Following his category victory on Rallye Monte-Carlo last month, the FIA European Rally Championship winner from 2021 drove his Toksport WRT Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo to victory in Sweden earlier today.
Afterwards Mikkelsen, who was co-driven by fellow Norwegian Torstein Eriksen, said: “We wanted to fight for the win, we had to push to the maximum and that’s what we did. The pace was really, really high, it was an intense weekend and I was very happy to finish on top.”
The 2022 ERC season gets underway with Rally Serras de Fafe - Felgueiras - Cabreira e Boticas in northern Portugal from March 11-13, an event Mikkelsen won last season.
