Skoda closes on full ERC title bid

Skoda has edged closer to committing to a fully-fledged European Rally Championship title bid by entering Jan Kopecky to take on Robert Kubica in the Azores Rally. Kopecky leads the ERC standings after winning two of the three rallies held so far, but Skoda has held back from launching a full programme in the revitalised series, only confirming its plans on a round-by-round basis.
