Għan-niżla, 'l isfel dale u kollox bejniethom - Is-sewwieq tax-xogħlijiet ta' Skoda Andreas Mikkelsen jgħidilna l-istadji favoriti tiegħu tar-rallyXiljat il-biċċa tat-triq favorita tiegħek? Huwa mgħaġġel, mibrum, dejjaq jew wiesa '? Kull dilettant għandu tweġiba, iżda ftit jistgħu top a rally sewwieqa tweġibiet għall-kwalità jew varjetà. Tajn, borra jew qatran, raw kollox. Veloċi, tekniċi, miksija bis-siġar jew teetering fuq preċipizju, għamlu dan. Dejjem kontra l-arloġġ u fis-sħana tal-kompetizzjoni, jindirizzaw id-dinjiet l-aktar toroq iebsa fid-dinjiet l-aktar karozzi estremi tat-triq. Iċ-champion doppju tal-IRC Skodas, Andreas Mikkelsen, jista 'jkun biss 23, iżda għandu sitt snin ta' kompetizzjoni fl-aqwa titjira warajh. Huwa kkompeta madwar id-dinja f'varjetà ta 'karozzi, u t-tweġiba tiegħu għall-mistoqsija tgħidlek ħafna dwar dak li jimmotivah. Hemm temi komuni f'ħafna mit-tweġibiet tiegħu - notevolment li iktar ma tkun kbira u aktar mgħaġġla l-isfida, iktar ikun kuntent - iżda huwa daqstant ċar li biex tkun sewwieq ta 'rally ta' suċċess trid tkun tista 'twassal, ikunu xi jkunu l-kundizzjonijiet. Hawnhekk, allura, huma Mikkelsens 10 sfidi favoriti fid-dinja ... Vargåsen - Rally Sweden Dan l-istadju għandu kollox: crests għomja, sezzjonijiet stretti, tekniċi u biċċiet verament veloċi. Imma kulħadd jafha għall-qabża magħrufa bħala Colins Crest, imsemmija f'ġieħ iċ-champion tad-dinja tal-1995 Colin McRae. Dak li jagħmilha daqshekk speċjali huwa li mhux biss qabża ċatta; jeħtieġ li jkollok pacenotes super-preċiżi, il-ko-sewwieq tiegħek jeħtieġ li jsejjaħlu perfettament u jeħtieġ li jkollok linja speċifika ħafna. Dak u blalen super-kbar. L-iktar karozzi mgħaġġla qabżu aktar minn 30 metru fuq il-crest is-sena l-oħra. Dan huwa mod twil orribbli biex tkun fl-arja mingħajr kontroll meta tkun sejjer b'veloċità għolja - speċjalment jekk tolqot il-linja tal-qabża. Sete Cidades - Rallye Azores Dan huwa magħruf bħala l-istadju tal-vulkan minħabba l-post, li huwa pjuttost spettakolari meta tiegħek wieqaf xorta, aħseb u ara li toħroġ ċatta f'karozza rally. Hemm sezzjoni twila li tgħaddi tul il-quċċata ta 'linja, bi qtar massiv fuq kull naħa. It-toroq f'dan ir-rally huma ġeneralment dojoq ħafna, iżda f'xi partijiet verament jiftħu. Dan jeħtieġ stil tekniku ħafna ta 'sewqan, u nħobb dan. Hemm ukoll sezzjonijiet tal-avveniment fejn l-istadji għandhom kemm sezzjonijiet taż-żrar kif ukoll tat-tarmak. Ħafna sewwieqa jobogħdu li, hekk kif il-karozza tħossha daqshekk maħlula fuq it-tarmak fuq settings taż-żrar, imma nħobb l-isfida. Ouninpohja - Rally Finlandja Dan huwa wieħed mill-aktar stadji famużi fil-Kampjonat Dinji tar-Rally. F'21 mil, hija sfida tassew twila. Int ċatt fuq iż-żrar, iċċaqlaq il-karozza b'veloċità għolja fuq crests għomja u qbiż li jibqgħu ġejjin lejk biss. Huwa wieħed minn dawk l-istadji li qatt ma ssuq perfettament, għax hemm ħafna x'tieħu. L-esperjenza tgħin, iżda hemm wisq x'titgħallem f'ħajja waħda. Il-veloċitajiet huma wkoll tant għoljin li qatt ma tista 'tieħu riskji; jekk ma tirrispettax il-palk, jigdmuk. Nofs triq - Wales Rally GB Fil-fatt kelli ħabta pjuttost kbira hawn fl-2007. Il-karozza marret aktar minn ħames jew sitt darbiet wara li żlajt offline u qatgħet bank. Ma kienx daqshekk ħażin; ġeneralment, il-ħabtiet li ma jispiċċawx b'waqfa f'daqqa mhumiex daqshekk kbar. Imma dak li nħobb dwar dan l-istadju huwa dak li qabadni wkoll: huma toroq veloċi u li jiċċirkolaw, u jekk titlef il-linja allura trid taċċetta li titlef ħafna ħin jew tirriskja li titlaq. Il-crests huma frekwenti u ħafna drabi jissikkaw, allura trid issuq b'kunfidenza u tisma 'lill-ko-sewwieq tiegħek, mhux għajnejk. Glen Roy - Rally Isle of Man In-nies jgħidu li s-sewwieqa tar-rally huma ġenn, iżda wara li rally fuq l-Isle of Man naf li jien kompletament san meta mqabbel mal-bikers. Dan huwa dak li rally reali huwa dwar: stadji stretti u twisty, miftuħa, moorland veloċi, hairpins, crests, kantunieri għomja u kull ħaġa oħra bejniethom. Li nagħżel stadju wieħed kbir mhuwiex faċli - huma kollha kbar - iżda Glen Roy huwa wieħed minn dawk li jeħel f'moħħi, mhux l-inqas għax għadni nżomm l-iktar ħin mgħaġġel li qatt sar fuqu. Bi ftit aktar minn 4. 5 mili fit-tul, il-qasir tiegħu, iżda huwa wkoll divertenti. Dan huwa rally speċjali bħal dan; għandu atmosfera unika, u ġurnata waħda Ma ssibx mod kif terġa 'lura hemm. Molls Gap - Ċirkwit tal-Irlanda Rallying huwa sport enormi fl-Irlanda, u l-istadju Molls Gap huwa forsi l-aktar famuż minn kulħadd. Huwa daqshekk mgħaġġel, u jaqta 'permezz ta' xenarju miftuħ sabiex kulħadd jikseb fehmiet meraviljużi - mhux biss l-ispettaturi, iżda wkoll il-kompetituri. Fl-2007 kelli ġirja kbira u ħadt ir-rekord għall-iktar ħin mgħaġġel. Imbagħad il-karozza li jmiss neħħiet ir-rekord minni. Id rebħet waħda mill-aqwa toroq f'wieħed mill-aktar pajjiżi iebsa talli rallying għal żewġ minuti kollha! Anadiou - Rally ta 'Ċipru Dan mhuwiex l-aħjar stadju jew saħansitra l-aħjar rally fid-dinja, iżda hija dar għal uħud mill-emozzjonijiet l-aktar intensi tiegħi. Wara bidu diffiċli għall-istaġun 2011 tiegħi meta ġġarraf 400 metru fl-ewwel avveniment tiegħi mat-tim ta 'Skoda, ilkoll ħdimna ħafna biex niġbduha flimkien. U wara dak ix-xogħol iebes kollu, hawn kont fl-aħħar stadju tal-istaġun bit-titlu fil-ħakma tiegħi. Kelli ċomb kbir, allura kelli bżonn biss nispiċċa. Imma kif tikkonċentra f'dawk is-sitwazzjonijiet meta ma jkunx hemm pressjoni biex issuq malajr? Huwa tassew diffiċli li ssuq b'sitta minn għaxra meta tqatta 'ħajtek toħroġ ċatta, u s-soluzzjoni tiegħi hija li nsuq aktar lejn il-ġenb għall-ispettaturi. Hemm inqas ċans li tiġġarraf iżda xorta teħtieġ il-konċentrazzjoni totali tiegħek. Allura dak li għamilt. U fl-aħħar, ferħ totali. Li tirbaħ dak it-titlu kien tal-għaġeb - u li nkun kapaċi mmur lura u niddefendi t-titlu tiegħi mill-ġdid din is-sena kien daqsxejn speċjali. Drummond Hill - Rally tal-Iskozja Ħadt l-ewwel rebħa tiegħi tal-IRC fuq Rally tal-Iskozja, u dan kien il-palk li verament spikka għalija fuq dan l-avveniment inkredibbli. Għal darb'oħra, huwa tassew mgħaġġel, mimli crests u ħafna mill-ħin li qed issuq għomja, u jpoġġi l-fiduċja assoluta tiegħek fil-pacenotes. Meta nirċitaw stadju ġeneralment ngħaqqduh, u Ill narawha lura bejn darbtejn u sitt darbiet. Dan kien definittivament wieħed li rajt sitt darbiet, u anke dakinhar ma tgħallimtx għax huwa daqshekk kumpless. Fin-niexef tassew huwa sabiħ: veloċi, jiċċirkola u ta 'sodisfazzjon. L-inkwiet huwa, ix-xita ħafna fl-Iskozja. Ronde - Rallye Sanremo Dan huwa wieħed mill-itwal stadji fir-rally f'aktar minn 27 mil; l-aħħar darba li kont hemm, l-iktar karozza mgħaġġla ħadet ftit inqas minn nofs siegħa biex tlesti l-palk. Libes monitor tar-rata tal-qalb għall-ġirja kollha, u jekk ngħidlek li kelli medja ta '155 taħbita fil-minuta għat-tul allura jkollok idea ta' kemm hu intens. Iltqajt fil-187 taħbita fil-minuta. Dan pjuttost għoli meta wieħed iqis lil Im f'karozza strapped f'sedil u sempliċement iċċaqlaq dirgħajk u għekiesi. Anke l-aqwa sewwieqa tad-dinjiet iridu jitgħallmu jikkonċentraw fuq li jmorru daqshekk malajr għal dak iż-żmien. Jiġi mal-esperjenza. Smaadola - Rally Numedal, in-Norveġja Dan l-istadju huwa sfida klassika Norveġiża tas-silġ. Huwa 'l fuq fil-muntanji, u huwa mmexxi għat-telgħa filgħodu u mbagħad għan-niżla biex jagħlaq l-avveniment. U ħallini ngħidlek li huwa mgħaġġel! U tant sabiħa. Fil-fatt saq minn dan l-istadju darba, biex nitgħallem dwar kif jaħdem rally. Jien kuntent li nammetti issa li jien l-agħar passiġġier li qatt kien hemm, u qatt ma nista 'nkun ko-sewwieq. Iżda fuq dik il-ġirja għan-niżla huwa bħal sewqan permezz ta 'stampa f'100mph. Up hill, down dale and everything in between - Skoda works driver Andreas Mikkelsen tells us his favourite rally stagesWhats your favourite piece of road? Is it fast, twisty, narrow or wide? Every enthusiast has an answer, but few can top a rally drivers answers for quality or variety. Mud, snow or tar, theyve seen it all. Fast, technical, tree-lined or teetering on a precipice, theyve done it. Always against the clock and in the heat of competition, they tackle the worlds toughest roads in the worlds most extreme road cars. Skodas double IRC champion, Andreas Mikkelsen, may only be 23, but he has six years of top-flight competition behind him. Hes competed across the globe in a variety of cars, and his answer to the question tells you a lot about what motivates him. There are common themes in many of his answers – notably that the bigger and faster the challenge, the happier he is – but its just as clear that to be a successful rally driver you need to be able to deliver, whatever the conditions. Here, then, are Mikkelsens 10 favourite challenges in the world… Vargåsen - Rally Sweden This stage has everything: blind crests, tight, technical sections and really fast bits. But everyone knows it for the jump known as Colins Crest, named in honour of 1995 world champion Colin McRae. What makes it so special is that its not just a flat-out leap; you need to have super-accurate pacenotes, your co-driver needs to call it perfectly and you need to have a very specific line. That and super-big balls. The fastest cars jumped more than 30 metres over the crest last year. Thats an awful long way to be in the air with no control when you are going at high speed — especially if you hit the jump off line. Sete Cidades - Rallye Azores This is known as the volcano stage because of the location, which is pretty spectacular when youre standing still, let alone going flat out in a rally car. Theres a long section that runs along the top of a ridge, with massive drops on each side. The roads on this rally are generally very narrow, but in some parts they really open up. That requires a very technical style of driving, and I love that. There are also sections of the event where the stages have both gravel and tarmac sections. Most drivers hate that, as the car feels so loose on the tarmac on gravel settings, but I love the challenge. Ouninpohja - Rally Finland This is one of the most famous stages in the World Rally Championship. At 21 miles, it is a really long challenge. You are flat out on gravel, moving the car around at high speed over blind crests and jumps that just keep coming at you. It is one of those stages that you will never drive perfectly, because theres so much to take in. Experience helps, but there is too much to learn in one lifetime. The speeds are also so high that you can never take risks; if you dont respect the stage, it will bite you. Halfway - Wales Rally GB I actually had a pretty big crash here in 2007. The car went over five or six times after I slid offline and clipped a bank. It wasnt so bad; generally, the crashes that dont end with a sudden stop arent so big. But what I love about this stage is what also caught me out: they are fast, flowing roads, and if you miss the line then you must accept you will lose a lot of time or risk going off. The crests are frequent and they often tighten, so you must drive with confidence and listen to your co-driver, not your eyes. Glen Roy - Rally Isle of Man People say rally drivers are mad, but after rallying on the Isle of Man I know that I am completely sane compared to the bikers. This is what real rallying is about: tight, twisty stages, open, fast moorland, hairpins, crests, blind corners and everything else in between. Picking one great stage is not easy — they are all great — but Glen Roy is one of the ones that sticks in my mind, not least because I still hold the fastest time ever over it. At just over 4. 5 miles in length, its short, but it is also fun. This is such a special rally; it has a unique atmosphere, and one day Ill find a way to get back there. Molls Gap - Circuit of Ireland Rallying is a huge sport in Ireland, and the Molls Gap stage is perhaps the most famous of all. It is so fast, and it cuts through open scenery so everyone gets fantastic views — not just the spectators, but also the competitors. In 2007 I had a great run and took the record for the fastest time. Then the next car took the record off me. Id conquered one of the best roads in one of the toughest countries for rallying for all of two minutes! Anadiou - Cyprus Rally This isnt the best stage or even best rally in the world, but it is home to some of my most intense emotions. After a difficult start to my 2011 season when I crashed 400 metres into my first event with the Skoda team, we all worked hard to pull it together. And after all that hard work, here I was at the last stage of the season with the title in my grasp. I had a big lead, so I just needed to finish. But how do you concentrate in those situations when theres no pressure to drive fast? It really is hard to drive at six-tenths when you spend your life going flat out, and my solution is to drive more sideways for the spectators. There is less chance of crashing but it still requires your total concentration. So thats what I did. And at the end, total joy. To win that title was amazing — and to be able to go back and defend my title again this year was every bit as special. Drummond Hill - Rally of Scotland I took my first IRC win on Rally of Scotland, and this was the stage that really stood out for me on this incredible event. Again, its really fast, full of crests and a lot of the time you are driving blind, putting your absolute trust in the pacenotes. When we recce a stage we usually video it, and Ill watch it back between two and six times. This one was definitely one I watched six times, and even then I didnt learn it because it is so complex. In the dry it really is beautiful: fast, flowing and rewarding. Trouble is, it rains a lot in Scotland. Ronde - Rallye Sanremo This is one of the longest stages in rallying at more than 27 miles; the last time I was there, the fastest car took just under half an hour to complete the stage. I wore a heart rate monitor for the whole run, and if I tell you I averaged 155 beats per minute for the duration then youll get an idea of how intense it is. I peaked at 187 beats per minute. Thats pretty high considering Im in a car strapped in a seat and just moving my arms and ankles about. Even the worlds best drivers have to learn to concentrate on going that fast for that long. It comes with experience. Smaadola - Numedal Rally, Norway This stage is a classic Norwegian snow challenge. It is up in the mountains, and is run uphill in the morning and then downhill to close the event. And let me tell you it is fast! And so beautiful. I actually co-drove through this stage once, to learn about how a rally works. I am happy to admit now that I am the worst passenger ever, and I could never be a co-driver. But on that downhill run it is like driving through a picture at 100mph.
