It is one of the toughest challenges on the WRC calendar, but no shortage of ŠKODA Customer Teams are rising to the challenge.

The Norwegian duo of Ole Christian Veiby / Stig Rune Skjærmoen finished 6th in the WRC2 standings in a Printsport Oy FABIA R5 here last year and are looking to improve this time round.

They are joined by experienced Norwegian Henning Solberg, who is competing here for the 18th time in his career. Also taking part are the Finnish duo of Jukka Ketomäki / Jarkko Alanen, Kjell Sandberg and Göran Lönnmark from Sweden, and the Swiss driver Federico Della Casa and his co-driver Domenico Pozzi from Italy.
