Andreas Mikkelsen is to make his return to the World Rally Championship a💞fter confirming he will conꦛtest Rally Poland at the wheel of a Skoda Fabia WRC.

The 19-year-old, who became the youngest points scorer in the hist🥀ory of the WRC last season, has focused his attention on the Norwegian Subaru Cup and the Group N title fight in the Norwegian National Championship so far this year, but will now return to the top level of the sport in Poland.

"It'll be great to be behind the wheel of a WRC car again," he said. "I really feel I'm ready now. The last six months of driving in Group N 𓄧have definitely made me a better driv🐎er."

The Skoda was last driven by PWRC front-runner Patrik Sandell on Rally Hedemarken in Sweden last year and has since undergone a complete makeover - including𓆉 having a new engine ൲fitted.

The car will benefit from a service crew from Skoda Motorsport for the Polish eve❀nt.

"We will be taking the Skoda for a two-day test drive in Norway next week, but I haven't tried it yet," Mikkelsen continued. "As far as the conditions we are expecting in Poland are concerned, I have heard that they will be very similar to those i🥃n Rally Finland, which means fast and good gravel roads.

"Even though🍷 I don't know much about the car and the roads in Poland, my goal is - of course - to win points."
