It was the late 1930s when Skoda inaugurated the Monte Carlo series with a Popular special edition to mark the race car's second-place finish at the 1936 Monte Carlo Rally for vehicles powered by engines up to 1.5 liters. Fast forward to 1977, the iconic 130 RS scored a double victory at the Monte Carlo Rally for the class up to 1.3 liters. The 1990s saw the Favorit and Felicia claiming double wins.
Later on, the company's most victorious race car arrived – the Fabia. It managed a few podium finishes before the Fabia Super 2000 triumphed in in its class at the 2013 Monte Carlo Rally. The subsequent Rally2-spec Fabia R5 was first in the WRC2 category in the same race in 2017 and 2018. The Czech marque also enjoyed motorsport success with the newer Rally2 evo.
