Other drivers to have tasted success in the Fabia include Esapekka Lappi, Pontus Tidemand and Jan Kopecky.Skoda Motorsport team manager Pavel Hortek confirmed the move during the brand's traditional end-of-season event in Prague. "Of course, because we have no one to replace him. Oliver Solberg could be an option for someone to support, but not in a factory team," Hortek told Motorsport.com "We have sold 328 cars and we have many customers, we don't have the capacity to maintain all that and also an official team. Having lost great drivers has been key." Only Ford and Hyundai are potential factory entrants in the class next year, which will be known simply as WRC2.
