In addition to the technicians and other motorsport specialists, the factory crews have contributed decisively to ŠKODA's success with the Fabia Super 2000. The Finnish crew of Juho Hänninen and Mikko Markkula added to their numerous victories at different rallies, notably, the SWRC world championship title in 2011 and the IRC drivers' championship title in 2010. The Czech crew of Jan Kopecký and Pavel Dresler was formed at the end of the 2011 season. With his previous co-driver Petr Starý, Jan Kopecký took the final 2nd place in the IRC series in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
