Here are two videos from Petter’s test in Sweden. Looking at them, you can easily understand he had fun
Thanks to Hedlund80 for the videos.
Petter Solberg tested his Citroën C4WRC today outside Torsby – and had really fun according to himself. From the reports I’ve heard, Petter is satisfied with the car, but of course there are things left to tweak. Good then that Petter has hired Francois “Fx” Demaison full time this year as an engineer, so they can sort things out…
Tomorrow Petter will start the local rally Finnskogsvalsen as an extended test – around 90 km’s of competitive stages on old Rally Sweden roads. It will be really interesting to hear Petters impressions after that test!
Not only Räikkönen is testing – rumours say that Petter Solberg will test in one of his two newly bought Citroen C4 WRC’s in Finnskogsvalsen on the 23rd of January. Finnskogsvalsen is a local Swedish competition in the county of Värmland, running on the same type of roads as the Rally Sweden.
Here is an extract from the entry list in the rally:
| Petter Solberg | NAF | A-förare | Citroën |
| Phil Mills | Grp. A > 2000 | C4 WRC |
Kimi Räikkönen did his first Citroen C4 WRC tests yesterday in Citroens test track outside their factory in Satory, France. The test covered around 50km’s and was successful. Afterwards, Räikkönen talked to Autosport and told that he enjoyed meeting the team. He also stated he wants to get back in the car soon:
- It was good to try out a few different things; I was very interested to see how the car reacted when you changed some of the settings. Now I’m really keen to get back behind the wheel of the C4 again, Räikkönen said.
The good thing for Räikkönen then is that his competitive debut, as known, will be already in the Arctic Rally in Finland later this month – as a preparation for Rally Sweden. I also guess that more tests are planned before that rally.
