Yes, so same situation like Loix & Mikkelsen last year
Loix and Mikkelsen car came not from Juka but from the Skoda Motorsport itself. Skoda Italia prepared mainly the car of Andreas with probably some factory assistance. Loix was prepared by Skoda Motorsport fully.
Yes ,I know. That's what the article about Wiegand says. Car from Skoda Motorsport serviced by JUKA.Quote:

This is not so big news, I wrote about it one month earlier (here). Only new is confirmed number of events and photo of car :)Quote:

cool, arzeno did very good at monte until his small off, wich was realy unlucky i think. only very low impact and car was broken.
short interview with wiegand:

he thinks that he wont have much chance in the beginning to fight the top drivers, but he will try and wants to get closer to them during the season. he doesnt realy know the car yet and also he doesnt know the rallyes he says, but he´s going to try to get as much info from the internet as possible and watch onboards to prepare as good as possible. he wants to show his best and it wont fail on his attitude. he´s happy to have a international experienced codriver now, and hopes they can improve his pacenotes and gottschalk can help him with tyrechoice etc.
i like him, he has this winning attitude, in general german drivers only talk about not to crash to get experience and finish the rallye, bla, bla, bla...
Jarkko Nikara´s four IRC events will be San Marino, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus. The Subaru Impreza STi R4 is prepared by Tommi Mäkinen Racing and supported by Subaru and Yokohama.
Nikara´s aim is also to drive the British Rally Championship, but the last event will be missed, because Bulgaria is during the same weekend than Yorkshire...
This is good, but somehow I expected more. He also misses all the classic events Tour de Corse, Ypres, Barum and Sanremo, but obvisously he prefers gravel which of course is a bit of pointless.Quote:
