Silver: Second and a first WRC podium for Andreas Mikkelsen

Wolfsburg ,Volkswagen claimed its second one-two of the season at the second round of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).
Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila and Andreas Mikkelsen/Mikko Markkula not only clinched a frenetically celebrated one-two, but also put on an extremely gripping duel for the fans. In difficult conditions at the Rally Sweden thawing temperatures, snow and rain made for a difficult combination the Polo R WRC proved to be the fastest car for the second time in a row.
The very fast and “bad” Polo R WRC driven by Jari-Matti Latvala is equipped with the OMP seat “World Champion” HTE-ONE-E and with the most innovative safety harnesses in the world made in Dyneema®DA0027HSL.
