After a successful first season, Škoda Motorsport will continue to provide extended support to teams competing in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) with Fabia Rally2 cars in 2025. Registered teams can receive higher rewards for podium finishes and a Škoda Motorsport truck with a range of spare parts will be available at selected events.
For the 2025 season, Škoda Motorsport is enhancing its bonus programme for teams competing in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) with its Rally2 category specials. After a successful first season, it is increasing the rewards it has prepared for registered teams. In each of the 2025 ERC events, teams starting with Škoda Fabia Rally2 specials will thus be able to compete for prizes totalling up to €40,000.
Pokud tým s vozem Škoda podnik ERC vyhraje, získá od Škoda Motorsport voucher na náhradní díly v hodnotě €20,000. Za druhé místo uděluje Škoda Motorsport voucher na €12,000 a za třetí pak €8.000.
In addition, the use of vouchers will be even easier. At selected events of the ERC (and the WRC), a special truck with Škoda Motorsport spare parts will be available. Of course, it will serve all teams with Škoda cars. The teams will receive the parts directly in the service zone. Such a service improves the availability of spare parts and thus increases the chances of teams and drivers to finish the competition and achieve good results.
For the second season of the bonus program, the incentive of a discount on a new competition car for the team whose driver finishes in the top three positions in the championship remains in effect. In the event of winning the overall championship, a team can receive a new car discount of €50,000, second place can bring a discount of €25,000 and third place a voucher for €15,000. At the same time, they get a guarantee of the car's availability for the 2026 season.
Škoda Motorsport will also provide all teams participating in the ERC and WRC championships with Škoda cars at selected events with support in the form of spare parts sales, technical support and expert advice. The sports department of the Mladá Boleslav carmaker will once again send its own truck with spare parts to selected events. The truck will be present in service zones, where teams can directly purchase the necessary parts and do not have to have them in stock themselves.
"We are happy for the positive feedback we received in the first season of our support program. We have helped our loyal customers and strengthened Škoda's leading position in the field of Rally2 specification car manufacturers. In the second season we expect a lot of interest from the teams," Michal Hrabánek, Head of Škoda Motorsport, sums up the importance of the programme.
The bonus programme is open to all Škoda Motorsport customer teams competing in the 2025 ERC championship with one of the Škoda Fabia RS Rally 2, Fabia Rally2 evo or Fabia Rally2 cars. Teams must register for the program. The programme rules and registration forms are available on the Škoda Motorsport website. The application for the program must be sent no later than February 28 to the e-mail address bonus.program.erc@skoda-auto.cz.
