Andreas Mikkelsen is favorite for a possible third cockpit

Andreas Mikkelsen has recommended himself with his performance at the Rally Sardinia once more for better things. He drove in the Skoda S2000 in seventh place and finished it just two places behind team-mate Sebastien Ogier and veteran. It is still unclear whether Volkswagen will go next season with three Polo R WRC at the start. One thing is certain yet that start early in the season, only two of the all-new Polos.

After Rally Mexico wants VW to decide whether the number of vehicles has increased to three. "The plan is to start with a third car when the WRC returns to Europe -.. So from Portugal It depends on how well the season is when there is a drama, we are inserting no third vehicle," said team boss Jost Capito.

The odds on three Polos are good, the driver of the vehicle is already in the starting blocks. "The driver with the best chance is Andreas [Mikkelsen]. Has done a good job and is a great guy," praised the Norwegian Capito. The development of the young pilot was definitely an argument for a cockpit.
