Mladá Boleslav, 9. September 2021 – At the Acropolis #rally #greece (9 – 12 September), ninth of scheduled twelve rounds of the FIA World #rally Championship 2021, the title fight in the #wrc2 category enters the final stage. Category leader #andreasmikkelsen (NOR) behind the 
wheel of the Toksport WRT ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo needs another top result to keep his title chances alive. According to the regulations, only the top six results out of seven events are taken into account. The Norwegian has already one retirement as drop result. On the 
gravel paths of #greece, his sixth #event, he has to go for maximum points. Kajetan Kajetanowicz and co-driver Maciej Szczepaniak (POL/POL), driving a privately entered ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo, are again among the favourites in WRC3 and want to close the gap to the category leader.

Andreas Mikkelsen finished fourth overall at Acropolis #rally #greece in 2013, the last time the #event counted as a round towards the FIA World #rally Championship. “I definitely want to build on my experience. What really makes me confident, is the speed and robustness of my ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo on tough gravel roads. I know, that I need a top result in #greece to keep my title chances alive and I will definitely go for it,” says the Norwegian.

Toksport WRT teammate Marco Bulacia from Bolivia is currently third in the #wrc2 standings and is looking together with co-driver Marcelo Der Ohannesian (ARG) for another good result. During the last #wrc round on gravel they finished third in the category.

The private Polish ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo crew Kajetan Kajetanowicz and co-driver Maciej Szczepaniak won WRC3 category at #rally Croatia and Vodafone #rally de Portugal before they suffered a set-back in Italy due to an accident. At #rally Estonia, they conquered the second category position. Their target for #greece is to close the gap to championship leader Yohan Rossel from France. Also in WRC3, a couple of fast ŠKODA privateers are among the top favourites. Potential top-runners are two crews from Toksport WRT: the 2019 FIA European #rally Champions Chris Ingram/Ross Whittock (GBR/GBR) and Emil Lindholm/Reeta Hämäläinen (FIN/FIN).

17 of the in total 36 Rally2 cars expected at the Acropolis ceremonial start are ŠKODA FABIA, making the Czech brand again the most popular in this class. Toksport WRT alone has entered six crews. To provide support, ŠKODA Motorsport will be present at the Acropolis #rally #greece with technical staff and a truck fully equipped with ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 spare parts.
