Skoda Still Outperforming in Rally Car Championships

Skoda was once again triumphant in the recent Vodafone Rally De Portugal with two crews stepping up to the WRC2 podium in the fourth round and even though he missed the FIA World Rally Championship’s fourth round, Andreas Mikkelsen  of ŠKODA Motorsport  still leads WRC2 overall.


The Rally De Portugal is one of the oldest and most popular rounds of the WRC and was held over four days between 20 and 23 May 2021 marking the fifty-fourth running of the Rally de Portugal. 

With fast and technical gravel roads initially leading inland from Porto in the North, the tracks  can become rocky and rutted for the second pass. The rugged Portuguese terrain throws up an abundance of tricky corners hidden by high crests while temperatures can soar to 35 degrees in Portugal’s early summer.......all adding to the challenge of managing the stress on the car.

As the Skoda brand climbs in popularity across Europe and remains  the "road" car of choice for many motorists, it is no small achievement that the brand can also perform at the other end of the motoring spectrum, that being the tough high-tech world of world rally car racing.

Whilst we don't expect any of our customers to test their oversteer capabilities on Winwick Road it's reassuring to know that the car they drive is underpinned by some of the best motor engineering in the world.

Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington is a trading style of Clare James Automotive limited which is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Clare James Automotive Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms, and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
