The only disadvantage was two valve technology, so Škoda Motorsport asked the FIA for change in regulations so they could improve their engines.
Škoda Felicia Kit Car was available in three versions - 1,3l (1994–95), 1,5l (1994–96) and 1,6l (1996–97), that produced 108 kW (145 hp) at 7800 rpm (1,3l).
The result was only 3rd place in 1996 World Rally Championship in F2 class, but they were fighting for the title the whole season with Seat.
The unravelling came on the last rally of the season, the RAC, where after big misfortune Škoda lost their chance for victory.
1997 was the last year for Felicia, where in Rally of Finland came the successor, the Octavia Kit car.
