Since the iteration of the new R5 version, the model has gone on to take nine titles in support categories to the FIA World Rally Championship, numerous regional and national championships, nearly 1,400 overall and class victories as well as close to 3,300 podium positions worldwide. ŠKODA Motorsport has already sold more than 400 units of the R5, Rally2, and Rally2 Evo variants.

According to the Rally2 regulations of the FIA, the next generation Rally2 version of the ŠKODA Fabia is again powered by a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine connected to a five-speed sequential gearbox and four-wheel drive with mechanical differentials.
