Season. Manufacturers will now take place in the championship joining the privateers. Each team is limited to 2 drivers and points will be awarded to both the drivers and manufacturers. It is hopeful that this will bring a more competative edge to the championship and provide the drivers with a more stable drive. So far Subaru, Skoda, and Ford have announced their plans to join next year. The RFC is still hoping that more manufacturers plan to join. |

The PST has agreed to terms with Citroen for the 2006 season. We will take over the running of the factory PSA team in a move that sees Citroen remain a factory force with full manufacture backing. With our no. 1 driver confirmed we are on the market for a good second driver so that we can continue our challenge for the Manufacturer's crown. Thanks to Tumbo for his dominant win in Sweden which has allowed this to develop

Testing has come early thanks to today's announcement:  PST will from next yr be named FCT (Factory Citroen Team). We are proud that PSA Citroen have chosen us to continue their flying tradition. OUr sponsers are very pleased as is our lead driver who feels that the move to a newer car with michellin tyres will help his campaign. Discussions are underway with PSA and the FIA. we hope to introduce our new car in France this yr for the remaining 4 events. |
