Monaco Resident Andreas Mikkelsen and his teammate Anders Jaeger have won the WRC2 Tour de Corse-Rallye de France, in their second appearance with Skoda Motorsport.
“To win was the target and I’m very pleased that we did it,” said Mr Mikkelsen after the race, during which he won all of Friday’s stages of the WRC’s opening pure asphalt round of the year.
The Mikkelsen and Jaeger team finished 1 minute and 6 seconds ahead of the runner-up, Suninen, on Friday.
“We had a good fight going with Eric Camilli on the first stages, and I know he masters these roads very well. But then he made a mistake and was out of the fight. Continuing from there it was all about controlling the drive and secure the victory,” Mr Mikkelsen added.
“I’m very grateful to Skoda Motorsport who gave us another opportunity for a drive in a great car, and I’m also happy to celebrate my WRC event number 80 with a good result.”
