Eerste test door Didier Auriol:
Didier Auriol has been putting Skoda's new Fabia World Rally Car through its paces for the first time, and already the Frenchman has a good feeling with the car.
Auriol got behind the wheel of the Fabia on Tuesday on gravel roads near Chateau Lastours in the south of France. The test is scheduled to finish today (Friday) with Auriol concentrating mainly on durability and reliability rather than out and out speed.
"It is not bad," he said after completing his third day of testing. "The Fabia reacts quickly and well. We've had a very good day. I tested for more than 150 kilometres today, including two endurance tests of 60 kilometres where I did not encounter any problem.
"For the moment we're not working on performance, we are working on the reliability," he continued. "We had some small problems on Tuesday, but the new parts which we received on Wednesday gave us satisfaction. This evening everyone is content with work we carried out."
