Andreas Mikkelsen has completed his preparations for the Barum Czech Rally Zlin this weekend following a successful test with the Hankook motorsport team.

Andreas Mikkelsen will compete on the Barum Rally Zlin later this month in an Opel Corsa OPC Super 2000, as MSD and Hankook step up their programme in preparation for a full assault on the Intercontinental Rally Challenge in 2010.

Tyre giant Hankook is to step up its rally activities following the release of a planned five-round assault on the Intercontinental Rally Challenge this year.

The Hyundai World Rally Team will not compete this weekend in Corsica, and it now appears extremely unlikely that it will take part in any further events this year.
