Skoda Motorsport is increasingly likely to field three of its new Fabia S2000's on the 2009 IRC opener Rallye Monte Carlo.

Testing has increased in recent weeks with Gilles Panizzi, Juho Hanninen and Jan Kopecky all taking time behind to wheel of Skoda's new Rally weapon on both Gravel and Tarmac. It is believed that contracts have been offered and confirmation is expected in the coming weeks.
