Wilks puts his Skoda to the test

Guy Wilks and co-driver Phil Pugh started preparations for the Rally of Scotland yesterday, successfully completing a full day testing session in their Skoda Fabia S2000.

In often difficult and very wet conditions, Wilks put the Skoda Fabia through its paces in what was his first time in the car.

He said:  “Despite some pretty treacherous weather, we were pleased with how the testing has gone.  It was great to finally get behind the wheel, spend time in the car and put some mileage under our belt.  The car handled well in the slippery conditions and the car feels very good.  I can't wait to line up on the start line on Thursday now.”

Wilks will spend today (Tuesday) and Wednesday as further preparation, using the next two days as a recce for the Rally of Scotland before starting the event on Thursday afternoon.
