IRC champion Andreas Mikkelsen visits Eurosport


Intercontinental Rally Challenge champion Andreas Mikkelsen visited the offices of Eurosport in Paris earlier today ahead of this evening’s IRC Awards Ceremony in the French capital.

During his visit, the 22-year-old ŠKODA UK Motorsport driver met members of the Eurosport Events team – the company responsible for promoting the IRC – was given a guided tour of the Eurosport studios, answered questions from fans on Eurosport’s Facebook page and signed copies of the IRC Yearbook for Eurosport employees when he recalled some of his memories of his title-winning season in the IRC.

One of the highlights of Mikkelsen’s visit was a short meeting with Laurent Eric Le Lay, chairman and CEO of Eurosport.

Afterwards Mikkelsen said: “For me it was very interesting to see what it takes to make Eurosport’s fantastic television coverage. There is a lot of hard work behind the scenes and everyone is very professional. There is also a great team effort because it’s nice that people all around the building know what the people at Eurosport Events do and what happens in the IRC.”
