The Red Bull Rally Team News |
The Red Bull Rally Team again on the road for the 2008 Rally World Championship that will take place the 8th 9th and 10th of February at Uddeholm in Karlstadt, Sweden.
This year, the young Portuguese talent Bernardo Sousa and his co-driver Carlos Magalhaes will also be part of the Red Bull Rally team accompanying Andreas Aigner and Klaus Wicha. After a first threat of cancellation because of a persistent lack of snow around Karlstadt, winter is back in Sweden and both pairs have confirmed the presence of snow and ice for this first race.
The show seems to be guaranteed now. During this same competition last year, Aigner and Wicha finished 10th in the Group N after they lost over two minutes when they went off the road. Both Red Bull drivers are clearly focused with the challenge of this year’s races.

Raimund Baumschlager is the boss of the Red Bull Team and in his
words: “Bernardo Sousa will be competing on snow for the first time so
we are expecting him just to finish the rally and learn from the
experience. It will be frighteningly difficult for him on an unusual
surface. I think that we are fully prepared and able to finally get
going.”
The starting point will be Thursday at the Super Stage in Karlstadt,
home of rallying in Sweden. The total length this year is 340.2 km
comprising 20 scheduled stages.
