Andreas Mikkelsen was really looking forward to his asphalt debut driving a Volkswagen Polo R WRC in Rallye de France. The 24 year old Norwegian had hoped to do better than seventh place, despite the difficult driving conditions.

On the bright side, however, he managed 5 of the fastest times in four special stages on the final day. Andreas’ team-mate, Sebastien Ogier, had more success, winning the world title on home soil.
