Echipa Red Bull Skoda a anuntat oficial ca incepand cu urmatoarea runda a Campionatului Mondial de Raliuri, Raliul Acropolis din Grecia, germanul Klaus Wicha va ocupa locul din dreapta lui Andreas Aigner pana la sfarsitul sezonului.

Fostul navigator al lui Andreas Aigner, Timo Gottschalk, a luat decizia de a se retrage din cauza tensiunilor si divergentelor aparute in cadrul echipajului. Acesta va ramane in cadrul echipei Red Bull Skoda urmand a se ocupa de diferite sarcini organizatorice.

Klaus Wicha a mai dictat pentru Andreas Aigner in prima jumatate a sezonului 2004 cand Gottschalk a fost nevoit sa ia o pauza din motive de sanatate.
