Škoda Weekly 33/2026
The 5
th
edition of the Ošatník charitable initiative kicked o at the
Olympia Mladá Boleslav Shopping center. The project is jointly
organized by the City of Mladá Boleslav, Škoda Auto, and the KOVO
Trade Union. The goal of the project is to provide school backpacks
and supplies to children from socially disadvantaged families. Interest
in the initiative grows every year – while people donated about
80 backpacks in 2022, last year the number exceeded 250. If you’d
like to get involved and help make the start of the school year easier for
disadvantaged children, you can do so until Monday, September 7.
In recent months, we’ve
introduced a number of
new features on the
Škoda Space portal
to make searching
easier and your daily
work more enjoyable
– from fast results and
concise AI responses
to the new ŠkoPilot
assistant. Let us know
what you think. Fill out
the survey here. Thank
you – your feedback is
key to our continued
development.

The Paraguay Rally proved to be challenging
for Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 crews. The best
result was achieved by Australian Taylor Gill
and his co-driver Daniel Brkic from the
Toksport WRT team. They delivered
a awless performance and secured an
excellent fourth place. In contrast, bad luck
struck the championship’s current leaders,
Robert Virves and Jakk Viil, who lost nearly
an hour after crashing into the brush.
However, they maintained their lead in
the World Championship. Diego Domínguez
in a Toyota took the overall victory in
the WRC2 category. The next round of the
championship will be the Rally Chile, which
will take place in mid-September.
Sign up for the Škoda Economy Run 2026 and put
your skills to the test. The 44
th
edition of this popular
motoring event will take place on Saturday, September
19, starting and nishing at the Škoda Service Center
in Kosmonosy. The crews will face a route approximately
330 kilometers long, with the goal of achieving the lowest
possible fuel consumption while adhering to the set route,
time limit, and average speed. Crews with Škoda cars from
the 2003 model year can enter the race.
