Further develoment test for Mikkelsen and Pirelli

Hi, friends!

Pirelli is preparing their tires extensively for the World Rally Championship next season because they won the tender and they will be an official WRC supplier for all the works teams around.

They also chose Norwegian Andreas Mikkelsen to be their test driver in a development process.

It is a good choice because he has an experience of driving for almost all works teams they are around or they were around in the last 10 years.

He also drove for Citroen before signing with Hyundai and that stint with Citroen was quite successful.

He didn't win with Citroen but there was one 2nd place in a a three outings with them.

Now he is again behind a wheel of Citroen C3 WRC because Pirelli chose them for a development WRC car. Well, they are not around anymore because they pull the plug at the end of last season so it would be unfair to choose a present manufacturer because that would be a favor for them because of testin 2021 evolution of tires on the present competition vehicle against the opposition.

Mikkelesn puts some of his testing videos on his YT channel so you can see how it works from the first hand. Enjoy...
