Aleš Rada and Andreas Mikkelsen talk about the test days at Fontjoncouse with the new generation ŠKODA FABIA Rally2.
The technical regulations of the Rally2 category provide clear guidelines in various areas of the technical development. For example, the aerodynamics of the new generation ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 widely depend on the road car’s configuration. The best-in-class drag coefficient of the production ŠKODA FABIA gave the engineers of ŠKODA Motorsport the perfect foundation to develop highly efficient aerodynamics for the future rally car.Efficient aerodynamics are one of the most important areas while developing any kind of race car. In Rally2 category, competition variants have to be derived from production models. Thus, engineers face completely different challenges than, for example, their colleagues in single seater racing. When ŠKODA Motorsport began the development of the new generation ŠKODA FABIA Rally2, the respective road car model provided a perfect starting point. The engineers‘ goal was to use the outstanding aerodynamics of the road going ŠKODA FABIA as well for the competition car.
This video captures the latest development test of the new generation ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 with WRC regulars Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR), Kris Meeke (GBR) and Emil Lindholm (FIN) behind the wheel.
The video shows first impressions of the all-new Rally2 version of the ŠKODA FABIA during testing. The development car is scheduled to undergo further testing on gravel and tarmac stages in the coming months.
In its effort to realise a collision-free society based on its global safety slogan, “Safety for Everyone,” Honda has long been at the forefront of the research and development of safety technologies. The introduction of Legend equipped with the Honda SENSING Elite represents the next step forward in the area of advanced safety technology.
