October 17th 2005 Mexico will be the first test for the drivers on gravel. Can Skoda continue their consistancy and maybe even pull of a win? Both Tumbo and Wayno are close behind, so its going to be a good fight!

Skoda have been talking to Mexcio veteran Dani Sola for advice on set up for rally Mexcio. Lets hope he was right ;D So far testing has gone well though we are still sliding a little too much.

We are expecting a good showing in Mexico and after our unexpected win first up would like to consolidate our season so far. The car had the pace in Sweden, but coming from Australia we were losing about a second a kilometer due to uncontrollable teeth chattering!

6th gear accident during testing on italian dirt roads in preparation for Mexico. Thankfully we were testing the setup of our Citroen for next yr and the Subaru remains undamaged in the truck. No injuries thankfully but the car is a write off. Worried that this might be a sign of things to come

Productive test session over the last few days for our team. Were experiencing massive problems with front suspension chattering over corrugations to start with. Have changed dampers and rates and are expecting a very quick car that is kind on its tyres for Mexico. Had a small transmission problem on our second morning being unable to select the two top gears. Changed the unit and are hoping for no more problems.

I hope our time isn't a sign of things to come. I was quite suprised by the Ford's pace on shakedown.

We are very happy with our shake-down time as we were not pushing overly hard. The car felt good and recent testing has helped a lot. Suspension changes made have worked very well. We feel we should have very good pace oveer the course of the event.
