Škoda Auto is building a Czech rally team 
2/1/2010
Škoda Auto continues its successful project Fabia Super 2000 by building a team for Czech rally Championship. The official partner of the team is Delimax, a major Czech-based food manufacturer.


The company's Fabia Super 2000 for the International Championships of the Czech Republic will be used by a prospective crew made up of Pavel Valoušek and Zdeněk Hrůza.

Commenting on this initiative, Head of the Škoda Motorsport team Michal Hrabánek says: “Since the very start, the entire Fabia Super 2000 project has been focusing on two key sides – rallying and sales to customers. The objective on the sports side is to use the Fabia Super 2000 at both international and national levels in selected countries. After achieving very good results in 2009 and involving Škoda importers in order to get their support in countries like the UK, Italy, France, Sweden, etc., this is another logical step that is in line with our strategy – taking the Fabia Super 2000 project to the domestic market. We are pleased that we could help to find an opportunity to present the Fabia Super 2000 to Czech fans.”

Delimax, a.s. has been providing Pavel and Zdeněk with long-standing support and wishes to continue last year's success story. We therefore wanted to create adequate conditions so that the drivers can efficiently promote our brands (Jan Varmuža and St. Johann) and have good chances of succeeding on the rally side, too. That, however, is no more possible without a top-class vehicle like the Škoda Fabia Super 2000 these days,” says Delimax General Manager Jan Vrba.
