Will be very exiting to follow him in a top car/tire combo in IRC, and he will do testing.
Is Skoda UK running the car itself, or are someone else doing it for them ?
Skoda Italy again, starting on this weekend's Rally GB!Quote:

It's not Barwa but Czech FORD National Team he was entered for. So there is very funny situation when he drives Fabia under Ford team :D
So, now it's official - great news!

Andreas appeared on UK motoring show "5th Gear" last night, driving a Fabia RS in a navigational rally.
It can be watched here (not sure if this will work outside of the UK): http://fwd.channel5.com/fifth-gear/v...reas-mikkelsen
