Collin Mcrae....in a skoda? (WRC)

[Red coupe]

Yup he is back and this time he is in a skoda. It should be interesting to see what the car can do in his hands, and what he can do in the car...I have to admit Its good to see him back, but disappointing to see him with the last place manufacturerThis season saw Tony Gardermester(sp?) go from fighting for 8th to fighting for podium with his move from skoda to ford. Will the obvious lack of competitiveness shown by the Fabia rub off on the Scott? Based on his performance prior to his leave of absence from the WRC does he have what it takes to be competitive anyways? Predictions on placing in his first event back, Rally Great Brittan?other WRC comments?

Yep, saw this the other day on the WRC Germany coverage.

Isn't Nick "the announcer" going to co-pilot for him or something?

[Red coupe]

yeah he is gonna be doing douible duty wich should be interesting....Hopefully he will have more to say about the conditions and the compitition being part of it himself....what you wanna bet that Collin will win a start of the rally award from Nicky at the end...

[nismofly]

he used to be a co-driver until a few years ago...in fact i think he was colin's co-driver

so does this mean skoda will be running the full schedule next season? theyve been a part time team so far

[Red coupe]

yes he was Collins co-driver before as well. He says he expects very little, as those who have been at every rally have been struggling to match loebs pace. With his two year brake Collin says he is just looking to get back in the seat of a rally carare you sure skoda is running a limited schedule? I was aware that they have a choppy driver line up to say the least, and that no one driver is running a full season, but I didn't think they had skipped any.
