Skoda puts its title back on the line

After a successful first year, Skoda put its title back on the line in 2009/2010. Entrusted to the AS Events structure of Dany Snobeck and Jean-Pierre Béchu, the two Skoda Fabias will be in the hands of the crews Jean-Philippe Dayraut / Paul Belmondo and Olivier Panis / Grégoire Demoustier. The latter joins the Skoda team after racing for Toyota.

“I am very happy to join Team Skoda. I am a man of challenges, and the prospect of being part of this super structured team, constant in performance, as it brilliantly proved last winter, gives me new motivation " Panis said.

For his part, Jean-Philippe Dayraut will have the opportunity to put his title back on the line and will give a chance to Alain Prost, winner in 2006/2007 and 2007/2008, to take his revenge. “ Last year, our title crowned fruitful teamwork. We will defend it with the same state of mind, being all united, highly motivated, and driven by a sporting spirit. He said.

For Jean-Marc Prince, the director of Skoda France, the Andros trophy is a competition very atypical " who is " perfectly complementary to the IRC. » The first round will take place in December.
