Skoda will decide on the future of the Fabia S2000 rally project within the next two months, according to Motorsport News.
The Czech firm returned to top-level rallying at the start of 2009 for a limited IRC programme with the factory Fabias competing to help boost sales of the S2000 to privateer teams, though Skoda bosses have not decided whether to commit to the IRC in 2010.
They will most likely hold off on a decision until after the next FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in June, to see what the mooted regulation changes are for the world championship.
Skoda Motorsport boss Michal Hrabánek explained to MN:
At this moment we do not have a programme for future years. It is open. We will decide in the next month.
At this moment the WRC is not attractive because our experience from the last time is not positive - we invested much money but the gain is very limited.
