Video Juho Hanninen and Jan Kopecky Skoda Monte Carlo test December

Another excellent video, uploaded by poypoy38, of the recent Skoda Motorsport Monte Carlo test with new signings Jan Kopecky and Juho Haninen driving.

Skoda Motorsport will debut the Fabia S2000 on the Rallye Monte Carlo as they begin their assault on the 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge.

Hanninen commented about the Fabia S2000's potential and his programme for '09:

I have tested the new Fabia S2000 throughout the Autumn and I believe that it is immediately competitive. The car has good technology components, and it is well balanced.

The first year's programme is still somewhat open. As a rule, we are driving IRC, but we will go to other rallies as well."

The clip of the Skoda Monte test lasts for ten minutes and shows the range of conditions the team faced as they sought to replicate what might be encountered in January.
