Yes, I think Mikkelsen is good, yet not great. He was quite impressive in France and Rally GB last year.Quote:

Yes a great driver in his field. What people are doing here is comparing him to Loeb and Ogier, the Ford crew and current era of drivers.
I still think Loix was a number two Driver to Tommi as Sordo was to Loeb!!!!! There to bring in the points and keep a leash on the top rivals to support the no.1 driver :)
Volkswagen Motorsport has published a news item on their home page after Rally Finland: 2013 WRC countdown begins: Volkswagen Motorsport completes first rally event in Finland - Volkswagen Motorsport

But Loix did bring the money to Mitsu so they could run the cars, if Mitsu would have had big support from the factory, Loix would have ended up like he did with Peugeot.Quote:

what exactly are they testing with a fabia ?? do the polo and fabia share the same chassis or engine or something ???
Suspension, transmission etc. Polo won't be made from white paper. They have quite good start point in Fabia which is especially valuable since Polo and Fabia have almost same platform, so You it's very easy to mount parts of one into the other. Moreover Fabia 1.6T was in development for a whole year with working engine, so another experience comes from that.
Totally unprofessional approach if they actually use a fabia to test their WRC car....
