RGRS will be busy this year with drivers in both IRC and SWRC !
But I guess GTA will juggle this perfectly !

Hi Mirek, did Wilks get any more seat time after the asphalt test was cut short? Any winter testing yet?Quote:

Franz Wittman wil drive a Peugeot 207 S2000 in the 2010 IRC.
"Franz Wittmann in 2010 will change the Mitsubishi Lancer IX used in IRC 2009 for a Peugeot 207 S2000. Austrian maintain will be housed in a private structure but hopes to fight for better ratings now that we know many of the evidence in this series and will have a car more competitive.
A car being driven by the same pilot will be aligned with that of Waldviertel Rally 2009 as its program for this season will be revealed early next week."
Apparently Andreas Mikkelsen wil be supported by Hankook tires in the 2010 IRC, regardless of the chosen vehicle (Ford Fiesta/Skoda Fabia)
Very good news for Wittman - hope he will show what he is capable of i.e. podiums and wins. Is he using the Pug in MC or not?
Mikkelsen really should have thought about doing MC in my opinion - could give him a lot of publicity and also help Hankook's reputation.

Strange, I thought Wilks would be in a works Skoda Motorsport car painted blue.Quote:

I think that Skoda Motorsport itself is not able to run four cars in one event. Mario Fornaris, who is technical director of Skoda Italia, is one of people who had reasonable part in Fabia development and therefore I expect this team to have very close connections to Skoda Motorsport.
Thanks Mirek. Hopefully we'll see video soon.Quote:
