Hello, Steemers!
Mikkelsen tested Hyundai i20 WRC today in Portugal. It was test without any trouble and offs.
Andreas was happy with the car but it's question how much happy after whole year of testing VW Polo WRC 2017.
Mikkelsen was in line to test after Neuville's and Sordo's test (Hyundai tested for three days).
It's not clear what's gonna happen after this test and will it be some contract for him for Portugal (entries are closed I guess).
To remind you Mikkelsen drove two rallies in WRC2 category for Škoda factory team winnining both events: Monte Carlo and Corsica.
He has very strong management in Even Management and his manager Erik Veiby who is powerful and has strong connections.
It's not clear what's gonna happen with Hyundai's fourth driver Kevin Abbring. It's not sure if he lost a deal with them but he started National Rally Championship in Belgium with Peugeot 208 T16 R5.
