Mladá Boleslav, 18 December 2024 – With 13 teams and 16 drivers registered, Škoda Motorsport’s customer team bonus programme, launched in January 2024, proved highly successful in its first season. For 2025, the programme offers even greater incentives. Registered teams competing with any variant of the Škoda Fabia Rally2 in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) will be eligible for €40,000 in prize vouchers per event, as well as discounts totalling €90,000 on the purchase of a new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 at the end of the season. Teams must register by 28 February 2025.
Building on the success of its inaugural season, Škoda Motorsport will continue the bonus programme in 2025 with significantly higher rewards for both individual events and the overall championship standings. In the upcoming season, not only will the ERC champion benefit, but teams whose crews secure second or third place overall will also receive substantial discounts on the purchase of a new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2.
Michal Hrabánek, Head of Škoda Motorsport, said: “We are delighted with the positive feedback we received from the first season of our incentive programme. We were able to help our loyal customers and strengthen the Škoda brand’s leading position among Rally2 car manufacturers. For the second year, we anticipate strong interest from teams and intense competition throughout the season.”
In the 2025 FIA European Rally Championship, event rewards for crews or registered teams competing with a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, Škoda Fabia Rally2 evo, or Škoda Fabia Rally2 will increase to €20,000, €12,000, and €8,000 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes, respectively. These vouchers, totalling €40,000 per event, can be redeemed for spare parts directly from Škoda Motorsport.
At the conclusion of the 2025 ERC season, Škoda Motorsport will award a further €90,000 in vouchers for overall championship standings. Teams with registered drivers who win the ERC title will receive a €50,000 discount on the purchase of a new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2. The second-placed team will be rewarded with a €25,000 voucher, while the team of the third-placed driver will receive a €15,000 voucher towards the purchase of a new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2.
The bonus programme is open to all teams competing with any variant of the Škoda Fabia Rally2, provided they register for the programme. Full regulations and application forms are available on the Škoda Motorsport website. Completed applications must be submitted by 28 February 2025 via email to bonus.program.erc@skoda-auto.cz.
In addition to rewarding the most successful Škoda drivers, Škoda Motorsport will continue to support all customer teams at selected FIA European Rally Championship and FIA World Rally Championship events with its dedicated spare parts truck. This on-site service enables teams to access essential spare parts directly within the service zone, significantly improving parts availability and increasing the chances of completing rallies for all Škoda drivers.
