(ESP, #rally Team Spain) and local hero Mikołaj Marczyk (Orlen Team) among top seeds Mladá Boleslav, 17 June 2021 – With the upcoming ORLEN #rallypoland (18 – 20 June 2021), the FIA European #rally Championship (ERC) starts into the COVID-19 delayed season. In
total 15 ŠKODA Motorsport customer crews prepare for the gravel roads in the northern part of the country, making up more than a third of the competitors in top class RC2. The 2021 edition of the world’s second oldest #rally features 14 stages covering 202.76 kilometres.
Celebrating its 100th birthday, #rallypoland offers some new features to the 72 teams on the ERC entry list. While the high-speed gravel roads around Mikołajki in the Masurian Lake District again host the main action, the finish will be held in Warsaw. The last of in total 14 stages, named “Rally #poland 100th Anniversary”, is the event’s only sealed-surface test and runs on asphalt or cobblestones through streets of the historic part of the country’s capital.
One of the drivers, who have already won second oldest #rally in the world still existing, is Andreas Mikkelsen. This year driving a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo run by Toksport WRT, the Norwegian triumphed, when #rallypoland was part of the FIA World #rally Championship (WRC) back in 2016. “It has always been one of my favourite rallies, the profile of the roads, the speed, a little bit of loose, but it’s offering quite high grip. That gives a nice sensation on the fast stages,” Mikkelsen looks ahead. “It’s a fast #rally and you have to be really committed. That means, it’s good fun.” Consequently, Mikkelsen and co-driver Ola Fløene are one of the top-seeded crews among the roughly 40 competitors entered in the top class of RC2 cars.
Also in this category fits Nils Solans, the FIA Junior World #rally Champion of 2017. He shares one of #rally Team Spain's ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo with #wrc #event winning co-driver Marc Martí. High hopes for overall victory as well share local heroes Mikołaj Marczyk/Szymon Gospodarczyk in Team Orlen's ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo and multiple Hungarian champion Norbert Herczig/Ramón Ferencz of ŠKODA #rally Team Hungaria.
Emilio Fernández/Ruben Garcia (CHL/ARG, Toksport WRT), Efrén Llarena/Sara Fernández (ESP/ESP, #rally Team Spain), Grzegorz Grzyb/Michał Praodzisz (POL/POL, RUFA Motor-Sport), Simone Tempestini/Sergiu Itu (ROM/ROM), Vladas Jurkevičius/Aisvydas Paliukėnas (LTU/LTU), Adrian Chwietczuk/Jarosłav Baran (POL/POL, Holowczyc Racing), Wojciech Chuchała/Sebastian Rozwadowski (POL/POL, Marten Sport), Gregor Jeets/Timo Taniel (EST/EST, Tehase Auto), Kacper Wróblewski/Jakub Wróbel (POL/POL), Aloísio Monteiro/Sancho Eíro (POR/POR) and Alberto Batistolli/Simone Scattolin (ITA/ITA) add up to a total of 15 private ŠKODA crews on the ERC entry list.
