Škoda to present Goodwood FOS Rally Stage

Helping celebrate their 110th anniversary this year, Škoda will be the official partner of the Goodwood Festival of Speed Forest Rally Stage, June 30th to July 3rd. Its the first time Škoda have sponsored the increasingly-popular Goodwood Forest rally stage, and the manufacturer will have a huge presence at the Festival of Speed, including driver Andreas Mikkelsen in the 2011 Fabia S2000, some historically significant rally cars on display and the officials will be using 4x4 Yeti and Superb Estate Škoda to get about. Škoda will also be running some rare old cars up the hill climb at the Festival of Speed (this year, titled, 'Racing Revolutions – Quantum leaps that shaped motorsport'), including its 1959 1100 OHC Spider, which has only been seen static in recent years. Lord March said: “I am delighted to welcome Škoda as our Forest Rally Stage partner. Škoda has a long and proud heritage in motorsport, with particular success in rallying, so it is highly appropriate that the marque has chosen to become involved with the word’s largest celebration of rallying and motor racing at Goodwood.” Yay Škoda!
