Norwegians Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene kept cool and drove the Toksport WRT run ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo to a strong second place overall. With ambient temperatures peaking at 35 degrees centigrade, the competition on the demanding high-speed gravel roads of Rally Poland was a tough test for men and machine. Also, the opener of the 2021 FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) celebrated its 100th birthday with an impressive entry list of 72 crews, 15 of them competing in ŠKODA FABIA. Right from the start, Norwegians Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene in a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo run by Toksport WRT were locked in a fierce fight for podium positions. “It was okay, although I did some mistakes and lost some seconds,” was Mikkelsen’s comment after the first half of the Saturday leg. In general, the Rally Poland winner of 2016 – when it was part of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) – took a more cautious approach after not finishing the last WRC round in Italy.

    2018 MEDIA GUIDE Rallye Deutschland August 16 - 19, 2018 ROUND 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Rallye Deutschland August 16 - 19, 2018 HYUNDAI’S HELLO Welcome to Rallye Deutschland, Hyundai Motorsport’s home event, which takes place during a very exciting time for the WRC with both title battles finely balanced. Although last month’s Rally Finland didn’t produce the ultimate result for our team, Hayden finished just outside the podium places after a strong drive. Thierry and Nicolas continue to lead the Drivers’ championship with an advantage of 21 points, while the Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team heads the Manufacturers’ championship by 26 points so there’s plenty of reason to be positive. I must also congratulate our HMDP crew of Jari and Antti for recording their first WRC2 podium of the year with second in that class. Rallye Deutschland is the first tarmac event on the calendar since Tour de Corse in April. Since then we’ve worked on improving the suspension, especially the dampers, and centre differential mapping with two aims in mind: to achieve more grip for the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC and find a better balance. This follows feedback from our drivers during Corsica where they reported being hampered by understeer. Our three drivers for Germany – Thierry, Dani and Andreas – have all sampled the changes during development testing and they also got the opportunity to finalise their set-ups during the recent pre-event test, which took place over five days so we could experience the vineyard roads and those within the Baumholder military range, which are very specific to this rally.

  • Factbook 2019 Wrc Factbook 2019 / Prograde Photo of the Year Wrc Factbook 2019 / Intro
    FACTBOOK 2019 WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / PROGRADE PHOTO OF THE YEAR WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / INTRO WRC FACTBOOK 2019 The 2018 WRC season will be remembered as the most exciting and dramatic in a generation. It is 15 years since a drivers’ title fight of similar magnitude and a compelling season-long battle involving three drivers was finally resolved on the last morning of the season in Australia. It was a similar story in the manufacturers’ championship. All four teams won rallies and three made the long journey Down Under still with an opportunity to claim the crown. Following a similarly enthralling and unpredictable 2017 cam- paign, when new-era World Rally Cars headlined a raft of major changes to the championship, it is clear our sport is in the midst of an unforgettable period in its history. Away from the close competition, the WRC has grown in stature. The year opened with a major launch at Birmingham’s Autosport International show and finished with a glamorous end of season gala in Sydney and with the cars showcased once more in front of Milan’s iconic cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo. Our pioneering WRC+ All Live channel revolutionised the way in which fans could enjoy the sport as it happened. Every special stage from each round was streamed live, featuring stunning onboard and helicopter footage. It was supplemented by expert analysis and reactions from across the service park – adding up to more than 325 hours of live coverage. Our traditional TV coverage thrived too. The WRC’s global audi- ence and the number of broadcast hours continue their positive trend of the last years.

    2018 MEDIA GUIDE Rally Turkey September 13 - 16, 2018 ROUND 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Rally Turkey September 13 - 16, 2018 HYUNDAI’S HELLO Welcome to Rally Turkey and to an exciting step into the unknown for Hyundai Motorsport and the world championship fraternity. While Turkey is no stranger to the WRC, the event’s new home in Marmaris means an untried route for all manufacturer drivers and teams. And with the battle for both titles at a crucial stage with four rallies remaining, we can expect a very open and action-packed event in what is an important market for Hyundai: car production – including the road-going i20 – at its Izmit plant is 205,000 units per year. I was pleased that we were able to secure a podium result at our home rally in Germany last month. It means Thierry and Nicolas were able to increase their lead of the Drivers’ championship to 23 points, while Hyundai’s advantage over Toyota in the Manufacturers’ championship is 13 points. It was an eventful final morning in Germany, which unfortunately included a retirement for Dani and Carlos, ending their own podium charge. It was a pity for them after a strong weekend. They had the confidence and the speed, and we know they’ll take the positives ahead of their home rally in Spain next month. Thierry and Nicolas were there to pick up the position following Dani’s retirement with Andreas and Anders also moving up to sixth place. For Turkey, we welcome Hayden and Seb back to the team and we look forward to counting on their past performances and experience on gravel to boost our championship hopes on this event.

Having fought so hard for both the Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ titles in 2018, the winter break not only provided an opportunity to recharge our batteries, it was also a great chance to assess how we could be stronger during the season ahead. We therefore begin 2019 rejuvenated and with a firm battle plan in place. Being appointed Team Director of Hyundai Motorsport is a completely new challenge for me and a step forward from what I’ve done so far, which gives me even more motivation to work together with the team to reach our goals. Our objectives for WRC remain the same as they have always been, namely to fight for the Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ titles. This is important for Hyundai and our N brand. The WRC is incredibly competitive and the other teams will want to approach the new season with the same winning mind-set. We have to make sure we’re delivering and performing at our best at all times. In my new role, it is a real privilege to welcome Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena to the Hyundai Motorsport family. Nine-time world champions, they will contest six rounds with our team, starting on Rallye Monte-Carlo, an event they have won a record seven times.

  • The MICHELIN LTX Force S5 in Control on Poland's Dirt Tracks
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2017 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) Round 8: ORLEN 74th Rally Poland The MICHELIN LTX Force S5 in control on Poland’s dirt tracks The 2017 Rally Poland will be remembered for the appalling weather and storms that swept over the country’s Mikolajki region prior to the start and compelled the organisers to cancel Thursday’s official send-off ceremony. There was copious rain, too, for the first day of action on Friday which made life complex for the crews who faced further mud on the final morning, Sunday. Despite the adverse conditions, the cars still reached average speeds of almost 125kph on the high- speed yet narrow tracks, with top speeds in excess of 200kph in places. Only late-July’s Rally Finland witnesses such fast stages. The total length of this year’s Rally Poland, which was based once more in the beautiful Masurian Lake District, was 1,422.63km, including 23 stages that totalled 338.34km. The sandy ground visited by the event counts amongst the softest of the championship, yet the compact surface crust can soon become rutted, and mud was another problem this year. Thankfully, Michelin’s WRC partners were able to count on the services of the soft-compound LTX Force S5 which, thanks to its broader operating window, was the weekend’s nominated and was selected from start to finish. Similarly, the French brand’s WRC2 crews opted for the soft MICHELIN Latitude Cross S80. “First of all, I would like to congratulate Thierry Neuville on his victory today and Ott Tanak on his great run which contributed to the fight that kept us entertained for more than 20 stages before his off on the last morning,” said Jacques Morelli, the manager of Michelin’s WRC programme.

At the ninth round of this year’s World Rally Championship (WRC), a total of 14 teams in the WRC 2 group class are competing in a ŠKODA, including six teams fighting for victory in the WRC 2. The numbers speak for themselves – the Czech rally car is by far the most popular in this category. So far, ŠKODA Motorsport has delivered more than 150 ŠKODA FABIA R5s to customers worldwide. The ŠKODA FABIA R5’s success story began two years ago with a strong debut at the WRC Rally de Portugal 2015. At its maiden competition, the brand-new rally car proved right from the start that it would be the car to beat in the WRC 2.

  • Mikkelsen Dominates Opening Day of an Icy Rally Monte Carlo in the ŠKODA FABIA R5
    ŠKODA Motorsport Press Release, Page 1 of 4 Mikkelsen dominates opening day of an icy Rally Monte Carlo in the ŠKODA FABIA R5 › Andreas Mikkelsen/Anders Jæger impress on guest appearance in the ŠKODA FABIA R5 and take a lead of 2:47.4 minutes over team-mates Jan Kopecký/Pavel Dresler into the final two days of the rally › 40 years after historic triumph: spectators enjoy special livery on the works team’s three FABIA R5s › Mikkelsen: “I am very happy with the ŠKODA FABIA R5!” Gap/France, 20 January 2017 – Andreas Mikkelsen (N) dominated the early stages of the 85th Rally Monte Carlo on his guest appearance with the ŠKODA Motorsport works team. A lot of snow and ice are making the opening round of the 2017 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC 2) far from easy, but Mikkelsen and his co-driver Anders Jæger (N) passed every test with flying colours in the ŠKODA FABIA R5. The successful duo lead the WRC 2 class and head into the final two days of the most famous and oldest rally in the world with a lead of 2:47.4 minutes over ŠKODA team-mates Jan Kopecký/Pavel Dresler (CZ/CZ). “I am very happy with the ŠKODA FABIA R5! It goes without saying that it was a big adjustment at first, but we started cautiously and then gradually upped the tempo. We now feel right at home in the car, although they were really extremely difficult conditions,” said Mikkelsen. The 27-year-old Norwegian was part of the Volkswagen Motorsport team that won the World Rally Championship in each of the past four years.
