Solberg and Mikkelsen on the Sardinia Power Stage with Pirelli
A new crew will compete in the final special of the next Rally from Sardinia (October 8-11) aboard a Citroën C3 WRC. Norwegian Petter Solberg will come out of his early retirement to test the Pirelli Scorpion KX tires during the Power Stage on Sunday October 11.
The winner of the first edition of the island event in 2004 will be co-driven by his compatriot Andreas Mikkelsen. Yes, the latter will have a notebook even though he is used to occupying the left seat!
“Obviously, this participation does not constitute a serious debut in competition, indicates Terenzio Testoni, responsible for the Italian manufacturer's return to the WRC for 2021. We simply want to demonstrate the capabilities of our new tires to the media and fans. »
Pirelli will replace Michelin as sole rubber supplier from next January until the end of 2024.
