Mladá Boleslav, 16 November 2021 – For the second time in a row, the famous Formula One circuit of #monza in Italy hosts the finale of the FIA World #rally Championship. ACI #rallymonza (19–21 November) welcomes Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) of ŠKODA Motorsport supported team Toksport WRT as prematurely crowned WRC2 Drivers’ Champion. Thus, the Norwegian can fully concentrate on saving the WRC2 Teams’ Championship for Toksport WRT. Also driving a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo, Kajetan Kajetanowicz and co-driver Maciej Szczepaniak (POL/POL) fight for the WRC3 category title.

For ŠKODA driver Andreas Mikkelsen, the 2021 season was his most successful in terms of titles. The 32 years old Norwegian prematurely won the WRC2 Drivers’ category of the FIA World #rally Championship (WRC) as well as the FIA European #rally Championship (ERC). At the season finishing ACI #rallymonza, his main goal is to help Toksport WRT to win the WRC2 Championship for Teams. His new co-driver for this event will be Briton Phil Hall. “Last year at this event, I won the WRC3 category on my return to the World #rally Championship with ŠKODA,” Mikkelsen says ahead of the WRC’s Italian “grande finale”.

Mikkelsen’s young teammate Marco Bulacia will join the fight for the team’s title. Strong competition for both Toksport WRT crews will come from Nicolay Gryazin/Konstantin Aleksandrov. Driving a privately entered ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo, the Russian crew proved their speed on tarmac stages with a second place in WRC2 at the recent RallyRACC #rally de España.

In the WRC3 category the private ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo crew Kajetan Kajetanowicz/Maciej Szczepaniak from Poland has chances to win the title. Coming to #monza, Kajetanowicz leads the overall classification with the same points total as Frenchman Yohan Rossel. The 
2019 FIA European #rally Champions Chris Ingram/Ross Whittock (GBR/GBR) target a top WRC3 result with their ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo as well. With a total of 28 entries at ACI #rallymonza, ŠKODA is once again the most popular brand in the class of Rally2 cars.

ACI #rallymonza features 16 special stages totalling 245.46 kilometres. The #rally kicks off on Friday (19 November) with a first loop of four stages in the mountains to the north of #monza, before it returns to the Autodromo Nazionale di #monza for three more stages. On Saturday (20 November), the #rally heads north for another four stages on country roads, the afternoon sees two tests on the #monza circuit.
