Andreas Mikkelsen, Volkswagen Polo R WRC #9'After a lengthy break, the Shakedown is always the perfect opportunity to get used to the speed and feel in a World Rally Car again. We did precisely that today. The coming days will be tough for the car and us, the driver and co-driver. The rain has severely eroded the roads and left some deep holes. For this reason, it will be important to drive intelligently and look after the car, as well as to be quick. I have always had good results in Argentina. I am looking forward to the rally.' Jost Capito, Volkswagen Motorsport Director 'We face a big challenge at the Rally Argentina, but showed in today's Shakedown that we are ready for it. The 'Recce' showed that the roads are seriously eroded and littered with holes and sharp stones. We must counter this very cleverly. Argentina is one of our favourite motorsport venues and Volkswagen has enjoyed great success here in the past. Ideally, we will succeed again on Sunday. However, we have a lot of work ahead of us before then.'
