Selected events in WRC car would be good option and at the same time do the military, after that 100% try to brake and get a works seat.

At the end of next year maybe you should ask Mr Alen and Mr Hanninen how easy that 'minor league' is.

However, I do agree that Mikkelsen should get his military service out of the way and try to make a comeback later when the economic situation may be better and there may be more than 6 works seats in the WRC.

I think it will be a good move for him. It will probably do his driving skills some good to compete in a truly competitive championship and also to improve his skills on asphalt. Got to be better than another year crusing around in the Mitsubishi gravel cup.

Perhaps it is also nice for him to drive in a championship where he has been signed on his talent and not the size of his wallet.

Lol, thats not a good move if the driver has been focusing the whole carreer to drive in WRC, last friday he said in a interview that he wish he can continiue on WRC level, so for him its everything else but good.

I don't know what his contract with Skoda says, maybe we will see him do some pWRC events too.

Anyhow, he can always go back in the future, when maybe there are more paid seats than pay drivers in WRC.

Also glad to see more than one Finn brave enough to take on IRC ;)

It has nothing to do with baveness where they drive, every single finnish driver who put out enormous sums of money in an international rally carreer has only 1 goal, and that is a works seat and to get someday back the money they have invested, thats also why almost everyone stop with the driving if they cant do it.

So without IRC, there would have been nothing for Juho next year?
