Neuville and Mäkinen join forces

Four times World Rally Champion Tommi Mäkinen and his team improved the skills of Belgian rally star Thierry Neuville on snow and ice for the upcoming WRC Rally of Sweden. A masterclass from a true legend.

“I’ve never raced in conditions like these and so I don’t know quite what to expect,” said Neuville. “I’m going to have to learn about how studded tyres work on ice and snow, so I fully expect for it to feel fairly strange. My aim is just to make it to the finish, no more than that. I am just starting to learn about the WRC and I have to rack up the miles on the road. We have been fortunate enough to join a very professional team and we’ll be listening to all the advice we are given to try and do a good job.”
