The all-new Skoda Fabia Super 2000 has been through two different test sessions recently: the first was held in the Czech Republic's Nova Paka region last February 22nd with Austrian driver Raimund Baumschlager, while the second concluded in the Lausitz area of Germany, this time with Sebastian Lindholm at the controls.

Lindholm, one of the most experienced rally test drivers around, is often in demand when it comes to putting new models through their paces. The Finn has been involved with many constructors in the past, as was the case last year when he worked on developing the new Suzuki SX4 currently enlisted in the World Rally Championship.

The Skoda Fabia Super 2000 is scheduled to make its debut competition run this summer during Rally Bohemia, a home race for the Czech manufacturer. Starting next autumn, Skoda Auto is also planning to offer its new model to private teams.
