Polo R WRC trio leads the way in Wales, Mikkelsen goes fastest in Shakedown
Dream start for Volkswagen in “free practice” for World Rally Cars in Wales.

A fantastic way to open the grand finale: Volkswagen wasted no time in asserting its authority at the Rally Great Britain, finishing first, second and third in the Shakedown.
The “free practice” session ahead of the final round of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) was won by Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene (N/N) in their Polo R WRC.
Second place went to their Volkswagen team-mates Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F), while Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) were third fastest in the third World Rally Car from Wolfsburg.
The 3.32-kilometre stage, parts of which will also form part of Saturday’s “Clocaenog East” special stage, provided the teams with a first taster of the unique conditions they will face at the Rally Great Britain.
The damp gravel roads saw mud and sludge form a slippery surface, on which the Volkswagen drivers completed four (Mikkelsen, Latvala) and two (Ogier) runs in final preparation for this season’s final three days of rallying.
The Rally Great Britain gets underway on Friday morning with the opening “Gartheiniog” special stage.
Before then, a ceremonial start will take place in Colwyn Bay on Thursday evening.
