Education on the Fabia VRS launch - lesson one, driving

Sometimes at car launches, the company wants to show the product off to the best of its ability and takes a racing driver along to show what he and the car can do.

Skoda did this to a degree today at the Fabia VRS launch at the Prodrive circuit in Warwickshire, taking along something that vaguely resembled the impressive new hot supermini we were there to try.
