    Are you sure Mikkelsen still is fastest?

    Toksport is already running a Fabia RS Rally2 from Eurosol Racing Team in MC and Sweden. So don't know they've capacity enough. And it will be interesting to see if he brings sponsors with him or he renegotiated with Skoda Motorsport.

    Seems like a private funded deal from sponsors, he put a pirelli tyre on his Facebook today, they are probably a part of the deal.

    Was last year, some good contenders this year, but he is the benchmark.

    Let´s see.
    Now it´s Mikkelsen having pressure. Could be kind of new situation for him.

    very solid debut from Virves in Sweden, pushed only on couple of stages to see his speed and on those stages he set TOP3 times.

    in Powerstage podcast he revelaed that he drove the whole weekend with the wrong seat, as i understand it was too big for him and on the technical and tricky parts it was actually very hard for him to handle the car cause he couldnt move his hands like he wanted. They had a smaller seat also as an option but that was too small and then the vision would have been bad.

    What is the new situation for Mikkelsen?

    There is defenitly some drivers with the speed (Solberg, Gryazin, Rossel, Sunninen) in specific rallies, but Mikkelsen is fast on all the rallies.

    I´m not all sure when he drove last time. And he wants to go to Rally1 car. That makes pressure.

    Hopefully there is no "I come and dominate it!" PR stuff from Mikkelsen, this didn't work out too well.

    As a benchmark Mikkelsen is definitely valuable, however good are others, he is more stable than average WRC2 driver.

    About his Rally1 target... What should happen that there are some (new) seat available?
