The team were supposed to be unveiling their cars at Brno this weekend. They probably won't actually race until Donnyton next month or maybe even Spa in July.

Skoda @ Brno
ETCC 25/05/03 Today in Brno, the Autospektrum Racing Team presented their programme to run two Ĺ*koda Superb cars in the FIA European Touring Car Championship. “Actually a decision on when we will join the Championship has yet to be taken, but we are aiming to take part in some meetings of the current season,” team manager Otakar Zenkl said, adding. “The programme has been delayed because of financial and technical reasons, but now we should be able to proceed as it was planned. We are focusing on building the first car, with which we’ll start testing as soon as possible.” The drivers who were signed for the programme are 22-year old Petr Kolár and 27-year old Ondrej Navrátil, both from Czech Republic, who achieved very good results in the national championships, but never raced abroad: “We are very much looking forward to when the car will be ready to run. Racing in the ETCC it will be a great challenge for us and a big step forward in our careers,” declared Kolár. Before their involvement in this programme, the Autospektrum Racing Team has worked since ten years in close cooperation with Ĺ*koda Motorsport, building more than one hundred racing cars and also providing technical assistance. “It is important to point out that this ETCC programme is privately funded and that the cars is being entirely built and developed by us. The plan set up by our sponsors is on a three year basis,” Zenkl revealed. In the picture, from the left: Kolár and Navrátil with the Ĺ*koda Superb.

Hmmmm, it seems the cars are indeed on very shaky ground! We may or may not seem them race. They may race for just a few meetings. Of course, as a touring car fan, I hope they will get to see the track and that Skoda will come on board!

Also private funding is not what I was hoping to hear. |
