Next week’s FIA World Rally Championship showdown at ACI Rally Monza (3 – 6 December) has attracted the largest entry for a WRC round in 20 months. In the Word Rally Car category, where Elfyn Evans is bidding to secure a maiden drivers’ title and Hyundai Motorsport aims to retain the manufacturers’ crown, 11 cars are listed from four teams. In WRC 2, title-chasing duo Pontus Tidemand, driving Toksport’s Skoda Fabia Evo, and Mads Østberg, in a Citroën C3 R5, are the top names. “It’s a good opportunity to show that when I’m in a car that does what I want it to do, we can be super quick,” Mikkelsen told wrc.com.
