IRC – Good opportunity for Mikkelsen

Andreas Mikkelsen will take the wheel again this weekend for the Barum Zlin Rally held this weekend in the Czech Republic. The Norwegian still intends to stock up on points after only being able to take fifth place (behind Thierry Neuville) last year. “I’ve done the Barum Rally more times than any other IRC event, so I know it well. We were very fast last year until a puncture and I'm looking forward to coming back for the fourth time. I feel confident after my victory in Sibiu and I hope to achieve a good result there. Barum is a special test. All Skoda Fabias are very fast and it won't be easy to fight against drivers like Jan (Kopecky) and Juho (Hänninen), but I think we have our chances. »
