Volkswagen Motorsport completes first WRC event in Finland

World Rally Championship Volkswagen Motorsport completed its first competitive test rally on its way to the 2013 FIA World Rally Championship with the Polo R WRC. Volkswagen Motorsport entered two Fabia S2000 cars from the group brand Škoda with the driver pairings Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Floene (Norway) and Joonas Lindroos/Pasi Kilpeläinen (Finland) in the eighth of 13 WRC rounds. Unfortunately both teams failed to make the finish. A radiator damaged by a stone saw the early demise of Mikkelsen/Floene after the 17th stage.
Lindroos/Kilpeläinen retired after rolling on the eighth special stage.
