History
Škoda's 120-year motorsport booklet says that in 1950 two Škoda Supersport 1.1-litre race cars were built with cigar-shaped bodywork and exposed wheels, one fitted with a Roots compressor. In Brno the weaker of the two won its class, while the supercharged car was third in the under-1.5-litre class. In October 1953 the Supersport 1500 with two compressors was shown at Prague Barrandov, where Bobek reached 197.85 km/h.
