Skoda Motorsport enhanced further the Fabia RS Rally2 by introducing the package "Packet 25".
The engine-related components of ‘Packet 25’ are designed to improve the thermodynamic characteristics of the Fabia RS Rally2’s powertrain. Enhancements to the exhaust system optimise the flow of exhaust gases, improving mixture preparation and combustion. A newly optimised exhaust manifold lowers the energy required for in-cylinder gas exchange by 27%. Other modifications to the exhaust system reduce weight, and when combined with new engine management software, they contribute to a significant increase in power delivered to the wheels, as well as a more pronounced engine note.
One of the key highlights of ‘Packet 25’ is the newly developed gravel dampers, designed to withstand higher loads and improve durability on demanding gravel stages. These modifications include changes to the damper reservoir and several internal components, including seals, while maintaining the original damper weight. Enhanced rear upright protection extends the lifespan of the driveshaft boots, brake callipers, and brake cooling hoses. Additionally, newly developed suspension uniball seals significantly extend the running time of the uniballs, reducing overall running costs for customers.
The most significant comfort innovation is a redesigned roof vent, which improves airflow into the cabin while optimising filtration and preventing water from entering the cockpit. Additionally, new racing seats, approximately 2 kg lighter per unit, help lower the car’s centre of gravity.
