According to today’s NWT, PG Andersson is hoping for four more appearances in the Skoda Fabia Super2000 this year with the Czech JM Racing team following his superb win in the S2000 class in Sweden. The team is planning to enter six WRC events, and PG is aiming to drive four of them. The other two will probably go to other drivers, where one driver is already planned for Rally Japan.

The rallies PG is planning to enter is Rally Portugal followed by Rally Finland, Rally of France and Wales Rally GB. However, according to NWT, Andersson is still lacking around €200000 of his budget and if he doesn’t manage to get all the money he may skip France or GB.

The previous talks about Rally Sardinia is currently put on ice in favour of the mentioned four events.

Here are two fresh videos from PG Andersson’s test yesterday with the Skoda Fabia Super2000 in Norway. This Monday was PG’s only test day with the Skoda and the team, Czech based JM Racing, before Rally Sweden. The team has brought six men to Sweden, including three mechanics, one team manager, one engineer and one coordinator. PG himself brings in his regular mechanics “Pitan” and “Henke”.

PG Andersson changed his mind: drives Skoda Fabia Super 2000 in Rally Sweden

PG did the right thing and changed his mind: He goes for the Skoda Fabia Super 2000 in Rally Sweden. Already when the entries for the rally closed, PG told that he was still talking to Skoda via e-mail – but he still insisted that he was almost certain to drive the Mitsubishi in his home round. However, now he has changed his mind and comes to start in a brand new Skoda Fabia Super2000 – and then becomes an immediate favourite to win the Super2000 race and the N4 class.

PG himself, who makes his debut in the class, says:

- It will really be fun to test this class – and especially on my home soil.

Now, we have an even more interesting fight to look forward to in group N with Andersson, Sandell, Brynhildsen, Mikkelsen, Prokop among others. My guess is that this will be the closest and most intense fight in the rally, with a lot of young guys wanting to win like nobody else.

PG Andersson’s group N wildcard has been given to Jocke Nyman – and PG will get a new wildcard from the organisers for the S-WRC instead. His car will be managed by Czech company JM Racing.
