Skoda will be bringing a couple of concept cars, some rally legends and a few RS performance machines to Goodwood for this year's Festival of Speed.
The Skoda Pavilion promises to be fully interactive, as you can ride a Skoda bicycle up the Skoda Summit, try a virtual Tour de France-style stage, enjoy displays by a cycle stunt team or drive a remote control Fabia S2000 rally car. However, on to more pertinent attractions, and the Yeti Xtreme and VisionC concept cars will be appearing for the first time in the UK. The former is a rally-themed crossover with a 160hp 1.8-litre TSI engine, brakes from an Octavia RS, 17-inch alloys and off-road rally tyres, plus an interior with four individual Recaro race seats and four-point harnesses. The VisionC previews a possible Volkswagen CC rival from the Czechs, being a five-door coupé with a natural gas drive system.
All a bit tame? Then buckle up for the Forest Rally Stage. British rally star Neil Simpson will helm a Fabia S2000 - the most successful rally car of the Super 2000 era - through the 1.7-mile (2.7-kilometre) stage and you can jump in as passenger. Or check out the 365km/h Octavia RS Bonneville that'll be on display - alongside a version of the 220hp road-going machine.
Anything else?
The Festival of Speed runs from June 26-29 at Goodwood in the UK.
