As I revealed already in December, Patrik Sandell with his co-driver Emil Axelsson will do the S-WRC in 2010 with Red Bull Skoda. Patrik himself tells:

- I’m very pleased to be able to drive for the BRR team again this year. It’s a very professional team, and I very much enjoy working with them. I believe they are the best. We will be able to build upon last year’s experience and progress accordingly. The target can only be the SWRC title!

Also Raimund Baumschlager, team manager, is optimistic and reveals that there will be an updated version of the Skoda Fabia Super2000 in the summer this year, called Evo2. He claims that the Fabia is a winning car and looks forward to the battle even more as Ford enters the scene with their Fiesta this year.

The team will start testing for Rally Sweden already next week, and will then drive seven events in the S-WRC calendar.
I will get back later with an interview with Patrik himself.
