Intercontinental Rally Challenge champion Andreas Mikkelsen made sure of victory on the Sibiu Rally with his 10th fastest stage time through the 1.90-kilometre Superspeciala.
Mikkelsen was 0.9s faster than Patrik Flodin through the spectator stage on the outskirts of Sibiu. After beating François Delecour in their head-to-head battle, ŠKODA UK Motorsport Fabia Super 2000 driver Mikkelsen said: “It’s been a long weekend. With so big gap it’s just about getting the car to the finish. We had lot of second places, it’s nice to be again on the top spot. It’s an important result for the whole team.”
Valentin Porcisteanu was third quickest, 4.0s down on Mikkelsen with Delecour fourth fastest in his Peugeot 207 Super 2000. Edwin Keleti equalled Delecour’s time to finish the event as the top Romanian in fifth overall. Vitaliy Puskhar wrapped up the IRC Production Cup victory with Robert Consani clinching the IRC 2WD Cup laurels in his Renault Clio R3.
