Škoda Motorsport will continue its enhanced support for drivers competing in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) throughout the 2026 season. For the third consecutive year, drivers and teams competing with Škoda Fabia Rally2 cars can benefit from a generous bonus programme. Selected events will also once again feature the Škoda Motorsport spare parts truck.
Until 2 March 2026, teams and drivers competing in the FIA European Rally Championship with Škoda cars can register for this year’s Škoda Motorsport bonus programme. Organised by the manufacturer’s motorsport department for the third year running, the programme offers registered participants significant rewards for strong competition results.
At each of the eight ERC rounds in 2026, spare parts vouchers with a total value of €40,000 will be available. The winning team receives a voucher worth €20,000, second place is rewarded with €12,000, and third place earns a voucher valued at €8,000.
In addition, Škoda Motorsport is offering extra season-long incentives to teams competing with the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2. As in previous years, the ERC champion's team may receive a €50,000 discount on a new car, the runner-up a €25,000 discount, and third place a €15,000 discount. In all cases, availability of a new car for the following season is guaranteed.
Last season, ERC teams made extensive use of these generous rewards. “Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 crews won four of the eight ERC rounds last year, making our brand the most successful in the championship,” recalls Michal Hrabánek, Head of Škoda Motorsport, adding: “The Škoda Motorsport bonus programme perfectly underlines our strong commitment to our customers, who are at the centre of everything we do.”
While 16 drivers from 13 teams registered for the bonus programme in the 2024 season, this number rose to 21 drivers from 17 teams last year. The biggest reward in 2025 went to ERC champion Miko Marczyk and his Topp-Cars Rally Team, who benefited from a €50,000 discount on a new car. A €15,000 discount was awarded to Racing Factory, represented in the championship by third-placed Andrea Mabellini.
Beyond financial incentives, Škoda Motorsport will once again support teams at selected rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship and FIA World Rally Championship with its spare parts truck. “The idea of having a truck fully stocked with spare parts directly in the service park of selected rallies is a major support for our customer teams,” says Radek Těšínský, who is responsible for the logistics of this support programme.
