Followers of Andreas Mikkelsen will know that this documentary was about to be released, and here it is.
Coming from a wealthy background, Mikkelsen clearly acknowledges that his privileged position allowed him more opportunities in his career, but the talent was there from the start. Having competed in slalom and giant slalom, he was a member of the national juniors’ alpine skiing team, before moving to motorcross in 2003 and 2004, he also represented his country.
By the age of seventeen he was competing in rallies in the United Kingdom, piloting a Ford Focus RS WRC, before making his World Rally Championship debut in 2006. Now strongly associated with Volkswagen Motorsport after switching from a Skoda Fabia S2000 – which gave him two IRC titles – to the new Polo R WRC, the 24-year-old Norwegian says he wants a WRC drivers’ title under his belt by the end of 2015.
