wrong! i belive that the factor DRIVER is so much more important than the factor MACHINE
Mikkelsen is a first class driver (the only one who beat ogier with equal conditions in equal car) in a second class car.....on the other hand we have second class drivers such as Lappi, Suninen, Breen and Lefebvre in first class car...skoda R5 is the best car in its class, it is fast an reliable AND especially in Monte and at gravel rallyes Mikkelsen may have an advantage in starting position...nobody knows how fast the toyotas will be, but it is sure they are not as reliable as the Skoda, so....everything is possible and my fingers are crossed for Andreas Mikkelsen...i wish nobody bad luck!Juha Kankkunen: "The speed was o.K., but the corner was to tight"

Nah, the R5 shall be nowhere near 2017 WRC performance and Latvala or Häninen aren't drivers like Al Quassimi.

Tempestini will make this season Wrc2 with Citroen because he won last year the Wrc3 trophy. He try to find budget for another 2 european races.Also he will compete in the Roumania championship.

Skoda were thought likely to run with Tidemand, Kopecky and Veiby next year so if Mikkelsen joins Skoda then I suppose it will be at the expense of Veiby (another Even driver)

EVEN really have their claws deep into Skoda I guess. Shame for Veiby but hopefully he can still get some outings this year.
IF Mikkelsen does register for the full championship then I really can't see him not winning. Big question for me next year is Suninen and what he does...RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia
